# Changelog This document outlines major changes between releases. ## 0.106.2 "Keratinization" (13 Jun 2024) A 3.7.5-compatible version introducing new Domovoi hardfork that brings two fixes to the protocol: using executing contract state to check contract call permissions (included into this NeoGo release) and proper VM items refcounting for System.Runtime.GetNotifications handler (not included into this NeoGo release because we've never had this bug). Since the second bug is C#-specific and does not lead to the state differences in mainnet/testnet, we've decided not to break the NeoGo node to follow pre-Domovoi C# node implementation. Thus, differences in application logs for several T5 transactions before Domovoi hardfork are expected and won't be fixed. Please, ensure your node configuration includes the Domovoi hardfork. No DB resynchronisation is required. New features: * Domovoi hardfork scheduled for 5570000 block of mainnet and 4144000 block of T5 testnet (#3476, #3473, #3486, #3487) Behavior changes: * hide node logs timestamp if the node is running not in TTY (#3468) * distinguish log level for various node peer disconnection reasons (#3469) Improvements: * ensure NeoFS nodes are configured when processing NeoFS oracle requests (#3455) * NeoFS SDK dependency upgrade (#3483) * ensure System.Runtime.GetNotifications handler can't break the MaxStackSize constraint before and after Domovoi hardfork (#3485) Bugs fixed: * deployed contract script is included into wallet's account (#3470) * updated contract state is used to verify contract call permissions before the Domovoi hardfork (#3473) ## 0.106.1 "Implication" (3 Jun 2024) An urgent release that fixes mainnet state difference at block 5462944 which halts blocks processing starting from the height 5468658. This release requires full node DB resynchronization for mainnet nodes. T5 testnet DB state is not affected by this bug (at least up to the current 4087361 height). Thus, DB resynchronisation may be skipped for testnet nodes. No configuration changes implied. Bugs fixed: * mainnet state difference at block 5462944 caused by runtime notification permissions check against the updated contract state instead of executing state (#3472) * unused neofs-contract dependency in the node modules (#3458) ## 0.106.0 "Zephyranthes" (21 May 2024) We're rolling out a large set of updates including all of Neo 3.7.4 protocol changes: native contracts update functionality and extended native contract APIs united under the upcoming Cockatrice hardfork. For smart contract developers an ability to generate smart contract bindings with dynamic hash is supported as well as a number of useful extensions for `unwrap` package, compatible NNS smart contract RPC binding and a lot of other handy enhancements. This release also includes a couple of severe regression bug fixes affecting the node state. As a bonus of fixing a wide range of failing tests, we've refactored the node services start and shutdown procedures to make it more stable. This version drops support for Go 1.19 and requires 1.20+ to build (with Go 1.22 supported). Notice that this release requires full node resynchronization for both mainnet and testnet nodes. Please pay a special attention to the Cockatrice hardfork schedule and check your configurations. It should be configured for 3967000 of T5 testnet and 5450000 of mainnet. To ensure compatibility your node must be configured appropriately. New features: * native contracts update functionality bound to hardforks (#3402, #3444) * Cockatrice hardfork planned for 5450000 block of mainnet and 3967000 block of T5 testnet (#3402, #3448, #3402, #3446) * `CommitteeChanged` events are emitted by NeoToken native contract starting from Cockatrice hardfork (#3351, #3448) * `getCommitteeAddress` method of NeoToken native contract is available starting from Cockatrice hardfork (#3362, #3402) * `keccak256` method of CryptoLib native contract is available starting from Cockatrice hardfork (#3301, #3402) * dynamic contract hash support for smart contract bindings (#3405) * support `StringCompressed` API for `crypto.PublicKey` (#3408) * support `Copy` API for `transaction.Transaction` and `payload.P2PNotaryRequest` (#3407) * extend `verifyWithECDsa` method of native CryptoLib contract with Keccak256 hasher starting from Cockatrice and add an example of custom Koblitz-based and Keccak256-based transaction witness verification (#3425) * autogenerated `nativehashes` package (#3402, #3431) * introduce `unwrap.Exception` type for better RPC invocation result exceptions detection (#3438) Behavior changes: * Neo Name Service smart contract RPC binding follows the official N3 implementation (#3291) * clear LastGasPerVote NeoToken account info on unvoting (#3349) * return fault exception (if any) in `unwrap` RPC client helpers (#3356) * move P2PNotary designation role out of P2PSigExtensions (#3452) Improvements: * support `smartcontract.Convertible` interface as RPC Actor and Invoker call parameters (#3297) * allow to import multisignature account into wallet without WIF and password specified (#3293) * upgrade go-ordered-json dependency to avoid possible node state incompatibility issues caused by smart contract manifest marshalling (#3331, #3333) * Go 1.22 support, bump minimum required Go version up to Go 1.20 (#3336) * a number of dependent libraries are updated to the fresh versions (#3338, #3418) * improve error message of `System.Crypto.CheckMultisig` interop API handler (#3374) * upgrade dBFT library to v0.2.0 (#3371, #3413) * increase `ValidUntilBlock` value for transactions generated by CLI commands (#3376) * documentation updates (#3375, #3382) * let default Notary Actor options be customizable (#3394) * extend `getversion` RPC response with RPC server settings (#3386) * make errors related to wallet opening more detailed (#3389) * adjust error messages of `setExecFeeFactor` and `setStoragePrice` methods of native PolicyContract (#3406) * make neotest chain constructor options customizable (#3404) * format improvements for CLI commands description (#3410) * make state dumps comparator script more verbose (#3411) * refactor storage `Get` implementation for BoltDB (#3441) * add `updatecounter` field to the resulting items of `getnativecontracts` RPC API call (#3439) Bugs fixed: * node panic on committee missing from node configuration (#3294) * autogenerated RPC bindings do not follow Go naming convention (#3299) * a batch of failing tests is fixed (#3306, #3313, #3321, #3332, #3337, #3335, #3344, #3340, #3350, #3355, #3364, #3368, #3377, #3393, #3397, #3392, #3398, #3400) * outdated minimum required Go version of boilerplate contract generated by `neo-go contract init` (#3318) * outdated address used as an example in RPC client documentation (#3327) * ungraceful node services shutdown procedure (#3307) * logging data race on node services shutdown (#3307) * Map parameter support is missing from RPC server handlers (#3329) * smart contract storage iterator prefix wasn't copied while iterating over values (#3336) * RPC error with -511 code (insufficient funds) returned on `sendrawtransaction` RPC request should cover multiple cases of sender's insufficient funds (#3360, #3361) * reentrancy possibility for Notary deposit withdrawal (#3357) * null `findstorage` RPC response in case of missing storage items (#3385) * uninitialized named return variables in compiler (#3401) * wrong debug sequence points after `JUMP*` instructions shortening by compiler (#3412) * corrupted genesis block record and application log caused by improper Conflicts attribute processing (#3437) * false positive DB-based blocked accounts detection in native PolicyContract leaded to invalid committee computations and reward distribution made by NeoToken (#3443) ## 0.105.1 "Enumeration" (12 Jan 2024) This is another v3.6.2-compatible release that fixes mainnet state difference at block 4688591. It is confirmed to have the same state up to 4723K height (which is current), but to get proper mainnet state you need to resynchronize your node from the genesis. T5 testnet state is not affected (at least up to the current 3323K height), thus DB resynchronisation may be skipped for testnet nodes. Improvements: * better network services logging (#3287, #3290) Bugs fixed: * state difference at block 4688591 of N3 mainnet caused by difference at characters escaping during manifest's `Extra` field JSON serialisation (#3286) ## 0.105.0 "Designation" (29 Dec 2023) We're rolling out an update for NeoGo nodes that contains a number of user-facing API improvements for RPC web-socket notification subsystem, CLI utility, wallet related packages and not only. Try out our new `--await` CLI option