RSK Iris Release v3.2.0

IMPORTANT: RSK Testnet consensus rules have changed in this version, and it is not compatible with previous versions (only for Testnet, this doesn't apply to Mainnet). If you've been running previous versions of the RSK client node in Testnet, we encourage you to update to this new version. The Testnet network upgrade will happen at block number 2,581,800. This is a non-mandatory upgrade for RSK Mainnet nodes.

This release contains enhancements to the node's JSON-RPC interface, as well as Ethereum compatibility fixes. It also introduces a consensus change for Testnet that increases the minimum block difficulty and avoids scenarios where a huge number of blocks would be mined in a short period of time if the difficulty dropped to the minimum levels (doesn't apply to Mainnet).

This is a summary of the changes included in this version:

• Improved message queue expiration policy (#1610)
• Added support for pending parameter in eth_getBlockByNumber JSON-RPC method (#1627)
• JSON-RPC compatibility fixes (#1623, #1629)
• Fixed eth_isSyncing method which was not working as expected (#1618)
• Introduced gas exactimation enhancements to the eth_estimateGas method (#1548)
• Mining rate limiting and updated minimum block difficulty for RSK Testnet (#1615, #1671)

RSK Papyrus Release v2.0.1

IMPORTANT 1: Some users reported that after upgrading to v2.0.0, they have experienced peer disconnections in their nodes. This release is a patch version to better handle timeout and peer disconnection scenarios. Please note that users running rskj Wasabi v1.3.0 don’t need to install rskj Papyrus v2.0.0 before installing this patch. Information below has been copied from v2.0.0 release, to be sure nobody misses it.

IMPORTANT 2: Since consensus rules have changed, this version is not compatible with previous versions. If you've been running previous versions of RSK client node, we encourage you to update to this new version. The Mainnet network upgrade will happen at block number 2,392,700. The Testnet network upgrade will happen at block number 863,000.

A non-comprehensive list of changes included in this version is:

• Garbage Collector v0.2, includes improvements to the previously released garbage collection feature (beta version*).
• Import sync v0.1 feature will let users sync their nodes in a fraction of the time currently required (beta version*)
• Added support for segwit (P2SH-P2WPKH) peg-in transactions in RSK 2-way peg (after network upgrade activation).
• Additions to the 2WP process (locking cap and improvements to the return of funds logic) in preparation to the whitelisting mechanism removal (after network upgrade activation).
• Added support for logs subscription in eth_subscribe JSON RPC method.
• Added ECADD, ECMUL and PairingCheck precompiled contracts (after network upgrade activation).
• Added CHAINID, SELFBALANCE and EXTCODEHASH opcodes (after network upgrade activation).

(*) These features are still in beta, meaning they are not yet reliable to be used in a production environment and are disabled by default. Please refer to RSK Developer Portal for further information.

RSK Wasabi Release v1.2.1

IMPORTANT: since rskj v1.2.1 includes security improvements, it is strongly recommended that all users update to this new version to avoid interruptions in their node's operations. In line with this, our public nodes offering JSON RPC services will serve rskj nodes version 1.2.1 with no support to previous versions.

This release improves block validation logic and enforces Armadillo checks by making this security feature part of the consensus rules. Armadillo adds additional information to RSK merge-mining tags so that users or automated systems can make informed decisions about the network health. More information about Armadillo can be found here.
