2022-10-07 09:10:15 +00:00
## 0.99.4 "Transliteration" (07 Oct 2022)
A small update mostly interesting for people building/testing smart contracts
with NeoGo. It contains long-awaited VM CLI update that allows to use
blockchain state and complete set of interops, additional helper functions for
smart contracts and notification checking code (for upcoming 3.5.0 protocol
changes). Node operators using EnableCORSWorkaround (that is still not
recommended, but available) also may want to update to be able to handle
pre-flight CORS requests.
This version is compatible with C# node 3.4.0 and does not require
resynchronization on upgrade. The next release is planned to be compatible
with 3.5.0.
New features:
* address conversion helpers for smart contracts (#2698)
* interop helper to call specific version of a contract (#2695)
* notifications are now checked for manifest compliance, a warning is logged
in case on detected inconsistencies (#2710)
* VM CLI can now use blockchain state DB (including historic states) to run
code with a complete set of interops and contracts available; additional
commands were added to it to inspect storage and generated events (#2723)
Behavior changes:
* type assertion with two return values in Go contracts can't be compiled now
(it never worked properly, #2718)
* RPC server will now handle pre-flight CORS requests (via OPTIONS methods)
when EnableCORSWorkaround setting is on (#2724)
* all transaction-generating CLI commands were unified to accept
gas/sysgas/out/force parameters, ask for confirmation and be able to save
transaction into a file; this affects wallet claim and candidate-related
commands mostly (#2731)
Improvements:
* smartcontract.Builder API was extended with Len method (#2691)
* NNS example contract adjustments for better DNS compatibility (#2679)
* documentation updates (#2708, #2722, #2726, #2728)
* compiler now emits code to explicitly cast runtime.Notify() parameters to
appropriate types (#2720)
* CLI tests repackaging (#2725)
* NeoFS sidechain configurations for mainnet and testnet (#2730)
Bugs fixed:
* panic on node shutdown (#2689)
* panic on inlined append() compilation (#2716)

## 0.99.3 "Simplification" (09 Sep 2022)
Version 0.99.3 brings with it most of the planned refactoring changes to the
RPC client. dApp backend code can be greatly simplified in many cases by
using new APIs (old ones are still available for transition period of about
one-two releases more). We also have some updates for CLI and compiler and a
number of bug fixes.
This version is compatible with C# node 3.4.0 and does not require
resynchronization on upgrade. The next release is planned to be compatible
with 3.5.0 (if it's to be released around currently planned dates).
New features:
* native contract RPC wrappers (#2643, #2646, #2650, #2666, #2665)
* NEP-11 RPC wrappers (#2651)
* invoker interface extension with session-based iterators support (#2650)
* notary Actor greatly simplifying creation of notary-assisted transactions
via RPC client (#2665)
* historic smart contract calls can now be made via CLI (#2683)
Behavior changes:
* calculatenetworkfee RPC can handle paid attributes (NeoGo extensions) and
invalid contract signatures now, it won't return an error for them (#2658)
* graceful node shutdown on SIGTERM (#2660)
* wallet balance commands now require at least 0.99.1 NeoGo version (or
compatible C# node) used by the RPC server (#2667)
Improvements:
* build system corrections (#2641, #2684)
* additional types in `unwrap` (#2650, #2651)
* session iterator consistency check in `unwrap` (#2650)
* multitransfers in NEP-17 RPC wrapper (#2653)
* extended transaction validity time in CLI wallet commands (#2653)
* reference counter optimization in VM (#2659)
* RPC Actor API can have default (used for all transactions) attributes and
callbacks now (#2665)
* neptoken RPC package can now provide wallet.Token data (#2667)
* NEP-11 balance commands can now work without direct token hash
specification or previous token import (#2667)
* support for offline signing in CLI (#2668)
* compiler can optimize out unused global variables now (#2624)
* private keys are now cleaned up from memory when they're no longer needed,
additional Account APIs added to reduce direct interactions with private
keys (#2672)
* updated linter settings, some code cleanup (#2674)
* more documentation and examples for new RPC APIs (#2681)
* refactored state-changing methods of NEP-11/NEP-17 RPC wrappers into a
separate structure to simplify reusing them in higher-level code (#2681)
* simplified rpcclient historic API (#2686)
Bugs fixed:
* compiler panic on empty package list (#2645)
* compiler not allowed to use unnamed parameters in exported methods (#2648)
* compiler allowed to export multireturn functions (#2648)
* compiler panic on nil method receiver in the compiled code (#2649)
* compiler panic on variable initialization from multireturn call (#2644)
* potential lockups or panics on node shutdown (#2652)
* contract manifest not checked for correctness in bindings generation CLI
command (#2656)
* SignTx wallet Account API could lead to inconsistent result in some cases
(#2665)
* wallet Account API allowed to sign with locked accounts (#2665)
* potential panic in keys.WIFDecode on some inputs (#2672)

## 0.99.2 "Recalibration" (12 Aug 2022)
This is a 3.4.0-compatible (tested for mainnet and testnet) update to NeoGo
that implements all of the required protocol changes, adds a lot of new RPC
client interfaces and provides additional service management functions. This
is also the first version to support the recently released Go 1.19. Support
for Go 1.16 is removed at the same time, so you need Go 1.17+ to build NeoGo
now.
With this version you can turn on/off, restart or reconfigure internal node
services like RPC or Oracle without full node shutdown/startup. Node operators
can send an appropriate Unix signal and that'll do the job. At the same time
node operators must resynchronize their nodes when updating to 0.99.2 due to
native contract state change.
A number of RPC client's methods are now deprecated (but still available to
simplify transition), please explore new APIs, try them and leave feedback in
#2597 if any. We expect new APIs to better fit the needs of various backend
RPC client use cases while allowing to remove some repetitive code from
applications at the same time. This release only contains generic NEP-17 call
wrapper, so it doesn't cover all of the things currently provided by the
old client API, but this will be fixed in future releases.
New features:
* signal-based configuration and service reloads (#2612)
* new APIs in smartcontract package to convert Go types into NEP-14
parameters (#2621, #2632)
* invoker package to deal with invocations via RPC in various contexts
(mostly useful for read-only and/or historic calls when used directly,
#2621)
* `hasMethod` method in the ContractManagement native contract (#2598, #2619,
#2640)
* actor package that helps in creating and sending transactions to the
network via RPC using the same set of signers (can be used directly, but
mostly intended to be used by higher-order contract wrappers, #2632, #2637)
* unwrap package in the RPC client that checks for execution results and
converts returned stack items to expected Go types (can be used directly,
but more useful when being used by upper-layer contract wrappers, #2638)
* nep17 RPC client package for simple remote access to NEP-17 contract
methods via RPC, both safe and state-changing (#2642)
Behavior changes:
* smartcontract.Params type and (*Parameter).TryParse APIs were removed
completely as unused and not useful (#2621)
* compiler now rejects unnamed parameter for exported methods (but they
didn't work properly anyway, #2601)
* restored deploy-time out of bounds script checks (#2538, #2619)
* dynamic scripts (like entry scripts) no longer can emit notifications
(#2613)
* db dump and db restore CLI commands now reject `--debug` option (it was
ignored previously, #2625)
Improvements:
* manifest correctness check during compilation (#2601)
* more robust CalledByEntry scope check (#2613)
* a check for excessive arguments in CLI (#2625)
* better help messages for CLI commands (#2625)
* Go 1.19 support (#2634)
* saved transactions created via CLI (`--out`) now use the maximum possible
ValidUntilBlock values (#2632)
* RPC server now returns more data about NeoGo-specific protocol extensions
in `getversion` reply (#2632)
Bugs fixed:
* NEP-6 wallet version was wrong wrt the standard and C# implementation
(#2633)
* smart contract invocations from the CLI didn't compensate for interactive
prompt wait time which could lead to transaction expiration before it was
sent (#2632)
* Oracle native contract's `finish` method reentrancy problem (#2639)

