Geth v1.10.21 is a maintenance release, adding built-in configuration for the merge fork on the Goerli testnet and the mergeNetsplitBlock for the Sepolia testnet.

Specifically, this release

  • defines a terminal total difficulty for Goerli as 10_790_000 (#25324) and
  • defines the mergeNetsplitBlock as 1735371 for Sepolia. (#25372)

Command changes

  • The --netrestrict option is now also applied for discv5. (#25304)
  • DNS discovery is now enabled for the Sepolia testnet. (#25288)
  • puppeth can no longer deploy parity and pyethapp because these clients are unmaintained. (#25329)
  • abigen now has a workaround for parameter names which are also Go keywords. (#25307)
  • A few minor regressions in geth CLI argument handling are fixed. (#25234)

RPC API changes

  • In block-based RPC methods like eth_getBlockByNumber, the safe block specifier can now be used to refer to the "safe" block post-merge. (#25165)
  • The baseFee can now be overridden in block tracing. (#25219)
  • RPC methods returning transaction objects now return the chainId for legacy transactions. (#25244)
  • In eth_sendTransaction, the chainId parameter now verified even for legacy transactions. (#25157)
  • eth_call, eth_estimateGas no longer add tx fees to the coinbase account. (#25214)
  • A new built-in tracer, revertReasonTracer, has been added. (#25265)

Merge changes

  • The engine API can no longer perform block insertion while the client is snap-syncing. (#25210)
  • When trying to set bad blocks retrieved via sync as canon, the API now returns INVALID. (#25190)
  • The engine API endpoint ('authrpc') is now enabled by default. (#25152, #25394)
  • Several other engine API bugs found during #TestingTheMerge are fixed. (#25230, #25136, #25236)

Go Library Changes

  • The snap sync implementation has been updated in preparation for 'path-based state storage'. (#24898)
  • The HTTP RPC server will no longer hang on shutdown even with very busy connections. (#25258)
  • Package signer/core/apitypes now provides a function to calculate the EIP-712 typed data hash. (#25283)

Build changes

  • We have reverted to an older version of goleveldb because recent versions have buggy compaction and manifest handling. (#25413)
  • This release is built with Go 1.18.4 (#25247, #25293)
  • Release tarballs have proper directory timestamps. (#25290)