for those commands that relay transactions to the network to automatically wait for the on-chain transaction execution result. Subscribe for new block headers with extended RPC notification subsystem interface. Use contract-based accounts provided by `wallet` package and `neotest` framework to sign transactions. These and a set of other improvements are available to our users while this release is staying compatible with 3.6.2 version of C# node. This version also delivers a bug fix for consensus node panic caused by improper native NeoToken cache initialisation. Moreover, there's a set of RPC server side improvements, thus, we recommend to upgrade both consensus and RPC nodes to provide more stable consensus node functioning and extended user APIs functionality. No database resynchronisation is needed. New features: * block headers RPC web-socket subscription (#3252) * --await option to synchronize on transaction execution for CLI commands (#3265) * partial session-based RPC iterator unwrapping (#3274) * contract-based transaction signers in neotest framework (#3233) * AMD64 release binaries for macOS (#3251) * complex contract signature schemes in wallet.Account (#3256) Behavior changes: * basic RPC subscription filter validity checks are implemented on both RPC client and RPC server sides (#3258) * filter of notary request event RPC subscription is extended with `type` field (#3236) * if available, use block headers RPC web-socket subscription for transaction awaiting via `waiter` package API (#3283) Improvements: * add smart contract storage limits to interop utilities (#3232) * extend ZKP examples documentation with additional links to PoT ceremony response files (#3234) * support Go types in VM emitter API (#3237) * documentation update (#3239, #3242, #3246) * BoltDB (go.etcd.io/bbolt) dependency upgrade (#3250) * CLI code refactoring (#2682) * extend wallet package to work with byte slice based wallets (#3255) * export RPC client side transaction awaiting functionality via `waiter` package (#3265, #3283) Bugs fixed: * remove stale `updatehistory` section of `getnativecontracts` RPC response (#3240) * immediately check RPC client initialisation on access to blocks RPC subscription API (#3257, #3261) * fix CN panic caused by unexpected call to native NeoToken cache (#3253) * make "automatically generated" warning of all automatically generated files follow the standard (#3280) ## 0.104.0 "Globalization" (27 Nov 2023) We're updating NeoGo to push out a number of useful updates and protocol extensions as well as make it compatible with 3.6.2 version of C# node. The most invasive behaviour changes are VM-level protocol constraints imposed on the size of serialized stackitems and `NativeActivation` node setting removal. This version also delivers a set of smaller useful changes in the interoperability layer and native contract functionality including System.Runtime.CurrentSigners interop, `strLen` StdLib method and PolicyContract-based transaction attributes pricing as far as a user-facing `canceltx` CLI command and community-requested `--relative-path` CLI option. Node operators must resynchronize their nodes to get fully compatible state (which is confirmed to be compatible with 3.6.2 for current mainnet up to block 4483627 and T5 testnet up to block 3078762). Please, ensure your node configuration doesn't contain `NativeActivations` protocol configuration section as this logic is hidden under Hardforks starting from the current release. New features: * System.Runtime.CurrentSigners interop allowing to get signers of the currently loaded transaction (#3058) * `strLen` method to native StdLib contract (#3208) * transaction attributes pricing regulation via native PolicyContract (#3155) * `canceltx` CLI command as an alternative to unsupported `canceltransaction` RPC request (#3223, #3214) Behaviour changes: * reduce maximum allowed stackitem.Item size (#3185) * restrict maximum allowed NEF file size and prohibit large contracts deployment (#3186) * bind `NativeActivations` node setting to the `Hardforks` setting (#3212) * introduce serialization limit to stackitem.Item and fail large contracts deploy wrt this setting (#3218) * add customizable `MaxRequestBodyBytes` and `MaxRequestHeaderBytes` RPC server configuration setting (#3221) Improvements: * provide more detailed error on attempt to read non-existent service wallet provided via node configuration file (#3210) * optimize emit of imported code for autogenerated RPC bindings (#3215) * documentation update (#3203, #3222) * add `--relative-path` CLI flag allowing to override configuration-specific relative paths (#3206) * update code owners (#3216, @fyrchik will live in our hearts forever) Bugs fixed: * unify messages of RPC errors according to the RPC errors NEP (#3199) * limit maximum allowed number ad depth of transaction signers and witnesses per RPC request that accept transaction (#3207, #3221) * forbid unknown fields usage in the node configuration file (#3209) * enable hardfork-dependant code starting exactly from the block height specified in the node configuration (#3211) * require Notary native deposit to be valid for at least one subsequent block after deposit transaction acceptance (#3211) * deduplicate unnamed event types for autogenerated RPC bindings and make the binding generation order strictly defined and stable (#3215, #3220) * do not panic on trying to compile an import cycle (#3215) * state difference at block 3002333 of T5 testnet caused by difference at characters escaping during manifest's `Extra` field JSON serialisation (#3225) * properly start node services that depend on native RoleManagement contract data with genesis `Roles` protocol configuration setting specified (#3229) ## 0.103.1 "Verification" (09 Nov 2023) An urgent 3.6.0-compatible version that contains a hotfix for the bug that prevents node from starting from the existing database every new dBFT epoch. Also, the release includes a bugfix that fails any non-zero NEO and GAS roundtrips from accounts with zero balance. Although the DB format and storage states were not affected by this release, the node resynchronization is still recommended for those who want to keep correct application logs. Resynchronization can be skipped if you're ok with wrong application logs for some transactions (e.g. CN doesn't care, and RPC node cares a lot). Bugs fixed: * properly initialize cache of native NeoToken contract every new dBFT epoch (#3187) * forbid non-zero NEO and GAS roundtrips from accounts with zero balance (#3191) ## 0.103.0 "Backwardation" (20 Oct 2023) A minor 3.6.0-compatible version of NeoGo with new salty ZKP-related functionality, a large batch of deprecated APIs removal and an experimental genesis block extension. Build Groth-16 circuits, generate proofs and deploy verification contracts easily with the new end-to-end ZKP example and `zkpbinding` NeoGo API. Setup node roles via the node configuration starting from the genesis block without any painful multisignature transaction forming and invoke any custom script in the genesis-level transaction with the new `Genesis` protocol configuration extension. And don't forget to move from deprecated RPC client APIs, as a lot of them have been removed. New node configuration format is finally adapted and the deprecated configuration sections are permanently removed according to the schedule. Pay attention to the `SecondsPerBlock` protocol configuration section that was replaced by `TimePerBlock`, a set of node and services address- and port- related configuration section that were replaced by the new `Addresses` format, direct `UnlockWallet` consensus configuration that was replaced by a separate `Consensus` section and a set of node-specific protocol configurations that were moved under a separate `P2P` section. This release fixes a set of bugs including a vulnerability introduced by changes in the transaction conflicts storage scheme implemented in #3061 (a part of 0.102.0 release). With the patch presented, it's impossible to uncontrollably pollute the storage with malicious conflicting records. This version is fully compatible with C# node 3.6.0. However, it requires complete resynchronization on upgrade due to the database storage scheme changes. New features: * API for Groth-16 verification contracts autogeneration and end-to-end example for proving and verifying statements on NeoGo (#3043, #3146) * introduce genesis protocol extensions: default node roles designation and genesis transactions (#3168) Behaviour changes: * a lot of deprecated functionality is dropped: RPC client old APIs, shared Notifications channel of WebSocket client, SecondsPerBlock protocol configuration, old way