Breaking Changes

  • Version 22.4.x will be the last series to support Java 11. Version 22.7.0 will require Java 17 to build and run.
  • In the Besu EVM Library all references to SHA3 have been renamed to the more accurate name Keccak256, including class names and comment. #3749
  • Column family added for backward sync #3638
    • Note that this added column family makes this a one-way upgrade. That is, once you upgrade your db to this version, you cannot roll back to a previous version of Besu.

Changelog

22.1.0

Breaking Changes

  • Plugin API: BlockHeader.getBaseFee() method now returns an optional Wei instead of an optional Long #3065

Additions and Improvements

  • Add support for additional JWT authentication algorithms #3017
  • Represent baseFee as Wei instead of long accordingly to the spec #2785
  • Implements EIP-4399 to repurpose DIFFICULTY opcode after the merge as a source of entropy from the Beacon chain. #3081
  • Re-order external services (e.g JsonRpcHttpService) to start before blocks start processing #3118
  • Stream JSON RPC responses to avoid creating big JSON strings in memory #3076
  • Ethereum Classic Mystique Hard Fork #3256
  • Genesis file parameter blockperiodseconds is validated as a positive integer on startup to prevent unexpected runtime behaviour #3186
  • Add option to require replay protection for locally submitted transactions #1975
  • Update to block header validation for IBFT and QBFT to support London fork EIP-1559 #3251
  • Move into SLF4J as logging facade #3285
  • Changing the order in which we traverse the word state tree during fast sync. This should improve fast sync during subsequent pivot changes.
  • Updated besu-native to version 0.4.3 #3331
  • Refactor synchronizer to asynchronously retrieve blocks from peers, and to change peer when retrying to get a block. #3326
  • Disable RocksDB TTL compactions #3356
  • add a websocket frame size configuration CLI parameter [3368][https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/3379]

  • Fix regression on cors-origin star value
  • Fix for ethFeeHistory accepting hex values for blockCount
  • Fix a sync issue, when the chain downloader incorrectly shutdown when a task in the pipeline is cancelled. #3319