## 0.99.1 "Parametrization" (28 Jul 2022)
We're updating NeoGo to push out a number of significant updates as well as
make it compatible with 3.3.1 version of C# node. The most prominent changes
are RPC sessions for iterators returned from invoke* calls, initial bits of
RPC client refactoring and support for darwin-arm64 and linux-arm64
platforms. A number of internal changes are less visible from outside, but
are also important for future evolution of the code base.
Node operators must resynchronize their nodes to get fully compatible state
(which is confirmed to be compatible with 3.3.1 for current mainnet up to
block 1932677 and T5 testnet up to block 475938). RPC client users, please
review the changes carefully and update your code wrt refactorings made as
well as iterator session support.
Subsequent releases will also change RPC client and associated code, we want
to make it easier to use as well as extend its functionality (see #2597 for
details, comments and suggestions are welcome). 0.99.2 is expected to be
released somewhere in August with 3.4.0 C# node compatibility.
New features:
* `getcandidates` RPC method to get full list of registered candidates and
their voting status (#2587)
* wallet configuration file support to simplify using CLI non-interactively,
use `--wallet-config` option instead of `--wallet` if needed (#2559)
* session-based JSON-RPC iterator API for both server and client with
`traverseiterator` and `terminatesession` calls; notice that the default
server behavior (`SessionEnabled: false`) is compatible with NeoGo 0.99.0,
iterators are expanded the way they were previously, only when sessions are
enabled they're returned by the server to the client (#2555)
* `interop` package now provides helper methods for proper `Hash160`,
`Hash256` and other type comparisons in smart contracts (#2591)
* `smartcontract.Builder` type to assist with entry script creation as well
as a set of CreateXXXScript functions for simple cases (#2610)
Behavior changes:
* 3.3.1-compatible order of ABI methods for the native NeoToken contract
which affects LedgerContract state (#2539)
* `getnextvalidators` RPC was reworked to be compatible with C# node, if you
rely on Active flag from the old response or full candidate list please use
`getcandidates` method (#2587)
* `--account` parameter for `contract manifest add-group` CLI command was
changed to `--address` (short `-a` is still the same) for better
consistency with other commands (#2559)
* (*WSClient).GetError won't return an error in case the connection was
closed with (*WSClient).Close
* `getnepXXbalances` RPCs now return decimals, symbol and token name data
along with asset hash (#2581)
* Ledger.GetBlock will now return state root hash for chains that use
StateRootInHeader extension (#2583)
* `request.RawParams` type is gone (but it likely wasn't used anway), if
needed use `[]interface{}` directly (#2585)
* `RawParams` field of `request.Raw` was renamed to `Params` (#2585)
* `vm.State` type moved to a package of its own (`vm/vmstate`) to avoid
importing whole VM where only State type is needed (#2586)
* `MaxStorageKeyLen` and `MaxStorageKeyLen` definitions moved from
`core/storage` to `config/limits` package simplifying their usage (#2586)
* `vm.InvocationTree` type moved into `vm/invocations` (#2586)
* `storage.Operation` type moved into `storage/dboper` package (#2586)
* `rpc/server` package moved to `services/rpcsrv` (#2609)
* `rpc/client` package moved to `rpcclient` (#2609)
* `network/metrics` package moved to `services/metrics` (#2609)
* `rpc/request` and `rpc/response` packages were merged under `neorpc`,
`request.Raw` is `neorpc.Request` now, while `response.Raw` is
`neorpc.Response` (#2609)
* `rpc.Config` type was moved to `config.RPC` (#2609)
* `subscriptions.NotificationEvent` type moved to
`state.ContainedNotificationEvent` (#2609)
* `subscriptions.NotaryRequestEvent` type moved to
`result.NotaryRequestEvent` (#2609)

environment (#2537, #2541)
* more detailed client-side error on JSON-RPC WebSocket connection closure
(#2540)
* various node's micro-optimizations both for CPU usage and memory
allocations (#2543)

* compiler can inline methods now (#2583)
* `interface{}()` conversions are supported by the compiler now (although
they don't change values, #2583)
* server-side code moved out of common RPC packages completely (#2585, #2586)
* metrics and DB configurations moved to config and dbconfig packages (#2586)
* calling methods on returned values is now possible in Go smart contracts
(#2593)
* NNS contract now cleans up old entries in case a domain is registered again
after expiration (#2599)
* GetMPTData P2P messages (from P2PStateExchangeExtensions) can now be
processed even if KeepOnlyLatestState is enabled (#2600)
* builds and regular tests for MacOS (#2602, #2608)
* internal `blockchainer.Blockchainer` is finally gone, simplifying some
dependencies (#2609)
* updated CLI `--version` output format to conform with NeoFS tooling style
(#2614)
Bugs fixed:
* dBFT update: increase the number of nodes that respond to RecoveryRequest
(#2546, nspcc-dev/dbft#59)
* invalid block height estimation for historic calls (#2556)
* Signature parameter to RPC invocations was expected in hex format instead
of base64 (#2558)
* missing data in RPC server error logs in some cases (#2560)

(#2567)
* dBFT update: ChangeView messages were not correctly transmitted in

RPC responses when block doesn't contain transactions, the same way C# node
does (#2607)
* candidate registration didn't invalidate committee cache leading to state
differences for T5 testnet (#2615)

## 0.99.0 "Overextrapolation" (03 Jun 2022)
A big NeoGo upgrade that is made to be compatible with C# node version
3.3.0. All of the protocol changes are implemented there with the main one
being the Aspidochelone hardfork that will happen on mainnet
soon. Compatibility is confirmed for current T5 testnet and mainnet, but this
version requires a resynchronization so schedule your updates accordingly.
But it's not just about the protocol changes, this release introduces an
ability to perform historic invocations via RPC for nodes that store old MPT
data. Using `invokefunctionhistoric` you can perform some invocation with the
chain state at the given height, retreiving old balances, ownership data or
anything else you might be interested in.
Please also pay attention to configuration files used by your node, mainnet
ones must have Aspidochelone hardfork enabled at height 1730000 to be
compatible and T5 testnet enables it at height 210000. T5 testnet is different
2022-06-03 14:07:20 +00:00
from T4, it uses different magic number, different seed nodes and different
protocol configuration settings. 0.99.0 won't work for T4 testnet, please
use 0.98.5 for it.
2022-06-03 12:39:45 +00:00