of services and node address and port configuration, old P2P related application settings configuration, direct UnlockWallet consensus configuration, direct node-specific protocol configuration (#3150) * database scheme is changed by new way of storing the transaction conflicting records (#3138) Improvements: * NeoFS SDK dependency upgrade (#3129) * gnark and gnark-crypto dependencies upgrade (#3145, #3162, #3163) * introduce timeout restriction for BoltDB opening (#3148) * bump code coverage uploading action version (#3153) * Go 1.21 support, bump minimum required Go version up to Go 1.19 (#3157) * upgrade golang.org/x/net version (#3158) * add protocol hardforks configuration to the `getversion` RPC response (#3160) * format autogenerated smart contract bindings with accordance to standard `go fmt` rules (#3164) * add "DO NOT EDIT" warning to the autogenerated smart contract bindings (#3167) Bugs fixed: * avoid race between `getnextblockvalidators` RPC call handler and blockchain's block handler routine, significantly refactor native validators caching scheme (#3110) * do not panic on failed NeoFS oracle requests (#3129) * enable Notary subsystem in NeoFS mainnet configuration (#3136) * reorganize storage scheme for transaction conflicting records to avoid possible attack (#3138) * properly deserialize wildcard trusts field of smart contract manifest (#3140) * use more strict GAS limit for transaction network fee calculation via RPC call (#3141) * avoid WebSocket client request blocking (#3142) * properly emit big uint64 constants during smart contract compilation (#3147) * avoid race access to the node version by tests (#3149) * make FindStorage* RPC client APIs to be always compatible with NeoC# RPC server (#3166) ## 0.102.0 "Aberration" (06 Sep 2023) Long-awaited feature-packed 3.6.0-compatible version of NeoGo with all the appropriate protocol updates and a set of tasty improvements and bug fixes. Groth16 ZKP proof checks are there for contract developers as well as new opcodes. A huge number of improvements went into the RPC server and client, new RPCs, improved contract binding generator and standardized extended error codes make developing dApps much easier. Users of smart contract utilities and RPC-related Prometheus metrics are advised to take a look at the deprecated APIs removal schedule (ROADMAP.md). This version was delayed for quite some time (waiting for 3.6), so the next minor release (0.103.0) will remove a substantial amount of compatibility code. It's expected to be released in November with 3.6 protocol compatibility (3.7 cycle is likely to require more time). This is also the first version that drops support for Go 1.17 and requires 1.18+ to build (with Go 1.20 supported). Using generics in smart contracts is not supported yet, but some elements of this support can be implemented in future versions. Mainnet and testnet node operators, please pay attention to the Basilisk hardfork schedule and check your configurations. It will happen at block 2680000 for T5 testnet and 4120000 for mainnet. To ensure compatibility your node must be configured appropriately. This version requires DB resynchronization, so schedule your updates accordingly. New features: * ZKP proof checking support via CryptoLib native contract (operations with BLS12-381 curve points) (#2940, #3042) * System.Storage.Find interop now support "Backwards" flag to iterate in the opposite direction (#2952) * `util ops` CLI utility that pretty-prints VM script (#2965) * `notarypool_unsorted_tx` Prometheus metric for notary-enabled nodes (#2696) * `CloseNotificationChannelIfFull` WSClient option allowing the client to close notification channel on overflow (#2988) * autogenerated RPC bindings for contract events and conversion code from stackitem.Item to structure (#3008, #3035, #3036, #3087) * event type inference from contract code (#3008) * dynamic contract hashes support for RPC bindings (#3012) * "Basilisk" protocol hardfork support (#3056, #3080, #3086, #3104) * ABORTMSG and ASSERTMSG VM opcodes (#3066) * standardized RPC error codes (#3063) * `findstorage` and `findstoragehistoric` RPC support (#3099) * `getstoragehistoric` RPC support (#3099) * `getrawnotarypool` and `getrawnotarytransaction` RPC (#3098) Behaviour changes: * deprecated `FromAddress` smart contract helper is dropped from the `util` interop package (#2941) * a number of deprecated RPC-related Prometheus counters are permanently removed (#2941) * NEP-2 account label will be asked on account import via CLI (#2889) * hashes and states of native contracts are now accessible via native ContractManagement API (#2991) * `serv_node_version` gauge Prometheus metric is marked as deprecated and replaced by `neogo_version` and `server_id` (#3009) * strict contract script check is back with Basilisk hardfork, it was previously removed in 0.101.3 for 3.5 protocol compatibility (#3056) * JSON number deserialization (via StdLib.jsonDeserialize) changes with Basilisk hardfork allowing for more precision and handling more corner cases (#3080) * notification type errors are treated as fatal after Basilisk hardfork, before it they're just logged (#3086) * NULL and non-UTF8 items are not allowed for String event types (#3086) * `Conflicts` and `NotValidBefore` transaction attributes are no longer NeoGo extensions, they can be used on regular networks (#2962) Improvements: * documentation and example improvements (#2945, #2972, #2979, #3020, #3084, #3099, #3114, #3116, #3119, #3121) * `getproof` and `verifyproof` RPC API support in RPC client (#2942) * Go 1.20 support, bump minimum required Go version up to Go 1.18 (#2908) * faster state reset process (#2819) * optimized voting data storage scheme for NEO contract (#2892, #2893) * NeoFS SDK dependency upgrades (#2995, #3032) * special exported error returned in case of WSClient disconnection (#3000) * automatic guessing of contract and manifest filenames for `contract compile` CLI command and `loadnef` VM CLI command (#3013) * support for pushing stackitem.Convertible objects via VM script emitter (#3016) * economic adjustment for ranking of transactions with `Conflicts` attribute (#3031) * `google.golang.org/grpc` dependency upgrade fixing high severity security vulnerability (#3055, gRPC is only used to communicate with NeoFS nodes in the oracle service) * enforce default RPC server values when it's used as an independent package (not a part of node) (#3107) * unwrap.Nothing function for RPC clients (#3117) * address and reverse hash display in opcode dumps (#3115) Bugs fixed: * invalid peer port type returned by `getpeers` RPC response (#2914) * invalid data source for `mempool_unsorted_tx` Prometheus metric (#2969) * dBFT library upgrade fixing the ability of a single node to speed up the process of new blocks creation for the whole network (#3018, nspcc-dev/dbft#75) * failing CALLT instructions in VM CLI for loaded NEF files (#3020) * missing signers check for on-chain conflicting transactions (#3061) * incorrect sequence point boundaries in debug data (#3074) * compiler panic on encountering generic code (#3041) * potential pooled fallback notary transaction changes (#3108) * lost LastGasPerVote value on NEO state deserialization for non-voting accounts (#3122) ## 0.101.4 "Yarborough" (01 Aug 2023) Another one 3.5.0-compatible version that is aimed to fix T5 testnet state difference that has happened at block 2336911 which leads to inability to process new blocks since 2418703. The issue is fixed by allowing JSON numbers unmarshalling from scientific notation to Integer stackitem. Maximum parsing precision for such numbers is currently restricted by 53 bits. This is a temporary C#-compatible solution that is likely to change in the future versions when an appropriate C# node bug is fixed (neo-project/neo#2879). A set of minor bug fixes is included as well to flush some of the long-awaited changes that were blocked by the 0.102.0 release delay (caused by v3.6.0 C# node release delay). In particular, invalid headers returned by an RPC server for error responses, invalid format of incremental dumps created by CLI and deadlock on unhealthy RPC server shutdown. Long-awaited `--config-file` CLI option to start the node providing a single configuration file is added. T5 testnet chain requires a complete resynchronization for this version. Mainnet chain resynchronization is recommended, but not required. New features: * `--config-file` CLI option allowing to start the node with a single configuration file (#3014) Improvements: * blockchain Notary and Oracle services documentation improvement (#2972) * BoltDB (`go.etcd.io/bbolt`) dependency upgrade that fixes a number of Windows-related issues (#3034) Bugs fixed: * panic on node start with invalid configuration (#2968) * deadlock on unhealthy RPC server shutdown (#2966) * improper WSClient notification channels managing after disconnection (#2980) * missing Prometheus metric initialisation on node start (#2992) * invalid initialisation of native contracts cache (#2994) * incorrect way of incremental DB dumps creation (#3047) * Notary contract is allowed to be a sender of main Notary request transaction (#3065) * discrepancy in signer's witness scope parsing on the RPC server side (#3060) * Invoker calling API isn't allowed to accept nil parameter (#3067) * contract RPC Client unwrapper helper can't handle missing contract case (#3072) * JSON numbers can't be unmarshalled to stackitem from scientific notation (#3073) * invalid content-type header returned by RPC server on error responses (#3075) ## 0.101.3 "Yuckiness" (08 Jul 2023) Yet another 3.5.0-compatible emergency version that removes scrupulous instructions check of smart contract's script on contract deployment or update. Presence of this check leads to the known T5 testnet state incompatibility (since 1670095) which causes inability to process new blocks (since 2272533). It should be noted that the corresponding check was accidentally removed from the reference C# node implementation way back in neo-project/neo#2266 and added again in neo-project/neo#2849 which is planned to be a part of the upcoming 3.6.0 C# node release. Thus, changes made in the presented 0.101.3 release will be reverted afterwards and strict contract script check will be present in the next 3.6.0-compatible version of NeoGo node. T5 testnet chain requires a complete resynchronization for this version. Mainnet chain resynchronization is recommended. Bugs fixed: * extra strict contract script check on contract deployment or update is removed (#3052) ## 0.101.2 "Excavation" (29 Jun 2023) One more (and unexpected one!) 3.5.0-compatible version that fixes a VM bug leading to mainnet state incompatibility (since 3672783) which in turn leads to inability to process new blocks (since 3682290). Mainnet chain needs to be resynchronized for this version. Improvements: * documentation updates (#3029, #2990, #2981) Bugs fixed: * incorrect handling of empty Any-type parameter for RPC invocations (#2959) * incorrect state rollbacks in case of exception during cross-contract call when the call is made from non-TRYing context (#3046) ## 0.101.1 "Shallowness" (17 Mar 2023) Another 3.5.0-compatible version that delivers important bug fixes and provides a new API to be used by NeoFS. An upgrade is recommended, the DB doesn't need to be resynchronized. New features: * internal RPC client for deeply integrated applications like NeoFS (#2916) Improvements: * documentation updates (#2879, #2880, #2893, #2917, #2920, #2936) * code style, spelling and updated linter fixes (#2884, #2922, #2933) * NEP-2 import password can be provided via config file now (#2887) * custom stack item deserialization limit is available via public APIs now (#2904) * RPC client endpoint can be retrieved via public API (#2915) * dependency updates (#2919, #2929) * WSClient now copies filter parameters to Subscribe* and Receive* methods improving code safety (#2937) Bugs fixed: * name parameter ignored for wallet import command (#2887) * incorrect RPC binding code generated for Any return type (#2918) * memory leak on active peer disconnection (#2924) * consensus process deadlock (#2930) * dBFT deadlock in "committed at previous view" scenario (#2935) * panic in RPC waiter code (#2938) ## 0.101.0 "Shortness" (13 Jan 2023) This release delivers an important fix for block execution application logs and requires a resynchronization, therefore it's 0.101.0 (even though it's also 3.5.0-compatible). It fixes some other minor problems as well (the other most notable change probably is in the compiler), so we recommend upgrading. Improvements: * updated golang.org/x/* dependencies (#2854) * CLI help and required flags handling fixes (#2852) * transfer data storage optimization (#2865) * network's magic number is stored (and checked against the config on startup) in the DB now, reducing potential for node operator errors (#2867) Bugs fixed: * in rare cases nodes could request an invalid number of blocks from peers leading to disconnect (#2846) * outdated documentation fixes (#2860, #2876) * application logs for blocks that contained GAS spends for transaction fees contained (and returned from getapplicationlog RPC) incorrect (off by one) values for amount in Transfer events; transaction application logs were not affected by this, but data returned to RPC event subscribers could potentially be (#2865) * findstates RPC returned an error instead of an empty data set for valid contracts that have no data (unlike C# node, #2866) * miscompiled shadowed range loop variable definition (#2871) * missing (compared to C# node) explicit (even though null) 'exception' field in the getapplicationlog RPC output from server (#2872) ## 0.100.1 "Chaptalization" (28 Dec 2022) This is a tiny update that 99.99% of users can easily skip. The reason for this release is the need to fix compatibility with the NeoFS mainnet sidechain and have some stable version to be used there. In any other case it can be ignored, but if you still decide to upgrade you don't need to resynchronize. Behaviour changes: * Aspidochelone fork is made to include ContractManagement native contract deploy/update methods call flags change, initially it was an unconditional part of 0.99.0 NeoGo release (or 3.2.0 C# version), but this behavior is incompatible with the NeoFS mainnet sidechain; the change to the fork logic does not affect any other public networks (mainnet/testnet) and any new networks that have Aspidochelone enabled since block 0 (#2848) Improvements: * more robust NEP-11 divisibility check in the RPC server code (#2841) * microoptimization for some debug log messages (#2842) * additional fuzz tests for integer serialization and script parsing code (#2851) ## 0.100.0 "Centuplication" (08 Dec 2022) A 3.5.0-compatible version of NeoGo with all the appropriate protocol updates and a number of other changes. The most notable ones are configuration updates. New features and some long-standing inconsistencies required for some changes and this release brings them with it. Old configurations are still supported and will work the same way (except for one minor exception in VerifyBlocks that is only supposed to be used for tests/development), but we'd like to highlight that all of the old settings will be removed in ~6 months, so please review these updates and update your configurations. For public networks the best way to go is to take the new versions from the "config" directory and then adjust for particular scenario if needed. This release requires a complete resynchronization due to native contract changes, so please schedule your updates appropriately. New features: * System.Runtime.LoadScript syscall (and appropriate smart contract interops) allowing to load/run dynamic code (#2719) * PUSHT/PUSHF VM instructions allowing for simpler/cheaper booleans (#2770) * ContractManagement native contract was extended with ID->hash mappings and `getContractById` and `getContractHashes` methods (#2702, #2837) * LogLevel application configuration option that can be changed on SIGHUP (#2831) * additional type data generated by the compiler that then can be used by the RPC bindings (SDK/contract wrapper) generator, this allows for complex types (structures/arrays/maps) to be easily represented/handled in contract-specific RPC code (#2828) * multiaddress listeners for all services and P2P, this changes the old Address/Port (and AnnouncedPort for P2P) configuration scheme to more generic Addresses list, the old configuration is still supported, but is deprecated and will be removed in future node versions (#2827, #2839) Behaviour changes: * Aspidochelone fork block for NeoFS sidechain mainnet configuration is rescheduled again (#2823, #2830) * Blockchain's GetHeaderHash() method now accepts uint32 for parameter (#2814) * pre-0.97.3 and pre-0.99.0 deprecated compatibility fields and logic were dropped from the result.Version (`getversion` RPC result) structure (#2786) * SecondsPerBlock protocol configuration variable was replaced with TimePerBlock allowing for sub-second precision, SecondsPerBlock is still supported, but will eventually be removed (#2829) * AttemptConnPeers, BroadcastFactor, DialTimeout, ExtensiblePoolSize, MaxPeers, MinPeers, PingInterval, PingTimeout, ProtoTickInterval settings were moved into the new P2P section, timing parameters now use Duration type allowing for more human-friendly