Sentry Omega (v1.10.23)
Geth v1.10.23 is a hotfix release for a pruning regression that was introduced in v1.10.22. For technical details on the bug, please check out the PR that fixes it.
If anyone updated to v1.10.22 in these past couple of days, there is a fairly high probability that some state data might have gone missing from your node. Doing a full check on the state is possible
geth snapshot traverse-state, but will likely take a day and the fix is all the same anyway.To ensure that your node has all the data, please rewind your local chain to a block before you updated (if unsure, just pick a block before the release time) with
debug.setHead("0xblock-number-in-hex")via the Geth console (on IPC), ordebug_setHeadvia JSON RPC (you might need to temporarilly expose thedebugnamespace to do that). The brute force alternative of course is to resync after an update, which you can do by deleting yourchaindatafolder (but please leave theancientfolder within to keep the blocks).We apologize for this regression and the headaches fixing it will entail on your side. We've learnt the hard way that there's an untested class of bugs that appear across full sync restarts.
For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.10.23 release milestone.
As with all our previous releases, you can find the:
- Pre-built binaries for all platforms on our downloads page.
- Docker images published under
ethereum/client-go.- Ubuntu packages in our Launchpad PPA repository.

Additional notes about the merge changes
- This release configures the Terminal Total Difficulty for mainnet. (#25528)
- Many engine API issues found by hive have been fixed for this release. (#25552, #25423, #25414, #25416, #25428)
- The Goerli testnet is now internally configured as 'successfully merged'. (#25519, #24538)
JSON-RPC API
- The log filtering system now uses a LRU cache for block logs, speeding up repeated queries for the same block range. The cache size can be configured using the
--cache.blocklogscommand-line flag. (#25459)eth_createAccessListis now much faster when no gas limit is provided. (#25467)eth_feeHistorynow also works with thefinalizedblock specifier. (#25442)- The built-in callTracer now supports an option
onlyTopCall. Enabling this option makes the tracer skip internal calls. We added this option to enable use of thecallTracerto get the return data of reverted transactions. (#25430)Go-library changes
- Storage of trie node hash preimages is now disabled by default. You can enable it again using the
--cache.preimagesflag. (#25287, #25538, #25533)- The ethash mining implemenation now removes temporary DAG files, which could be left of disk when geth was interrupted while generating a DAG. (#25381)
- ethclient now supports the
eth_feeHistorymethod. (#25403)