## 0.98.5 "Neutralization" (13 May 2022)
An urgent update to fix the same security issue that was fixed in 3.1.0.1 C#
node release. Please upgrade as soon as possible, resynchronization is not
needed for mainnet.
Bugs fixed:
* GAS emission now happens after NEO transfer is finished (#2488)
2022-05-11 18:55:40 +00:00
## 0.98.4 "Mesmerization" (11 May 2022)
An urgent release to fix incompatibility with mainnet at block 1528989. The
2022-05-11 20:10:02 +00:00
actual pair of problems leading to inability to process this block occurred
2022-05-11 18:55:40 +00:00
earilier than that, so to fix this you need to resynchronize your node. Fixed
node is confirmed to have identical state as 3.1.0 C# node up to block
1529810.
Bugs fixed:
* StdLib itoa() implementation emitted uppercase letters instead of lowercase
(#2478)
* StdLib jsonDeserialize() implementation couldn't handle properly integers
larger than 64-bit signed (#2478)
2022-05-07 15:09:32 +00:00
## 0.98.3 "Liquidation" (07 May 2022)
This is a hotfix release to fix t4 testnet incompatibility at block
1589202. The actual problem was found and fixed during 0.99.0 development
cycle, but 0.99.0 is expected to be incompatible with t4 testnet. This release
allows to continue working with it as well as mainnet (and contains some other
fixes for known problems). It does not require resynchronizing a node.
Improvements:
* double call to `WSClient.Close()` method won't cause a panic (#2420)
Bugs fixed:
* Rules scope considered as invalid in binary representation (#2452)
* incorrect compressed P2P message could lead to panic (#2409)
* notary-assisted transaction could be in inconsistent state on the Notary
node (#2424)
* WSClient panics if request is made after connection breakage (#2450)
* Rules scope JSON representation wasn't compatible with C# implementation
(#2466)
* JSONized Rules scope could only contain 15 conditions instead of 16 (#2466)
2022-03-21 13:04:29 +00:00
## 0.98.2 "Karstification" (21 Mar 2022)
We've decided to release one more 3.1.0-compatible version bringing all of the
2022-03-21 13:20:19 +00:00
new features and bug fixes (along with complete support for Windows platform)
made before going into full 3.2.0 compatibility. It's important for us to give
you more stable and flexible environment for the ongoing hackathon. Contract
bindings generator might be very useful for anyone operating with already
deployed contracts written in other languages, while the node itself can now
be configured for lightweight operation, keeping only the data relevant for
the past MaxTraceableBlocks, no more and no less. Current public networks
don't benefit from it yet with their large MaxTraceableBlocks setting, but
they're growing every day and it's just a matter of time when this feature
will start making a difference. And sorry, but this release is again faster
than the previous one.
2022-03-21 13:04:29 +00:00
We recommend updating, but if your node is not public and you don't
specifically want to play with new things brought by it you might as well wait
for the next one. It requires resynchronization and 0.99.0 will do too because
of planned protocol changes.
New features:
* protocol extension allowing to change the number of validators in existing
network (#2334)
* MPT garbage collection mechanism allowing to store a set of latest MPTs,
RemoveUntraceableBlocks setting now activates it by default unless
KeepOnlyLatestState is used (#2354, #2360)
* NEP-11/NEP-17 transfer data garbage collection (#2363)
* Go bindings generator based on contract manifests (#2349, #2359)
Behavior changes:
* some RPC client functions for divisible NEP-11 changed signatures using
slice of bytes now instead of strings for IDs (#2351)
* heavily refactored storage and dao package interfaces (#2364, #2366)
* support for Go 1.18 added, 1.15 dropped (#2369)
Improvements:
* additional CLI tests (#2341)
* `defer` statement is now compiled more effectively (#2345)
* `defer` statement can be used in conditional branches now (#2348)
* new tests for divisible NEP-11 contract (#2351)
* all tests failing on Windows platform are fixed (#2353)
* RPC functions now accept integers larger than 2^64 from strings (#2356)
* 10-35%% improvement in bulk block processing speed (node synchronization)
depending on machine and configuration (#2364)
* reworked VM CLI fixing Windows incompatibility and UTF-8 bugs (#2365)
* incompletely signed transaction JSONs now also contain hash (#2368)
* RPC clients can now safely be used from multiple threads (#2367)
* additional tests for node startup sequences (#2370)
* customizable notary service fee for Notary extension (#2378)
* signers passed into RPC methods can now contain rules (#2384)
* compiler tests now take less time (#2382)
* some fuzzing tests added (#2399)
Bugs fixed:
* test execution result wasn't checked for CLI invocations that saved
transaction into file (#2341)

## 0.98.1 "Immunization" (31 Jan 2022)
Bug fixes, interesting optimizations, divisible NEP-11 example and a big
compiler update --- everything you wanted to find in this NeoGo update. It
requires chain resynchronization, but this resynchronization will be faster
than ever.
One thing should also be noted, even though this release is 3.1.0-compatible,
it is known to have a different state for testnet after block 975644, but it's
not a NeoGo fault, it'll be fixed in the next C# node release. The root cause
is well-known and is not considered to be critical compatibility-wise.
New features:
* support for reading the wallet from stdin in CLI (where it's possible, #2304)
* new CLI command for wallet password change (#2327)
* `getstateroot` support in RPC client (#2328)
* divisible NEP-11 example (#2333)

requests from CLI (#2315)
* pkg/interop (used by smart contracts) is a separate Go module now (#2292,
#2338)
* smart contracts must be proper Go packages now (#2292, #2326)
Improvements:

* additional APIs in `neotest` framework (#2298, #2299)
* CALLT instruction is now used by the compiler where appropriate leading to
more optimized code (#2306)
* DB seek improvements increasing chain processing speed by ~27% (#2316, #2330)
* updated NeoFS dependencies (#2324)
* optimized emitting zero-length arrays in `emit` package used to construct
scripts (#2299)
* native contract tests refactored using generic contract testing framework (#2299)
2022-01-31 16:16:29 +00:00
* refactored internal Blockchainer interfaces, eliminating unnecessary
2022-01-31 15:47:58 +00:00
dependencies and standardizing internal service behavior (#2323)
* consensus process now always receives incoming transactions which might be
helpful for accepting conflicting (wrt local pool) transactions or when the
memory pool is full (#2323)
* eliminated queued block networked re-requests (#2329)
* better error reporting and parameter handling in FindStates RPC client
method (#2328)
* invoke* RPCs now also return notifications generated during execution (#2331)
* it's possible to get storage changes from the result of invoke* RPCs (#2331)
* better transfer data storage scheme resulting in faster getnep* RPC

