Ethereum (Go) - v1.10.20


Geth v1.10.20 is a maintenance release, adding built-in configuration for the merge fork on the Sepolia testnet.

Specifically, this release defines a terminal total difficulty for Sepolia (#25179).

Geth command changes

  • Geth and most other command-line tools now use a newer version of the command-line argument/flag handling library. There is one new restriction with this change: flags must now be given before other arguments. Very few of Geth's subcommands take arguments, so this is unlikely to cause issues. (#24751)
  • The geth js subcommand has been removed. (#25000)
  • The new --discovery.port flag allows configuring a separate port for the UDP listener. (#24979)
  • Setting p2p bootstrap nodes in the config file now works even when a pre-defined network is selected on the command-line. (#25174)

RPC API changes

  • eth_chainId now always returns the configured chain ID regardless of sync status. This is a violation of EIP-695, but the previous behavior caused issues with CL clients. (#25166, #25168)
  • Transaction objects returned by RPC (e.g. from eth_getTransactionByHash) now always include the chainId field, even for untyped (legacy) transactions. (#25155)
  • The deprecated RPC method personal_signAndSendTransaction has been removed. (#25111)
  • Handling of certain reorg corner cases is improved in the Engine API. (#25187, #25139)
  • A performance regression in JS tracing is resolved. (#25156)

Build changes

  • Bash and zsh completions are now installed by the geth Ubuntu package. (#25195, #25204)