values in many cases, old parameters are still supported, but will eventually be removed (#2827) * consensus (dBFT) is configured as a separate service now that can be enabled/disabled (and can work in "watch only" mode without a wallet), the old direct "UnlockWallet" specification in "ApplicationConfiguration" is still supported, but is deprecated and will be removed in future versions (#2832) * GarbageCollectionPeriod, KeepOnlyLatestState, RemoveUntraceableBlocks, SaveStorageBatch and VerifyBlocks settings were moved from ProtocolConfiguration to ApplicationConfiguration; old configurations are still supported, except for VerifyBlocks which is replaced by SkipBlockVerification with inverted meaning (and hence an inverted default) for security reasons; this also affects NewBlockchain and neotest APIs (#2833) Improvements: * more user-friendly error and help messages in some cases (#2824, #2834) * faster node startup time and smaller memory footprint for networks with lots (1-2M+) of blocks (#2814) * minor documentation fixes (#2834, #2838) Bugs fixed: * transactions with system fee or more than MaxBlockSystemFee are no longer accepted into the mempool, preventing a form a network-wide DoS (#2826) * deprecated WSClient subscription methods not working correctly when filters are being used (#2836) ## 0.99.7 "Hyalinization" (23 Nov 2022) Bugs, terrestrial arthropods with at least six legs. Sometimes we don't notice them, sometimes we ignore them, but they do exist and there are times when they need to be dealt with in one way or another. Most of the bugs fixed in this release have a little less legs than proper insects, they're far from being as critical as the ones fixed in the previous release and yet we consider them annoying enough to warrant this new version of NeoGo to be published. We don't want to see our users fighting these pesky creatures in the wild, better update and have a troublefree experience. If you're not affected by #2815 (requests for verbose transaction data and application logs failed for some specific mainnet transaction(s)) you may leave the DB as is with this upgrade, if you want it to be solved then please resynchronize. Behaviour changes: * "loadtx" VM CLI command now uses transaction system fee value as the default GAS limit for the context, unless --gas is used (previously it wasn't limited, #2816) * SendRawTransaction RPC client method will now always return transaction hash, even if error occured, this also affects Actor APIs and allows to handle some specific errors (like transaction already present in the mempool) in more appropriate way (#2817) * Actor and NotaryActor Wait() wrapper methods now handle "already exists" and "already on chain" errors as non-errors, waiting (if needed) and returning proper results (#2817) Improvements: * reworked network discoverer/connection manager that has a better picture of the network (especially if it's a small one), doesn't try to make additional connections (even when having less than MinPeers of them) when there are no more real addresses to connect to, establishes stable connections faster in containerized environments and does more connection attempts when MinPeers setting is not satisfied, but there are potential candidates (#2811) * VM invocation stack handling microoptimization (#2812) * load* VM CLI commands now accept --gas parameter to set the amount of GAS to be used in this context (#2816) * better logging during state reset process (#2813) * subscription-based transaction waiter now handles already accepted transactions faster (~immediately vs waiting for block timeout previously, #2817) * WSClient can return more specific error on websocket handshake failure if it's provided by server (#2821) * new MaxWebSocketClients configuration option for the RPC server to control the number of allowed websocket clients, missing or 0 value make the server use the default of 64 which is compatible with the previous behavior (you can use old configurations if you don't care about this option, #2821) Bugs fixed: * occasional "loadgo" VM CLI test failures because of timeout (#2810) * websocket waiter test instability (#2809) * websocket event unsubscriptions could lead to node deadlock in rare circumstances (#2809) * exception handler could use improper evaluation stack in some cases (#2812) * pointer stack items were not handled correctly in "protected" serialization mode leading to inability to deserialize these items back (#2816) * state reset functionality not working for big chains like mainnet (#2813) ## 0.99.6 "Funambulation" (16 Nov 2022) An emergency release fixing mainnet incompatibility at block 2504320 leading to inability to process block 2504813. A couple of other less severe bugs got fixed as well. Unfortunately, this release requires complete resynchronization for mainnet, other networks can use old DBs. Improvements: * only transactions requested by the consensus process are forwarded to it now slightly improving performance in some networked scenarios (#2788) * a complete set of simple array unwrappers in the unwrap library (#2792) * RPC binding generator can handle simple arrays now with configuration file provided (#2792) * more user-friendly error messages in some cases (#2797, #2802, #2804) Bugs fixed: * DB was not properly closed after state reset (#2791) * VM stack handling problem leading to lost items after return from call to another contract (#2800) * "istack" command panic in the VM CLI (#2800) * failure to decode incorrect contract from ContractManagement state leading to failure to start the node, it'll be ignored now similar to how C# node treats this (#2802) * subscription to execution events failed if no "state" filter was used along with "container" (#2804) * Actor using WSClient could deadlock in the transaction waiter during unsubscription (#2804) ## 0.99.5 "Underestimation" (11 Nov 2022) It wasn't long since the previous release until a juicy set of features and optimisations came on board. So we've decided to change our release plan and supply one more 3.4.0 compatible version. It comes up with a massive suite of network P2P and broadcast improvements. We've carefully investigated message sending timeouts on benchmarks, reworked the broadcast logic and significantly reduced delays in message sending and the amount of useless traffic between our nodes. For smart-contract developers and RPC client users several new features were added. These are automatic RPC bindings generator, poll-based and websocket-based transactions awaiting and an extended websocket client subscriptions interface. For better debugging experience we've improved state related functionality of VM CLI and added an ability to reset chain state to a particular height. An important dBFT initialization bug that caused timestamp-related errors on block addition was fixed. Also, those who use NeoGo node with EnableCORSWorkaround setting may want to update the node to be able to handle web-socket requests with Origin set in the header. The users of websocket RPC client subscription mechanism are welcomed to move from deprecated subscriptions API to the extended one. Finally, we are kindly asking our users to have a look at our roadmap file where deprecated code removal schedule is attached. This version is fully compatible with C# node 3.4.0 and does not require resynchronization on upgrade. This time for sure, the next release is planned to be compatible with 3.5.0. New features: * logarithmic gossip fan-out, new `BroadcastFactor` application setting and adaptive peer requests are added to optimise broadcasting process (#608, #2678, #2743) * Prometheus histograms with handling time are added for P2P commands (#2750) and RPC calls (#2784) * transaction awaiting is added to RPC clients (#2740, #2749) * RPC bindings generator (#2705) is added for both safe (#2766) and state-changing (#2769, #2778) methods with initial iterator support (#2783) * the ability to reset chain state to a particular height is added (#2576, #2773) Behaviour changes: * Aspidochelone fork block for NeoFS sidechain mainnet configuration is rescheduled (#2754, #2776) * RPC server will now handle any Origin in websocket connection when EnableCORSWorkaround setting is on (#2772, #2724) * WS RPC client subscriptions API is extended to accept custom subscriber channels, old subscriptions API is marked as deprecated (#2756, #2764) Improvements: * network code refactoring (#2742) * network packets sending is now limited in time (#2738) * broadcast messages will be sent concurrently to each peer (#2741) * ping messages are broadcast using the common broadcast logic (#2742) * transactions requested by dBFT will be accepted on demand only (#2746, #2748, nspcc-dev/dbft#63) * VM CLI's state-based functionality improvements (extended signers and arguments parsing, enabled logging) and additional commands (`loadtx`, `loaddeployed`, `jump`) (#2729, #2606, #2740) * incoming P2P transactions are now processed concurrently and buffer for inventory hashes is reusable (#2755) * `GetData` and `GetBlocksByIndex` replies are now batched on a TCP-level (#2757) * optimisation of incoming P2P transactions and blocks filtering are introduced (#2758, #2759) * batch size of broadcast transactions hashes is adjusted (#2760) * peer reconnections logic is improved, `GetAddr` messages are sent more often (#2761, #2745) * documentation for wallet configuration file is clarified (#2763) * Koblitz curve implementation of btcd/btcec was replaced with decred/secp256k1 due to GitHub security warning (#2781) * `NOT` opcode for Bool emission is now used to reduce resulting script cost (#2762) Bugs fixed: * failing tests cleanup on Windows (#2736) * race in CLI test (#2765) * invalid conversion of PublicKey smart contract parameter to emitable (#2739) * initialize dBFT's context with previous block's timestamp on view 0 (#2753, #2752, nspcc-dev/dbft#64) ## 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) Improvements: * new `make` targets to build NeoGo binaries locally or using Docker 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) * new Wallet method that allows to save it in pretty format (#2549) * massive test code refactoring along with some core packages restructuring (#2548) * transaction package fuzz-test (#2553) * simplified client-side Error structure, more predefined errors for comparisons, refactored server side of RPC error handling (#2544) * more effective entry scripts for parameterless function invocations via RPC (#2558) * internal services now can start/stop properly independent of other node functionality (#2566, #2580) * all configurations now use 'localhost' instead of 127.0.0.1 (#2577) * documented JSON behavior for enumerations which deviates from C# node slightly (#2579) * better error messages in the CLI for invocations (#2574) * 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) * potential deadlock in consensus node before the dBFT process is started (#2567) * dBFT update: ChangeView messages were not correctly transmitted in RecoveryResponse messages (#2569, nspcc-dev/dbft#60) * dBFT update: ChangeView messages from newer views were not correctly processed by outdated node (#2573, nspcc-dev/dbft#61) * RPC server restarts via SIGHUP could lead to server not starting at all in very rare case (#2582) * inlined code couldn't have multiple `return` statements (#2594) * empty list of transactions is now returned instead of `null` in `getblock` 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 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. New features: * new methods in native contracts: - getTransactionVMState and getTransactionSigners in LedgerContract (#2417, #2447, #2511) - murmur32 in CryptoLib (#2417) - getAllCandidates and getCandidateVote in NeoToken (#2465) * System.Runtime.GetAddressVersion syscall (#2443) * StartWhenSynchronized option for RPC server (defaults to the old behaviour, #2445) * historic RPC invocations (invokefunctionhistoric, invokescripthistoric and invokecontractverifyhistoric APIs, #2431) * protocol hardforks, with Aspidochelone being the first supported (#2469, #2519, #2530, #2535) * MODMUL and MODPOW VM instructions (#2474) * ability to get connection closure error from WSClient (#2510) * isolated contract calls with state rollback on exception (#2508) * vote and candidate state change events in the NEO contract (#2523) * immutable compound types in VM (#2525) Behavior changes: * ContractManagement deploy and update methods now require AllowCall flag (#2402) * GetStorageItems* APIs are no longer available in dao package, use Seek* (#2414) * committee candidates are now checked against the Policy contract block list (#2453) * getCandidates NEO method returns no more than 256 results now (#2465) * EQUAL checks are limited to 64K of data in VM now irrespective of the number of elements compared (#2467) * Create[Standard/Multisig]Account prices were raised to avoid DoS attacks (#2469) * System.Runtime.GetNotifications syscall costs 16 times more GAS now (#2513) * System.Runtime.GetRandom syscall now costs more and uses more secure seed (#2519) Improvements: * better messages for some CLI commands (#2411, #2405, #2455) * fixes and extensions for example contracts (#2408) * better neotest documentation (#2408) * internal tests now use neotest framework more extensively (#2393) * neotest can now be used for benchmark code and has more multi-validator chain methods (#2393) * big (>64 bit) integers can now be used for RPC calls (#2413) * no error is logged now when notary-assisted transaction is already in the mempool (it's not an error, #2426) * T5 testnet with more aggressive protocol parameters (#2457) * destroyed contracts are blocked now (#2462) * JSONization errors for invoke* RPCs are now returned in exception field of the answer (#2461) * typos, grammar and spelling fixes in documentation, comments and messages (#2441, #2442) * faster RPC client initialization (#2468) * RPC processing errors use ERROR log severity now only if there is a server-side error occurred (2484) * increased server-side websocket message limit to fit any request (#2507) * invalid PrepareRequest now doesn't require other nodes to be alive to send ChangeView (#2512) * updated YAML library dependency (#2527) * notary subsystem compatibility fixes, using new IDs and options (#2380) * minor performance improvements (#2531) Bugs fixed: * websocket-based RPCs were not counted in Prometheus metrics (#2404) * input data escaping missing for RPC log messages (#2404) * compiler panic in notification checking code (#2408) * missing 'hash' field in the debug data (#2427) * debug data used relative paths that are not compatible with neo-debugger (#2427) * getversion RPC method wasn't compatible with C# implementation (#2435, #2448) * old BaseExecFee and StoragePrice values could be used by transactions in the same block with transactions that change any of them (#2432) * context initialization race in dbft (#2439) * some stateroot data functions used incorrect keys in the DB (#2446) * voter reward data could not be deleted in NEO contract in some cases (#2454) * the maximum number of HTTPS oracle redirections is limited to 2 (and only using HTTPS) for C# compatibility (#2456, #2389) * maximum number of contract updates wasn't limited leading to overflow (#2462) * incorrect interop signature for getCandidates NEO contract method (#2465) * next instruction validitiy check is performed now before instruction pointer move to be compatible with C# implementation (#2475) * concurrent map access in Seek leading to panic (#2495, #2499) * insecure password reads (#2480) * minor VM reference counting fixes (#2498, #2502, #2525) * panic during serialization of transaction with empty script (#2485) * 'exception' field was missing in the invoke* RPC call output when there is no exception which differed from C# node behaviour (#2514) * interop interfaces used incompatible (wrt C# node) type string in JSON (#2515) * minor genesis block state differences wrt C# implementation (#2532) * incompatible (wrt C#) method offset check (#2532) ## 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) ## 0.98.4 "Mesmerization" (11 May 2022) An urgent release to fix incompatibility with mainnet at block 1528989. The actual pair of problems leading to inability to process this block occurred 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) ## 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) ## 0.98.2 "Karstification" (21 Mar 2022) We've decided to release one more 3.1.0-compatible version bringing all of the 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. 