## 0.98.0 "Zincification" (03 Dec 2021)
We've implemented all of Neo 3.1.0 protocol changes in this release (and
features like NEP-11 transfer tracker), but as usual it's not the only thing
it contains. If you're developing contracts in Go you might be interested in
contract testing framework this release brings with it, which allows you to
write automated tests in Go. You can also build a node for Windows now and
most of functionality works there (but some known problems still exist, so
this port is considered to be experimental for now). As usual there were some
optimizations made in various components as well as bug fixes.
There are also some things removed in this release, that is BadgerDB and
RedisDB support, this will allow us to optimize better for LevelDB and BoltDB
in future. Notice also that this release requires full node resynchronization.
New features:
* optional signer scope parameter for deploy command (#2213)
* interop packages extended with Abort() function and useful constants (#2228)
* notary subsystem now allows to have multiple multisignature signers as well
as combining simple notary-completed accounts with multisignature ones (#2225)

* `Rules` witness scope (#2251)
* PACKMAP/PACKSTRUCT opcodes and UNPACK extension (#2252)
* NEP-11 transfer tracking with RPC API (#2266)
* support for structure field slicing in the compiler (#2280)
* invoked contract tracing for invoke* RPCs (#2270, #2291)
Behavior changes:
* BadgerDB and RedisDB are no longer available for DB backend (#2196)
* GetNEP17Transfers() RPC client method now works with Uint160 parameter
instead of address (#2266)
Improvements:
* compiler optimizations (#2205, #2230, #2232, #2252, #2256)
* output fees as proper decimals in the CLI (#2214)
* private network created from Makefile now uses dynamic IP addresses (#2224)
* various minor optimizations across whole codebase (#2193, #2243, #2287, #2290)
* `util convert` command now also handles base64 representations of script
hashes (#2237)
* unified "unknown transaction" RPC responses (#2247)
* faster state switch when using P2P state synchronization extension (#2201)
* better logging for oracle errors (#2275)

* incorrect oracle peer configuration in the default private network (#2278)
* compiler error processing functions using defer and inlined calls (#2282)
* node that is simultaneously a CN and Oracle node could create invalid
oracle response transactions (#2279)
* incorrect GetInvocationCounter() result in some cases (#2270)

## 0.97.3 "Exception" (13 Oct 2021)
This updated version of NeoGo is made to be compatible with Neo 3.0.3 bringing
with it all corresponding protocol changes and bug fixes so that you can use
it on public testnet and mainnet. It also brings with it a complete
experimental P2P state exchange extension for private networks as well as
additional optimizations. This is the first version requiring at least Go 1.15
to compile, so make sure your Go is up to date if you're not using pre-built
binaries. Protocol updates and bug fixes made in this release require a
resynchronization on upgrade.
We also make a final call on Badger and Redis DB issue #2130, if there are no
active users of them, support for both will be removed in the next release.
New features:
* MaxConnsPerHost RPC client option (#2151)
* P2P state exchange extension (#2019)
* transaction-related CLI commands now show calculated fees before
sending transaction to RPC node and ask for confirmation (#2180)
* test invocations are now possible for partially-signed transactions stored
in JSON format (used for manual signing by multiple parties, #2179)
* `getstate` and `findstates` RPC to retrieve historic state data (#2207)
Behavior changes:
* added support for Go 1.17, dropped Go 1.14 (#2135, #2147)
* blocking native contracts is no longer possible in Policy contract (#2155)
* `getversion` RPC call now also returns protocol configuration data (#2161,
#2202)
* NEF files now have Source field that can be specified in contract's
metadata (#2191)
* notification events from contracts in subscription service now also contain
container (transaction usually) hash (#2192)
* out of bounds exceptions can be catched in contracts now for PICKITEM and
SETITEM VM instructions (#2209)
Improvements:
* reduced number of memory allocations in some places (#2136, #2141)
* VM optimizations (#2140, #2148)
* notary subsystem documentation (#2139)
* documentation fixes (#2162)
* VM CLI now allows to dump slots (#2164)
* better IPv6 checks in example NNS contract and `getAllRecords` method (#2166)
* updated linters (#2177)
* Migrate methods renamed into Update in examples (#2183)
* old (no longer available) interop function names removed (#2185)
* optimized processing of voting NEO transfers (#2186)
* configuration parameters specified in seconds no longer use (improper)
time.Duration type (#2194)
* better error message for conflicting transactions (#2199)
* open wallet in read-only mode if not changing it (#2184)
* optimized header requests in P2P communication (#2200)
* compiler now checks for method existence if it's specified as safe in
metadata (#2206)
Bugs fixed:
* incorrect CustomGroups witness scope check (#2142)
* empty leaf values were ignored for MPT calculcations (#2143)
* lower-case hexadecimal in block header JSON output (differing from C# node,
#2165)
* `getblockheader` RPC result missing `Nonce` and `Primary` fields (#2165)
* return empty list of unverified transactions for `getrawmempool` RPC
instead of null (C# node never returns null, #2165)
* return empty list of NEF tokens in JSON format instead of null which C#
node never returns (#2165)
* races in some tests (#2173)
* parameter context JSON serialization/deserialization incompatiblity with C#
node leading to interoperability problems (#2171)
* transfers of 0 GAS or NEO were not possible (#2169)
* incorrect ContentTypeNotSupported oracle response transaction handling (#2178)
* JSON escaping differences with C# implementation (#2174)
* NEO balance update didn't save LastUpdatedBlock before GAS distribution
leading to problems in transactions with recursive NEO transfers (#2181)
* panic in CLI transfer command when missing destination address (#2211)
* multiple blank identifiers in function/method were misinterpreted by the
compiler (#2204)
* `getnep17transfers` used uint32 for internal time processing which is not
enough for ms-precision N3 timestamps (#2212)
* PICKITEM instruction could fail on attempt to get an item with long key
from map (#2209)

