22.7.3
22.7.3
Additions and Improvements
- Allow free gas networks in the London fee market #4061
- Upgrade besu-native to 0.6.0 and use Blake2bf native implementation if available by default #4264
- Resets engine QoS timer with every call to the engine API instead of only when ExchangeTransitionConfiguration is called #4411
- ExchangeTransitionConfiguration mismatch will only submit a debug log not a warning anymore #4411
- Upgrade besu-native to 0.6.1 and include linux arm64 build of bls12-381 #4416
- Create a new flag on RocksDB (--Xplugin-rocksdb-high-spec-enabled) for high spec hardware to boost performance
- Transaction pool improvements to avoid filling the pool with not executable transactions, that could result in empty or semi-empty block proposals #4425
- Limit Transaction pool consumption by sender to a configurable percentage of the pool size #4417
Bug Fixes
- Retry block creation if there is a transient error and we still have time, to mitigate empty block issue #4407
- Fix StacklessClosedChannelException in Besu and resulted timeout errors in CL clients (#4398, #4400)

22.7.2
22.7.2
Besu 22.7.2 is a recommended release for the Merge and Mainnet users. 22.7.1 remains Merge-ready. This release provides additional robustness before the Merge with some fixes and improvements in sync, peering, and logging.
Additions and Improvements
- Better management of jemalloc presence/absence in startup script #4237
- Retry mechanism when getting a broadcasted block fail on all peers #4271
- Filter out disconnected peers when fetching available peers #4269
- Updated the default value of fast-sync-min-peers post merge #4298
- Log imported block info post merge #4310
- Pandas! Pandas now appear in 3 phases: The black bear and polar bear that are preparing? Those will appear when
your client has TTD configured (which is setup by default for mainnet), is in sync, and processing Proof of Work blocks. In the second phase you will see them powering up when the Terminal Total Difficulty block is added to the blockchain.
The final form of the Ethereum Panda will appear when the first finalized block is received from the Consensus Layer.
Bug Fixes
22.7.1
22.7.1 - Mandatory Upgrade for The Merge on Ethereum Mainnet!
Hi folks! This is the big one... This update includes configurations that make Besu compatible with the Mainnet Merge! Make sure you read up on the Merge here to understand what is happening to both your node and the network (and check out this page to make sure you are prepared). The date for the Merge is likely to be the 15th of September and can be tracked here.
Since Besu releases on a two-weekly cadence, we anticipate one more (likely optional) release prior to the Merge with last minute fixes, cleanup, and more so stay tuned for that. Make sure your nodes are in sync prior to the 15th if you want to participate in history!
Additions and Improvements
- Introduce a cap to reputation score increase #4230
- Add experimental CLI option for
--Xp2p-peer-lower-bound#4200 - Improve pending blocks retrieval mechanism #4227
- set mainnet terminal total difficulty #4260
Bug Fixes
- Fixes off-by-one error for mainnet TTD fallback #4223
- Fix off-by-one error in AbstractRetryingPeerTask #4254
- Refactor and fix retrying get block switching peer #4256
- Fix encoding of key (short hex) in eth_getProof #4261
- Fix for post-merge networks fast-sync #4224, #4276

22.7.0
22.7.0 is our Quarterly release with some big fixes over the previous 22.4.4. This is a recommended update for all users on public networks and those using Bonsai. This release also make many improvements to underlying peering code for better peering on public networks. There are a number of fixes around Merge-related code and the robustness of Besu as a whole.
With the stability of Bonsai in 22.7.0 and some planned optimizations, we are anticipating changing it to the default storage format at some point in the future. We will have more to share on this in the coming months, but nothing more at this time.
This update also includes tweaks and optimizations for memory management, RocksDB, peering default values, and more. See the changelog for more details.

22.7.0-RC3
22.7.0-RC3
Known/Outstanding issues:
- Besu requires a restart post-merge to re-enable remote transaction processing #3890
- Investigation/improvement of peering performance is ongoing for post-merge test networks Ropsten and Kiln
Additions and Improvements
- Engine API: Change expiration time for JWT tokens to 60s #4168
- Sepolia mergeNetSplit block #4158
- Goerli TTD #4160

Bug Fixes
22.7.1-RC2
Improvements
- JEMalloc included in this release. jemalloc is an alternative memory allocator that better handles concurrency and memory fragmentation. Like many other projects, we have discovered that besu benefits from using a modern alternative malloc implementation. In the latest release we have included a preference for the jemalloc library, and have found it to manage rocksdb memory much more effectively. In addition to adding this preference in the *nix besu startup script, jemalloc has been baked into our docker images by default. If you are not running docker besu in a docker container, linux users can leverage jemalloc simply by installing the jemalloc library (which most distributions have a package for)
- RocksDB configuration changes. We have spent time researching how to configure our database technology (RocksDB) to gain better performance and address some recent regressions. We are seeing improvements on Block Import times and memory usage in total, so please update to this build if you are experiencing memory challenges.
- Add a block to the bad blocks if it did not descend from the terminal block #4080
- Backward sync exception improvements #4092
- Remove block header checks during backward sync, since they will be always performed during block import phase #4098
- Optimize the backward sync retry strategy #4095
Bug Fixes
- Changed max message size in the p2p layer to 16.7MB from 10MB to improve peering performance #4120
- Fixes for parent stateroot mismatch when using Bonsai storage mode (please report if you encounter this bug on this version) #4094
- Above Bonsai related fixes have addressed situations where the event log was not indexed properly #3921
- Fixes related to backward sync and reorgs #4097
- Checkpoint sync with more merge friendly checkpoint blocks #4085
- Fixes around RocksDB performance and memory usage #4128
- Fix for RPC performance parallelization to improve RPC performance under heavy load #3959
- Fix for post-Merge peering after PoW is removed in our logic for weighting peers #4116
- Various logging changes to improve UX- Return the correct latest valid hash in case of bad block when calling engine methods #4056
- Add a PoS block header rule to check that the current block is more recent than its parent #4066
- Fixed a trie log layer issue on bonsai during reorg #4069
- Fix transition protocol schedule to return the pre Merge schedule when reorg pre TTD #4078
- Remove hash to sync from the queue only if the sync step succeeds #4105
- The build process runs successfully even though the system language is not English #4102
- Avoid starting or stopping the BlockPropagationManager more than once #4122