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) * exception stack wasn't properly cleared during CALL processing in VM (#2348) * incorrect contract used in RPC client's GetOraclePrice (#2378) * oracle service could be tricked by redirects into going to local hosts when this was disabled (#2383) * `invoke*` RPC functions could be used to trigger OOM with specially crafted scripts (#2386) * some edge-cased integer conversions were not exactly matching the behavior of C# node in VM (#2391) * HASKEY instruction wasn't working for byte arrays (#2391) * specially-crafterd JSONPath filters for oracle requests could trigger OOM (#2372) * ENDFINALLY opcode before ENDTRY could lead to VM panic (#2396) * IsScriptCorrect function could panic on specially-crafted inputs (#2397) ## 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) * helper script to compare node states via RPC (#2339) Behavior changes: * zero balance is explicitly printed now for token-specific NEP-17 balance 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: * optimized application log storage (#2305) * 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) * refactored internal Blockchainer interfaces, eliminating unnecessary 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 processing (#2330) * dropped deprecated `loader` package from compiler dependencies moving to updated x/tools interface (#2292) Bugs fixed: * incorrect handling of missing user response in CLI (#2308) * improper primary node GAS distribution in notary-enabled networks (#2311) * excessive trailing spaces in the VM CLI output (#2314) * difference in JSON escaping wrt C# node leading to state difference for testnet at block 864762 (#2321) * potential panic during node shutdown in the middle of state jump (#2325) * wrong parameters for `findstates` call in RPC client (#2328) * improper call flags in Notary contract `withdraw` method (#2332) * incorrect ownerOf signature for divisible NEP-11 contracts (#2333) * missing safeness check for overloaded methods in the compiler (#2333) ## 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) * configurable method overloading for the compiler (#2217) * initial support for the Windows platform (#2239, #2265, #2267, #2264, #2283, #2288) * contract testing framework (#2229, #2262) * `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) * updated NeoFS client library dependency (#2276) Bugs fixed: * getproof RPC API didn't handle destroyed contracts correctly (#2215) * invokefunction RPC returned error if no parameters were passed (#2220) * incorrect handling of empty MPT batch (#2235) * incoming block queue using more memory than it should, up to OOM condition on stuck node (#2238) * panic on peer disconnection in rare cases (#2240) * panic on password read failure (#2244) * miscompiled functions using `defer` and returning no values (#2255) * oracle responses processed not using request witnesses (#2261) * CreateTxFromScript() RPC client method incorrectly handled CustomContracts and CreateTxFromScript sender scopes (#2272) * potential OOM during synchronization on systems with slow disks (#2271) * 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 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. 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) * conflicting dummy transactions could stay in the DB even with block removal enabled (#2134) ## 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) ## 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) ## 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) ## 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) ## 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 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) ## 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) ## 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) ## 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) ## 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 node operators. Please note that this release is incompatible with 0.94.1 and there won't be long-term support provided for it. New features: * CLI command for NEP-17 transfers now accepts `data` parameter for the transfer (#1906) * contract deployment CLI comand now also accepts `data` parameter for `_deploy` method (#1907) * NEP-11 and NEP-17 transfers from CLI can now have multiple signers (#1914) * `System.Runtime.BurnGas` interop was added to burn some GAS as well as `refuel` GAS contract method to add GAS to current execution environment (#1937) * port number announced via P2P can now differ from actual port node is bound to if new option is used (#1942) * CLI now supports full set of NEP-11 commands, including balance and transfers (#1918) * string split, memory search and compare functions added to stdlib (#1943) * MaxValidUntilBlockIncrement can now be configured (#1963) Behavior changes: * `data` parameter is now passed in a different way to NEP-17 RPC client methods (#1906) * default (used if nothing else specified) signer scope is now `CalledByEntry` in CLI and RPC (#1909) * `SignAndPushInvocationTx` RPC client method now adds as many signatures as it can with the wallet given which in some cases allows CLI to create complete transaction without going through multisignature procedure (#1912) * `getversion` RPC call now returns network magic number in `network` field (#1927) * RoleManagement native contract now emits `Designation` event in `designateAsRole` method (#1938) * `System.Storage.Find` syscall now strips full prefix given when `FindRemovePrefix` option is used (#1941) * LT, LE, GT, GE VM opcodes now accept Null parameters (#1939) * `features` field was re-added to contract manifests, though it's not currently used (#1944) * node will reread TLS certificates (if any configured) on SIGHUP (#1945) * contract trusts are now expressed with permission descriptors in manifest (#1946) * NEP-11 transfers now also support `data` parameter (#1950) * N3 RC2 testnet magic differs from N2 RC1 testnet (#1951, #1954) * stdlib encoding/decoding methods now only accept inputs no longer than 1024 bytes (#1943) * `System.Iterator.Create` interop was removed with all associated logic (#1947) * `Neo.Crypto.CheckSig` and `Neo.Crypto.CheckMultisig` interops were renamed to `System.Crypto.CheckSig` and `System.Crypto.CheckMultisig` (#1956) * oracle requests now use Neo-specific JSONPath implementation (#1916) * native NNS contract was removed and replaced by non-native version (#1965) Improvements: * RPC errors reported by server are now more verbose for `submitblock`, `sendrawtransaction` calls (#1899) * all CLI commands that accept addresses now also accept hashes and vice versa (#1905) * code cleanup based on a number of static analysis tools (#1908, #1958) * CLI implementation refactoring (#1905, #1911, #1914, #1915, #1918) * only one state validator now sends complete stateroot message normally (#1953) * oracle HTTPS requests are now sent with User-Agent header (#1955) * stdlib `itoa` and `atoi` methods can now be called with one parameter (#1943) * oracle nodes are no longer on extensible payload whitelist (#1948) * extensible message pool is now per-sender with configurable size (#1948) * `static-variables` field support for debugger as well as debug data for `init` and `_deploy` functions (#1957) * user documentation for configuration options (#1968) Bugs fixed: * `getproof` RPC request returned successful results in some cases where it should fail * `Transfer` events with invalid numbers were not rejected by NEP-17 tracking code (#1902) * boolean function parameters were not accepted by `invokefunction` RPC call implementation (#1920) * potential races in state validation service (#1953) * single state validator couldn't ever complete stateroot signature (#1953) * SV vote resending was missing (#1953) * SV vote messages used invalid (too big) ValidBlockEnd increment (#1953) * memory leak in state validation service (#1953) * NEP-6 wallets have `isDefault` field, not `isdefault` (#1961) ## 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). New features: * Compiler: - ellipsis support for append() to non-byte slices (#1750) - NEP-11 standard conformance check (#1722) - onNEP*Payable compliance checks (#1722) * you can pass files as contract arguments now with `filebytes` CLI parameter (#1762) * CLI now supports specifying addresses everywhere script hashes are accepted (#1758) * System.Contract.CreateMultisigAccount interop function (#1763) * SQRT and POW VM instructions (#1789, #1796) * new NeoFSAlphabet node role added to RoleManagement contract (#1812) * node can serve as state validator node (#1701) * oracles now support NeoFS (#1484, #1830) * CLI can be used to dump wallet's public keys (#1811) * storage fee, candidate register price and oracle request price can now be adjusted by committee (#1818, #1850) * native contracts can now be versioned (#1827) * RPC client was extended with price getters for native contracts (#1838) Behavior changes: * NFTs no longer have "description" field (#1751) * P2P Notary service configuration moved to ApplicationConfiguration section (#1747) * native contract methods requiring write permission in call flags now also require read permission (#1777, #1837) * System.Contract.Call interop function now requires state read permission (#1777) * NeoGo no longer supports Go 1.13 (#1791) * native contract calls are now contract version aware (#1744) * interop wrappers for smart contracts now use `int` type for all