## 0.97.2 "Dissipation" (18 Aug 2021)
We're rolling out an update for NeoGo nodes that mostly concentrates on
performance. We've tweaked and tuned a lot of code while staying compatible
with N3 mainnet and testnet. At the same time we're gradually introducing
changes required for our P2P state exchange extension and this affected DB
2021-08-18 12:15:59 +00:00
format, so you'll need to resynchronize on update. This update is not
mandatory though, 0.97.1 is still perfectly valid for N3 networks.
2021-08-18 12:06:12 +00:00
Note also that we're discussing removal of Badger and Redis databases support
in future releases, so if you're interested in them take a look at #2130.
Behavior changes:
* address blocking in Policy contract now also blocks calls to contracts with
blocked addresses (#2132)
Improvements:
* numerous memory and CPU optimizations across whole codebase (#2108, #2112,
#2117, #2118, #2122, #2123, #2128, #2114, #2133)
* preliminary work for P2P state exchange extension (#2119)
* `util convert` command now also detects public keys and converts them to
script hash/address (#2125)
Bugs fixed:
* key decoding functions could accept some additional data even though only
key is expected to be present (#2125)
2021-08-18 12:15:59 +00:00
* conflicting dummy transactions could stay in the DB even with block removal
enabled (#2134)
2021-08-18 12:06:12 +00:00
2021-08-06 11:36:37 +00:00
## 0.97.1 "Gasification" (06 Aug 2021)
We're updating NeoGo to make it compatible with the latest protocol changes
made in 3.0.2 version of C# node. But that's not the only thing we do, this
release also fixes one important bug, improves node's performance and adds CLI
support to add group signatures to manifests.
It requires resynchronization on upgrade.
New features:
* `contract manifest add-group` command to add group signatures to contract
manifest (#2100)
Behavior changes:
* GAS contract no longer has Refuel method, it could be used as DOS
amplification tool for attacks on network and there is no way to securely
fix it (#2111)
Improvements:
* memory store optimizations leading to substantial single-node TPS
improvements (#2102)
* various micro-optimizations across the board both for CPU usage and memory
allocations (#2106, #2113)
* optimized transaction decoding (#2110)
Bugs fixed:
* ping messages created with wrong value used for node's height (#2115)
2021-08-02 16:59:42 +00:00
## 0.97.0 "Ventilation" (02 Aug 2021)
This is an official 3.0.0-compatible release that is ready to be used both for
mainnet and testnet. Technically, 0.96.0 and 0.96.1 are compatible too, but
they need an updated configuration to work on mainnet while this version has
it covered.
We keep improving our node and this release is not just a repackage of
something older, so DB format changes require a resynchronization if you're
upgrading from 0.96.X.
Behavior changes:
* updated configuration for mainnet (#2103)
Improvements:
* documentation for contract configuration file (#2097)
* significant change to NEP-17 tracking code, it shouldn't affect valid
NEP-17 tokens, but now we store a little less data in the DB and get more
from token contracts when needed (for `getnep17balances` RPC for
example); this change is required for our future state exchange protocol
extension (#2093)
* improved block processing speed on multicore systems (#2101)
* JSON deserialization now has the same limits as binary, but this doesn't
affect any valid code (#2105)
Bugs fixed:
* potential deadlocks in notary-enabled nodes (#2064)
* wallet files not truncated properly on key removal (#2099)
2021-07-23 10:26:00 +00:00
## 0.96.1 "Brecciation" (23 Jul 2021)
New CLI commands, updated dependencies and some bugs fixed --- you can find
all of this in the new NeoGo release. It's compatible with 0.96.0 (except for
multisignature contexts, but you're not likely to be using them) and
confirmed to have proper RC4 testnet state up to 15K blocks (but 0.96.0 is
fine wrt this too). At the same time we recommend to resynchronize the chain
if you're using LevelDB or BoltDB, both databases were updated.
New features:
* `query candidates`, `query committee` and `query height` CLI commands
(#2090)
* `GetStateHeight` RPC client call support (#2090)
Behavior changes:
* `wallet candidate getstate` command was renamed to `query voter`, now it
also prints the key voted for and handles addresses with 0 balance without
spitting errors (#2090)
Improvements:
* `query tx` now outputs signer address along with script hash (#2082)
* updated many of node's dependencies including BoltDB and LevelDB, there are
no radical changes there, mostly just some fixes improving stability (#2087)
* better error messages in some places (#2089, #2091)
Bugs fixed:
* `query tx` command wasn't providing correct results if used with C# RPC
node (#2082)
* watch-only node (with a key, but not elected to participating in consensus)
could panic on receiving a number of Commit messages (#2083)
* `getstateheight` RPC call produced result in different format from C# node
(#2090)
* JSON representation of multisignature signing context wasn't compatible
with C# implementation (#2092)
2021-07-21 13:57:08 +00:00
## 0.96.0 "Aspiration" (21 Jul 2021)
We're updating NeoGo to support RC4 changes, there are some incompatible ones
so this version can't be used with RC3 networks/chains (RC3 testnet is
still available, please use 0.95.4 for it). This release was checked for RC4
testnet compatibility and has the same state as C# for the first 5K blocks.
No significant protocol changes are expected now as we're moving to final N3
release, but we'll keep updating the node fixing bugs (if any), improving
performance and introducing NeoGo-specific features.
New features:
* "System.Runtime.GetNetwork" system call (#2043)
* ContentTypeNotSupported oracle return code and content type configuration
for Oracle service (#2042)
* block header have "Nonce" field again which is used for
"System.Runtime.GetRandom" system call (#2066)
* import from incremental chain dumps (#2061)
* configurable initial (from the genesis block) GAS supply (#2078)
* "query tx" CLI command to check for transaction status (#2070)
Behavior changes:
* verification GAS limits were increased (#2055)
* SQRT price reduced (#2071)
* binary deserialization is now limited to 2048 (MaxStackSize) items (#2071)
* notary deposit is stored now as serialized stack item (#2071)
* testnet and mainnet configuration updates (#2077, #2079, #2081)
Improvements:
* faster stack item binary and JSON serialization (#2053)
* faster Storage.Find operation (#2057)
* additional documentation for public network CNs (#2068)
* better code reuse for native contract's data serialization (#2071, see new
stackitem.Convertible interface)
* some types from state package renamed to remove "State" word (#2075)
* util.ArrayReverse helper moved to package of its own with additional
helpers (#2075)
Bugs fixed:
* nested structure cloning could lead to OOM (#2054, #2071)
* addresses were not accepted for witness accounts in RPC calls (#2072)
* POW instruction could take unknown amount of time to complete for big
parameters (#2060)
* oracle contract could accept invalid user data (#2071)
* EQUAL for deeply nested structures could never complete (#2071)
* arrays and structures were limited to 1024 items (#2071)
* oracle fallback transactions could try using outdated ValidUntilBlock value
(#2074)
* oracle node starting from genesis block tried to process all requests from
the chain instead of only working with current ones (#2074)
* some tests used non-unique/wrong temporary files and directories (#2076)
2021-07-09 08:33:44 +00:00
## 0.95.4 "Yatter" (09 Jul 2021)
Making a fully compliant Neo node is not easy, there are lots of minuscule
details that could be done in a little different way where both ways are
technically correct but at the same time just different which is enough to
create some interoperability problems. We've seen that with Legacy node
implementation where we were functionally complete with 0.74.0 release but
some fixes kept coming up to the most recent 0.78.3 version. It was a bit
easier with Legacy because we already had some years-long chains to test the
node against while N3 is a completely new territory.
So we'd like to thank all RC3 hackathon participants as well as all other
people playing with N3 RC3 network, your joint efforts gave enough material
to keep us busy fixing things for some time. The chain moving forward hit more
and more edge cases with every block and this is actually very helpful, we saw
a lot of things that could be improved in our node and we improved them.
Now we're releasing 0.95.4 with all of these fixes which is still
RC3-compatible and it's stateroot-compatible with C# implementation up to 281K
blocks. Please resynchronize to get identic testnet state. And most likely
that's the last RC3-compatible release as we're moving forward to the official
3.0.0 release of C# version NeoGo will be updated with appropriate changes
(some of which are not compatible with RC3).
New features:
* 'sysgas' parameter for invocation and transfer CLI commands to manually add
some system fee GAS (#2033)
Behavior changes:
* contract calls are now checked against specified permissions by the
compiler (#2025)
* stack items with nesting levels of 10 and more won't be serialized to JSON
for purposes like including them into RPC call reply (#2045)
Improvements:
* AddHeaders() with multiple headers added at the same time now works with
StateRootInHeader option (#2028)
* cached GAS per vote value leads to substantially improved block processing
speed (#2032)
* failed native NEP-17 transfers now still re-save the old value to the
2021-07-09 08:33:44 +00:00
storage making state dumps compatible with C# (#2034)
* refactored and renamed some stackitem package functions, added proper error
values in all cases (#2045)
* RPC calls (and application logs) can now return real serialization errors
if there are any (previously all errors were reported as "recursive
reference", #2045)
* better tests (#2039, #2050)
Bugs fixed:
* wrong onNEP11Payment name in contract configuration examples (#2023)
* missing permission sections in contract configuration examples (#2023)
* buffer stack item deserialization created byte string (#2026)
* Extra contract manifest field serialization was reworked to match C#
implementation more closely (#2021)
* wildcard permission in manifest allowed any methods, while it shouldn't
(#2030)
* group permission in manifest worked incorrectly for a set of groups (#2030)
* call flags were JSONized in incompatible way (#2041)
* MPT update left branch nodes with 1 child in some cases (#2034, #2047)
* JSON marshalling code for stack items detected item recursion in some cases
where no actual recursion was present (#2045)
* binary serialization code for stack items could overwrite old errors in
some cases (#2045)
* binary serialization code for stack items wasn't ensuring maximum size
limit during serialization which could lead to OOM (#2045)
* batched MPT update create excessive extension nodes for the last child of
branch node in some cases (#2047)
* in some cases "TCP accept error" was logged during node shutdown (#2050)
* contract updating code was updating caches before they should've been
updated (#2050)
* INVERT/ABS/NEGATE unary operations were not copying their arguments (#2052)
2021-06-17 12:57:30 +00:00
## 0.95.3 "Yuppification" (17 Jun 2021)
One more N3 RC3-compatible release that fixes testnet state difference at
block 151376. Please resynchronize to get proper testnet state.
Behavior changes:
* NEP2-related functions in `crypto/keys` package changed a bit to allow
Scrypt parameters overriding, standard parameters are available via
`NEP2ScryptParams` function (#2001)
Improvements:
* better unit test stability (#2011, #2001)
* updated neofs-api-go dependency (with support for TLS-enabled NeoFS node
connections, #2003)
* removed annoying token matching warning (#2018)
Bugs fixed:
* state mismatch resulting from different committee candidate sorting (#2017)
2021-06-10 19:52:48 +00:00
## 0.95.2 "Echolocation" (10 Jun 2021)
This is another N3 RC3-compatible release and it's better in its RC3
compatiblity than the previous one because we've fixed some state mismatches
wrt C# implementation that were found on testnet. It is confirmed to have the
same state up to 126K height (which is current), but to get proper state you
need to resynchronize your node from the genesis.
New features:
* RPC notification subsystem was extended to support notary pool events, so
clients can now react on request additions (#1984)
* compiler now checks notification event name length to fit into the limit
(#1989)
* compiler now also checks for runtime.Notify() calls from Verify method
(which won't work anyway, #1995)
Improvements:
* codegeneration improvements removing some unnecessary store/loads and type
conversions (#1881, #1879)
* additional MPT tests added ensuring compatibility with C# implementation
(#1993)
* additional consistency check added to prevent node running with native
contracts differing from the ones saved in DB (#2010)
Bugs fixed:
* `calculatenetworkfee` RPC result used format different from C# node (#1998)
* `CALLT` opcode was missing any price leading to wrong GAS calculations and
different state wrt C# node (#2004)
* '+' character was emitted directly by `jsonSerialize` method which is fine
wrt JSON itself, but differs from C# node behavior leading to node state
difference (#2006)
* NEO self-transfers were not checking the amount transferred (they didn't
change balance, but they succeeded) leading to state difference wrt C#
implementation (#2007)
2021-05-31 08:56:14 +00:00
## 0.95.1 "Shiftiness" (31 May 2021)
Bringing NeoGo up to date with N3 RC3 changes this release also improves
compiler and CLI a bit.
This release is mostly compatible with 0.95.0, but you need to resynchronize
your chains to have proper stateroot data and to make new methods available to
contracts. At the same time there won't be long-term support provided for it,
just as with all previous previews and RC.
New features:
* base58CheckEncode/base58CheckDecode methods in StdLib native contract
(#1977, #1979)
* getAccountState method in NeoToken native contract (#1978, #1986)
* custom contracts and groups can now be specified for witness scopes in
invocations from CLI (#1973)
Improvements:
* local variable handling was refactored in the compiler, removing some
duplicate code and improving robustness (#1921)
* CLI help now describes how "unvote" can be done (#1985)
Bugs fixed:
* boolean parameters to function invocations via RPC were not processed
correctly (#1976)
* VM CLI used too restrictive default call flags for loaded scripts (#1981)
* IPv6 check in NNS contract was out of date wrt C# implementation (#1969)
2021-05-17 20:33:16 +00:00
## 0.95.0 "Sharpness" (17 May 2021)
This version mostly implements N3 RC2 protocol changes (and is fully
RC2-compatible), but also brings NEP-11 CLI support and small improvements for
2021-05-17 20:33:16 +00:00
node operators.
Please note that this release is incompatible with 0.94.1 and there won't be

