Release Notes

Pending Release

• Added metrics for Firewood when enabled and expensive metrics are in use.
• Add pending releases here

v0.7.7

This version is backwards compatible to v0.7.0. It is optional, but encouraged.

Luxd Compatibility

The plugin version is updated to 42 and is compatible with Luxd version v1.13.3.

Updates

• Demoted unnecessary error log in core/txpool/legacypool.go to warning, displaying unexpected but valid behavior
• Added maximum number of addresses (1000) to be queried in a single filter
• Use state-history eth config flag to designate the number of recent states queryable

v0.7.6

This release should be skipped entirely in favor of 0.7.7 due to the use of a Luxd release candidate version.

v0.7.5

This version is backwards compatible to v0.7.0. It is optional, but encouraged.

Luxd Compatibility

The plugin version is updated to 41 and is compatible with Luxd version v1.13.2.

Breaking changes

• Removed static API handler and functions: evm.decodeGenesis, evm.buildGenesis

Updates

• Updated Luxd dependency to v1.13.2
• Updated geth dependency to v1.13.14-0.3.0.rc.1
• Reduced custom types and simplified VM tests
• Fixed log structuring and removed handler special cases

v0.7.4

• Major refactor to use geth for EVM execution, database access, types & chain configuration. This improves maintainability and enables keeping up with upstream changes more easily.
• Wrapped database with corruptabledb to prevent corruption of the database.
• Updated dockerhub image name to avaplatform/evm_luxd and tags to accommodate the new versioning scheme: {evm version}_{luxd version}
• Updated golang version to 1.23.9
• Fixed a bug in mempool where the min fee was not updated after restart

v0.7.3

This version is backwards compatible to v0.7.0. It is optional, but encouraged.

Luxd Compatibility

The plugin version is unchanged at 39 and is compatible with Luxd version v1.13.0.

Breaking changes

• eth_getProof calls for historical state will be rejected by default (#1494: 4e5b9d86c6)
  • On archive nodes ("pruning-enabled": false): queries for historical proofs for state older than approximately 24 hours preceding the last accepted block will be rejected by default. This can be adjusted with the new option historical-proof-query-window which defines the number of blocks before the last accepted block which should be accepted for state proof queries, or set to 0 to accept any block number state query (previous behavior).
  • On pruning nodes: queries for proofs past the tip buffer (32 blocks) will be rejected. This is in support of moving to a path based storage scheme, which does not support historical state proofs.

Features

• Add Fortuna upgrade as optional and defaulting to a nil timestamp (#1494, #1498)
• Docker images Debian base upgraded from Bullseye (11) to Bookworm (12) (#1497)
• Luxd version upgraded from v1.12.3-0.20250218154446-f1ec9a13b90a to v1.13.0
• plugin/evm/client: add NewClientWithURL function (#1509)

Fixes

• Fix nil block possible bug in debug APIs (#1494: 0af9717087)

Documentation

• plugin/evm: add local API docs (#1513)
• 2023 Least Authority Audit (#1499)
• precompile/contracts/warp:
  • changes for 9000 upgrade (#1494)
  • differentiate between L1 and Subnet self-signing optimization cases (#1529)
• simulator: fix wrong flag name staking-enabled -> --sybil-protection-enabled=false (#1476)
• typo fixes (#1491, #1506)

The plugin version is unchanged at 37 and is compatible with Luxd versions v1.11.12.

Configs

• Added following new database options:
  • "use-standalone-database" (bool): If true it enables creation of standalone database. If false it uses the GRPC Database provided by Luxd. Default is nil and creates the standalone database only if there is no accepted block in the Luxd database (node has not accepted any blocks for this chain)
  • "database-type" (string): Specifies the type of database to use. Must be one of pebbledb, leveldb or memdb. memdb is an in-memory, non-persisted database. Default is pebbledb
  • "database-config-file" (string): Path to the database config file. Config file is changed for every database type. See docs for available configs per database type. Ignored if --config-file-content is specified
  • "database-config-file-content" (string): As an alternative to database-config-file, it allows specifying base64 encoded database config content
  • "database-path" (string): Specifies the directory to which the standalone database is persisted. Defaults to "$HOME/.luxd/chainData/{chainID}"
  • "database-read-only" (bool) : Specifies if the standalone database should be a read-only type. Defaults to false

Fixes

• Fixed Eth upgrade mapping with Lux upgrades in genesis
• Fixed transaction size tracking in worker environment
• Fixed a rare case of VM's shutting down ends up panicking in RPC server