integers (#1796) * MaxTransactionsPerBlock, MaxBlockSize, MaxBlockSystemFee settings are now a part of node configuration and no longer are available in Policy contract (#1759, #1832) * storage items can no longer be constant (#1819) * state root handling is now conformant with C# implementation (with state validators and vote/stateroot messages, #1701) * blocks no longer have ConsensusData section, primary index is now a part of the header (#1792, #1840, #1841) * `wallet multisign sign` command was renamed to `wallet sign`, it now works not just for multisignature contract signing, but also for multiple regular signers as well as contract verification signing * conversion interops were moved to StdLib native contract (#1824) * crypto interops (except basic `CheckSig` and `CheckMultiSig`) were moved to CryptoLib native contract (#1824) * PACK, UNPACK and CONVERT instructions now cost more (#1826) * some native contract types were adjusted (#1820) * native Neo's `getCommittee` and `getNextBlockValidators` methods now cost less (#1828) * block/transaction/payload hashing and signing scheme has changed (#1829, #1839) * signing context is now serialized to JSON using base64 for data (#1829) * System.Contract.IsStandard interop was removed (#1834) * notifications are no longer allowed for safe contract methods (#1837) Improvements: * verification script are now allowed to make contract calls (#1751) * extensible payloads now have the same size limit as other P2P messages (#1751) * error logging is more helpful now in some cases (#1747, #1757) * function inlining support in compiler for internal intrinsics, interop refactoring (#1711, #1720, #1774, #1785, #1804, #1805, #1806, #1796, #1809) * documentation updates (#1778, #1843) * `sendrawtransaction` and `submitblock` RPC calls now return more detailed information about errors for failed submissions (#1773) * NeoGo now supports Go 1.16 (#1771, #1795) * NEP-17 transfer tracking was optimized to avoid some DB accesses (#1782) * interop wrappers added for SIGN/ABS/MAX/MIN/WITHIN instructions (#1796) Bugs fixed: * `designateAsRole` method returned value while it shouldn't (#1746) * deleting non-existent key could lead to node panic during MPT calculation (#1754) * some invalid IPv4 were accepted by name service contract (#1741) * some legitimate IPv6 addresses were rejected by name service (#1741) * compiler: append() to byte array produced wrong results for bytes with >0x80 values (#1750) * wrong notary-signed transaction size in notifications leading to client disconnects (#1766) * CALLT wasn't checking permission to read states and make calls in call flags (#1777) * proper escaping wasn't done in some cases on VM stack item conversion to JSON (#1794) * improper network fee calculation for complex multi-signed transactions in some cases (#1797) * importing package with the same name as compiled one could lead to incorrect compiler behavior (#1808) * boolean values were emitted as integers by compiler leading to some comparison failures (#1822) * `invokecontractverify` wasn't calculating proper GAS price of verification using contract (#1825) * ContractManagement contract wasn't returning NULL value from `getContract` method if contract is missing (#1851) ## 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). New features: * "ProtocolNotSupported" oracle response code (#1630) * POPITEM VM opcode (#1670) * CALLT VM opcode and contract tokens support (#1673) * extensible P2P payloads (#1667, #1674, #1706, #1709) * contract method overloading (#1689) * oracle module (#1427, #1703) * NNS native contract (#1678, #1712, #1721) * complete P2P Notary subsytem (experimental protocol extension, use only on private networks, #1658, #1726) * Ledger native contract (#1696) * `getblockheadercount` RPC call (#1718) * native contract wrappers for Go smart contracts (#1702) * `getnativecontracts` RPC call (#1724) Behavior changes: * VM CLI now supports and requires manifests to properly work with NEF files (#1642) * NEP-17-related CLI commands now output GAS balance as floating point numbers (#1654) * `--from` parameter can be omitted now for NEP-17 CLI transfers, the default wallet address will be used in this case (#1655) * native contracts now use more specific types for methods arguments (#1657) * some native contract names and IDs have changed (#1622, #1660) * NEF file is stored now in contract's state instead of script only which also affects RPC calls and ContractManagement's interface * call flag definitions were moved to a package of their own (#1647) * callback syscalls were removed (#1647) * calling a contract now requires specifying allowed flags (and `CallEx` syscall was removed, #1647) * iterator/enumerator `Concat` calls were removed (#1656) * `System.Enumerator.*` syscalls were removed (#1656) * `System.Storage.Find` interface was reworked (#1656) * NEF file format was changed merging compiler and version fields, adding reserved fields and tokens (#1672) * registering as committee/validator candidate now costs 1000 GAS (#1684) * dbft now uses extensible P2P payloads (#1667) * contract hashing scheme was changed now including names in the mix (#1686) * GAS fees JSON marshalling was changed to plain integers (#1687, #1723) * native methods requiring committee signature now fail the script instead of returning `false` (#1695) * native ContractManagement contract now has two `deploy` methods, with additional data and without it (#1693) * updated contract manifest now can't change contract's name (#1693) * default values of native contracts were moved to storage from code (#1703) * blocked accounts now store empty string instead of `01` byte (#1703) * testnet magic number was changed for preview5 (#1709, #1715) * `onPayment` method was renamed to `onNEP17Payment` (#1712) * manifests are stored and accessed as stack items instead of JSON (#1704) * zero-length "Headers" packet is a protocol error now (#1716) * `getstorage` RPC call now uses base64 instead of hex for input/output (#1717) * state dumper and comparer now use base64 instead of hex (#1717) * deployed contracts and manifests are now checked for correctness (#1729) * transaction scripts are now checked for correctness before execution (#1729) Improvements: * default VM interop prices were adjusted (#1643) * batched MPT updates (#1641) * you can use `-m` now for manifest parameter of contract deploying command (#1690) * transaction cosigners can be specified with addresses now (#1690) * compiler documentation was updated (#1690) Bugs fixed: * oracle response transaction can't be correctly evicted from the mempool (#1668) * the node left with zero peers didn't initiate reconnections to seeds in rare cases (#1671) * native contracts supposed to check for committee witness in fact checked for validators witness (#1679) * it was allowed for contracts to have non-bool `verify` methods (#1689) * previous proposal reuse could lead to empty blocks accepted even if there are transactions in the mempool (#1707) * NEO contract's `getCommittee` method name was misspelled (#1708) * CLI wasn't correctly handling escape sequences (#1727) * init and deploy methods could be misoptimized leading to execution failures (#1730) * NEP-17 contract example was missing `onNEP17Payment` invocation (#1732) * missing state read privilege could lead to transaction failures for transfers from CLI or when using native contract wrappers (#1734, #1735) * some native contract methods had different parameter names and return output types (#1736) ## 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). New features: * "high priority" transaction attribute (#1341) * "oracle response" transaction attribute (#1407, #1520, #1573) * new GAS distribution and committee update scheme (#1364, #1529, #1518,

supported for `get*transfers` calls (#1419) - `getunclaimedgas` RPC call now also supports passing address as a parameter (#1418) - `getcontractstate` now also accepts addresses, IDs and names (for native contracts, #1426) - batched JSON-RPC requests support (#1514) - `invokecontractverify` RPC call to run verification scripts (#1524) * P2P notaries subsystem (configurable `P2PSigExtensions`

(#1637) ## 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 expectations, #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) * compressed P2P payloads now also contain their uncompressed size (#1212, #1255) * NEF files now use double SHA256 for checksums (#1203) * VM's map keys and contract methods now can only contain valid UTF-8 strings (#1198) * stack items now can be converted to/from JSON natively (without 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.

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).