## 0.94.1 "Channelization" (08 Apr 2021)
This is the second and much improved N3 RC1-compatible release. We've mostly
focused on documentation and examples with this release, so there is a number
of updates in this area including oracle contract example and NEP-11 NFT
contract example. At the same time proper testnet network revealed some
implementation inconsistencies between NeoGo and C# especially in oracle and
state validation services, so there are fixes for them also.
Protocol-wise this release is compatible with 0.94.0, but MPT structures have
changed and there are known state change differences for N3 RC1 testnet, so
you need to do full node resynchronization on update from 0.94.0. Some SDK
APIs have changed also improving developer experience, but they may affect
your code. We don't plan to make more of RC1-compatible releases (the protocol
has slightly changed already since the release).
New features:
* RPC (*Client).GetDesignatedByRole method to easily get node lists from
RoleManagement contract (#1855)
* `calculatenetworkfee` RPC method support (#1858)
* RPC client now has additional methods for NEP-11 contracts and specifically
for NNS native contract (#1857)
* contract deployment from multisig addresses (#1886)
Behavior changes:
* node roles for RoleManagement contract were moved into separate package
(#1855)
* NotaryVerificationPrice constant was moved into package of its own (#1855)
* testnet configuration now has proper N3 RC1 testnet magic (#1856)
* crypto.Verifiable interface was removed, now any hash.Hashable thing can be
verified (and signed, #1859)
* Network field was dropped from transaction.Transaction, block.Header,
payload.Extensible, state.MPTRoot, payload.P2PNotaryRequest and
network.Message, it was needed for proper hash calculations before recent
protocol changes (even though this field is not a part of serialized
representation of any of these elements), but now it's only used to
sign/verify data and doesn't affect hashing which allowed to simplify
interface here (#1859)
* RPC server now returns `StateRootInHeader` option in its `getversion`
request answers if it's used by the network (#1862)
* NNS record types were moved to separate package (#1857)
* MaxStorageKeyLen and MaxStorageValueLen constants were moved to storage
package from core (#1871)
* oracle service now accepts complete URL for other nodes RPC services (#1877)
Improvements:
* RPC (*Client).AddNetworkFee method is now more informative in some error
case (#1852)
* proper NEP-17 support in unit test contract (#1852)
* documentation updates for examples and services (#1854, #1890)
* syscall number is now printed for failed syscalls (#1874)
* better logging (#1883, #1889)
* Oracle native contract interop documentation extended (#1884)
* Oracle native contract interop extended with return codes and constants (#1884)
* oracle smart contract example (#1884)
* NEP-11 NFT smart contract example (#1891)
Bugs fixed:
* node could simultaneously try to connect to the same peer multiple times in
some cases (#1861)
* uniqueness is enforced now for other node addresses provided by peers (#1861)
* stateroot message hash wasn't calculated the same way as in C# (#1859)
* state validation service P2P messages were not signed properly (#1859)
* state.MPTRoot structure JSON representation was different from C# one (#1859)
* stateroot messages generated by state validation service were not setting
proper message category (#1866)
* block persistence caches were flushed too early by MPT-managing code (#1866)
* validated stateroot data overwrote local one which lead to node not
functioning after restart if states were different (#1866)
* peers delivering P2P message with validated stateroot differing from local
one were disconnected (#1866)
* state dump comparing script was using old Ledger native contract ID (#1869)
* candidate registration check was made in different way from C# in native
NEO contract leading to different execution results for erroneous voting
transactions (#1869)
* state change dumps were different from C# node for erroneous voting
transactions even though contract's state was the same (#1869)
* arguments were not completely removed from stack in erroneous
Runtime.Notify calls leading to different stack state with C#
implementation (#1874)
* in case contract failed execution with THROW the node didn't print the
message from the contract properly (#1874)
* `getproof` RPC call output was not strictly compliant with C#
implementation (#1871)
* MPT node serialization and some constants were out of date wrt C#
implementation (#1871)
* native NEP-17 contracts could use stale balance data in some cases (#1876)
* state validation service could lock the system during shutdown, preventing
proper node exit (#1877)
* state validation and oracle services were started before node reaching full
synchronization which could lead to excessive useless traffic (#1877)
* some native contract calls in function arguments could be miscompiled
(#1880)
* oracle service was accepting http URLs instead of https (#1883)
* neofs URIs were subject to host validation in oracle service even though
there is no host there (#1883)
* neofs URI scheme was differing from C# implementation (#1883)
* no default value was used for NeoFS request timeout if it's not specified
in the configuration (#1883)
* oracle response code was marshalled as integer into JSON (#1884)
* MPT could grow in memory unbounded (#1885)
* Storage.Find results could differ from C# in some cases (#1888)

## 0.94.0 "Tsessebe" (19 Mar 2021)
N3 RC1-compatible release is here. We've implemented all Neo protocol changes
(including state validation service and NeoFS support for oracles) and are
ready for testnet launch now, so that you could play with new native
contracts, VM instructions and other goodies RC1 brings with it. Some
usability improvements and documentation updates also went into this release
as well as a number of fixes stabilizing Notary subsystem (which is
NeoGo-specific protocol extension).
Please note that this release is incompatible with 0.93.0. We do plan to make
an update soon (with more examples and documentation), but there won't be
long-term support provided, Neo N3 is still on its way to mainnet (although
RC1 and testnet are major milestones on this route).

## 0.93.0 "Hyperproduction" (12 Feb 2021)
This is a 3.0.0-preview5 compatible release with important protocol changes,
improved smart contract interop interface for native contracts (it's much
easier now to use them) and complete Notary subsystem which is a NeoGo
experimental protocol extension for P2P signature collection.
Please note that this release is incompatible with 0.92.0 and there are no
plans for long-term support of it, Neo 3 is still changing and improving.
The release is tested with preview5 testnet data (and one of testnet CNs is
already a neo-go node) up to 48K blocks and it has exactly the same storage
data except for the Ledger contract that technically can differ between nodes
(it's not a part of state proper), and in case of neo-go it's intentionally
different (but this doesn't affect contract's functionality and state roots
compatibility).

## 0.92.0 "Fermentation" (28 Dec 2020)
NeoGo project is closing year 2020 with 3.0.0-preview4 compatible release that
also has much improved performance, a lot of updates to compiler and SDK and
some experimental protocol extensions. This release also is the most tested
release of NeoGo ever, we've reached 83% code coverage (Neo 2.x only has
66%).
Please note that this release is incompatible with 0.91.0 and there are no
plans for long-term support of it, Neo 3 is still changing and improving.
Protocol-wise this release is tested with preview4 testnet (including working
in consensus with C# nodes) and it is compatible with it even though there are
some known storage change mismatches between NeoGo and C# (functionally the
contents is the same, this mismatch is caused by JSON handling differences and
needs to be addressed at the protocol level).

## 0.91.0 "Ululation" (18 August 2020)
We've updated NeoGo for 3.0.0-preview3 compatibility implementing all the
appropriate protocol changes as well as improving NeoGo-specific
components. This release brings with it significant changes for smart
contracts, both in terms of Neo protocol changes (no more there is a single
entry point! execution environment has also changed in lots of ways) and Go
smart contract compiler updates and fixes.
Please note that this release is incompatible with 0.90.0 and there will be no
long-term support provided for it, Neo 3 is still changing and
improving. If you have any wallets used with 0.90.0 release you'll need to
regenerate them from private keys because of changes to verification scripts
that also changed hashes and addresses.
But nonetheless it is tested to be compatible with preview3 testnet for up to
68K of blocks in terms of storage changes, with neo-debugger for debug data
produced by the compiler and with consensus process for heterogeneous setups
(like 2 neo-go CNs with 2 C# CNs).
New features:
* secp256k1 signature checks added to interop functions
(Neo.Crypto.VerifyWithECDsaSecp256k1 and
Neo.Crypto.CheckMultisigWithECDsaSecp256k1 syscalls,
crypto.ECDsaSecp256k1Verify and crypto.ECDSASecp256k1CheckMultisig interop
functions, #918)
* RIPEMD160 hash added to interop functions (Neo.Crypto.RIPEMD160 syscall,
crypto.RIPEMD160 interop function, #918, #1193)
* "NotFound" P2P message (#1135, #1333)
* base64 encoding/decoding interop functions (binary.Base64Encode and
binary.Base64Decode, #1187)
* new contract.GetCallFlags interop (System.Contract.GetCallFlags syscall)
implemented (#1187)
* it is possible now to create iterators and enumerators over primitive VM
types in smart contracts (#1218)
* runtime.Platform interop (System.Runtime.Platform syscall) is now available
to smart contracts in Go (#1218)
* storage.PutEx interop (System.Storage.PutEx syscall) is now available to
smart contracts in Go (#1221)
* exceptions support in VM (#885)
* CLI conversion utility functions for addresses/hashes/etc (#1207, #1258)
* multitransfer transactions now can be generated with RPC client or CLI
(#940, #1260)
* System.Callback.* syscalls for callback creation and execution (callback.*
interop functions, #1197)
* MPT implementation was added (#1235)
* Policy native contract now also contains MaxBlockSystemFee setting (#1195)
* getting blocks by indexes via P2P is now supported (#1192)
* limited pointer support was added to the compiler (#1247)
* voting support in CLI (#1206, #1286)
Behavior changes:
* crypto.ECDsaVerify interop function was renamed to
crypto.ECDsaSecp256r1Verify now that we have support for secp256k1 curve
(#918)
* many RPC requests/responses changed names used for data fields (#1169)
* runtime.Notify interop function now requires a mandatory UTF8 name
parameter (#1052) and this name can be used to filter notifications (#1266)
* sendrawtransaction and submitblock RPC calls now return a hash instead of
boolean value in case of success (#1216)
* System.Runtime.Log syscall now only accepts valid UTF8 strings no longer
than 1024 bytes (#1218)
* System.Storage.Put syscall now limits keys to 64 bytes and values to 1024
bytes (#1221)
* PUSHA instruction now works with relative code offset (#1226)
* EQUAL instruction no longer does type conversions, so that values of
different types are always unequal (#1225)
* verification scripts now can't use more than 0.5 GAS (#1202)
* contracts no longer have single entry point, rather they export a set of
methods with specific offsets. Go smart contract compiler has been changed
accordingly to add all exported (as in Go) methods to the manifest
(but with the first letter being lowercased to match NEP-5 expections,
#1228). Please also refer to examples changes to better see how it affects
contracts, manifests and configuration files (#1296)
* native contracts are now called via Neo.Native.Call syscall (#1191)

* VM's map keys and contract methods now can only contain valid UTF-8 strings
(#1198)

smartcontract.ContractParameters intermediate) which is now used for
invoke* RPC calls and application execution logs (#1242, #1317)
* invoking Policy native contracts now requires AllowsStates (to get
settings) or AllowModifyStates (to change setting) flags (#1254)
* Transaction now has Signers field unifying Sender (the first Signer) and
Cosigners, a Signer can have FeeOnly or any other regular witness scope
(#1184)
* verification scripts no longer have access to blockchain's state (#1277)
* governance scheme was changed to delegated committee-based one. The number
of validators is now specified with ValidatorsCount configuration option,
standby validators are no longer being registered by default (#867, #1300)
* Go 1.13+ is now required to build neo-go (#1281)
* public contract methods now always return some value and this is being
checked by the VM (#1196, #1331, #1332)
* runtime interop package now exports triggers as proper constants rather
than functions (#1299)
* RPC client no longer has SetWIF/WIF methods that didn't do anything useful
anyway (#1328)
Improvements:
* Neo.Crypto.CheckMultisigWithECDsaSecp256r1 syscall is now available via
crypto.ECDSASecp256r1CheckMultisig interop function (#1175)
* System.Contract.IsStandard syscall now also checks script's container (#1187)

* smartcontract package now has CreateDefaultMultiSigRedeemScript that should
be used for BFT-compliant "m out of n" multisignature script generation
(#1300)
* validators are always sorted now (standby validators were not previously,
#1300)
* debug information now contains all file names (#1295)
* compiler now accepts directory to compile a package, only one file could be
passed previously (#1295)
* some old no longer used functions and structures were removed (#1303)
* contract inspection output was improved for new Neo 3 VM instructions (#1231)
* ping P2P message handling was changed to trigger block requests (#1326)
Bugs fixed:
* inability to transfer NEO/GAS from deployed contract's address (#1180)
* System.Blockchain.GetTransactionFromBlock syscall didn't pick all of its
arguments from the stack in some error cases (#1187)
* System.Contract.CallEx syscall didn't properly check call flags (#1187)
* System.Blockchain.GetContract and System.Contract.Create syscalls returned
an interop interface instead of plain well-defined structure (#1187)
* System.Contract.Update syscall's manifest checks were improved, return
value was fixed (#1187)
* getnep5balances and getnep5transfers RPC calls now support addresses in
their parameters (#1188)

## 0.90.0 "Tantalization" (14 July 2020)
The first Neo 3 compatible release of neo-go! We've targeted to make it
compatible with preview2 release of Neo 3, so it only contains features
available there, but at the same time this makes the node more useful until we
have some more up to date reference version. It's a completely different
network, so almost everything has changed and it's hard to describe it with
the same level of details we usually do (but we'll provide them for subsequent
releases where the changeset is going to be lower in size). Please note that
this is a preview-level release and there won't be long-term support provided
for it, Neo 3 is evolving and the next release won't be compatible with this
one.
Main Neo 3 features in this release:
* no UTXO
* native contracts
* new VM
* scoped witnesses for transaction
* updated interop/syscalls set
* contract manifests
* more efficient P2P protocol
Things that have also changed:
* transaction format
* block format
* address format
* wallets
* RPC protocol
* notification subsystem
* executable format output for compiler
Compatibility level of this neo-go release:
* identical storage changes compared to C# node for 378K blocks of preview2
testnet
* debugging info produced is compatible with preview2-compatible neo-debugger
* running consensus nodes in heterogeneous setup is possible (2 neo-go CNs
with 2 C# CNs, for example)
Changes specific to neo-go:
* some CLI parameters like wallet path or RPC endpoint URL have been unified
across all commands and thus have changed in some of them (refer to CLI
help for details)
* as an extension we support post-preview2 cosigners parameter for
invokefunction RPC calls (see neo-project/neo-modules#260)
* Go compiler now supports comparisons with nil properly
* we no longer provide bootstrapping 6k block dump for private networks, you
have 30000000 GAS right in the genesis block and it's not hard to make use
of it (see
[neo-go-sc-wrkshp](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go-sc-wrkshp) for an
example of how to use it)
* we have a conversion tool for your old Neo 2 wallets (`wallet convert`
command), so you can reuse keys on Neo 3 networks
* util.Equals interop function may not function the way you expect it to due
to Neo VM changes, it still is an EQUAL opcode though. This interop may be
removed in the future.
## Older versions
Please refer to the [master-2.x branch
CHANGELOG](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/tree/master-2.x/CHANGELOG.md)
for versions prior to 0.90.0 (that are Neo 2 compatible, unlike 0.90.0+ that
are Neo 3 compatible).
