0.78.3 "Calcification" (22 February 2021)
We're updating NeoGo node for Neo 2 network with this release bringing a number of fixes for various problems. Some were found during our internal RPC compatibility audit and some are just backports from Neo 3 development branch. There are no new features introduced, but it's an important upgrade. Unfortunately we had to change the DB format to fix some problems, so add some time for resynchronization to your node maintenance plan.
Improvements:
- RPC documentation was updated mentioning all known differences with C# implementation that are considered to be not worth fixing (#1760)
Bugs fixed:
- when mempool is full new transaction's hash could still be added into it even if transaction is to be rejected afterwards (#1623)
gettxout
RPC API was returning data for already spent outputs, although it shouldn't (C# node doesn't do that, #1649)getrawtransaction
RPC call returned metadata for pooled (not yet accepted) transactions (#1648)gettransactionheight
RPC call returned zero height for pooled (not yet accepted) transactions (#1648)- VM CLI set breakpoints after target instructions, although it should set them before execution (#1648)
- a peer could be disconnected and not reconnected again properly in some cases (#1648)
- missing write timeout could lead to broadcasting stalls (#1648)
- CN transaction requests could try to ask for more transactions from peers than it is allowed to by the protocol (#1648)
- CN transaction requests could be trimmed unnecessarily (#1648)
- FP Fixed8 values (GAS usually) could be unmarshalled from JSON/YAML incorrectly in some cases (#1761)
- previous proposal reuse could lead to empty blocks accepted even if there are transactions in the mempool (#1761)
- UTXO asset issuer wasn't properly stored by the node (#1760)
getassetstate
RPC call answer used wrong field name for "frozen" data (#1760)- UTXO asset type was serialized as numeric code instead of a string in
getrawtransaction
and getassetstate RPC call results (#1760) getblockheader
RPC call didn't support block numbers in parameters (#1760)getblocksystemfee
RPC call returned block's system fee while it should return cumulative system fee from genesis block to the one requested (#1760)- system fee calculation was wrong for some types of transactions (#1760)
gettxout
RPC call implementation was returning asset hash in wrong byte order (#1760)getpeers
RPC call implementation returned port numbers wrapped into strings (#1760)getenrollments
RPC call implementation returned duplicate wrong records along with proper ones (#1760)- NEP5 tracking code wasn't deleting entries with zero balance leading to excessive getnep5balances request outputs for some addresses (#1760)
- NEP5 tracking code wasn't able to handle tokens overflowing int64 in transfer and balance amounts (like pnWETH, #1760)
confirmations
value ingetblock
RPC call response was shifted by two (#1760)- some fields with default values were omitted for
getrawtransaction
andgetblock
RPC call answers with Register and Publish transactions (#1760)
0.78.2 "Colorization" (03 December 2020)
Release 0.78.2 adds some minor features to the node while still being compatible both for protocol and for DB format.
New features:
getblocktransfertx
RPC API to get list of asset-transferring transactions (both UTXO and NEP5) for a block, see docs/rpc.md for more details (#1516)- support for batched JSON-RPC requests (#1509)
KeepOnlyLatestState
option to only track the latest MPT state and not store old trees, it's disabled by default (keeping old behavior) and can only be turned on for a new DB (resynchronizing state from the genesis block), but it allows to drastically reduce disk space requirements for mainnet node (and even make it work a bit faster while still having stateroot tracking). Nodes with stateroot disabled (EnableStateRoot: false
) use ~53GB for DB at current 6.5M height, stateroot-enabled nodes (EnableStateRoot: true
) require ~122GB, but withKeepOnlyLatestState: true
setting (andEnableStateRoot: true
) the DB size is ~56GB, so the difference is quite noticeable for disk-constrained setups.
Improvements:
- mempooled transaction retransmission mechanism (#1532)
0.78.1 "Circumnavigation" (22 October 2020)
This is a bug fix release that solves DB access and seed reconnection problems. If you're using LevelDB or BadgerDB for backend storage you need to resynchronize your node for testnet and you're recommended to do that for mainnet. BoltDB users can proceed with the old DB.
Behavior changes:
- default mainnet configuration now has updated values for FreeGas changes height (6195000 instead of 6200000, #1412)
Improvements:
- dBFT timer was tuned to eliminate block processing delay from the inter-block interval, this only affects consensus nodes (#1429)
Bugs fixed:
- node using LevelDB or BadgerDB for backend storage had incorrect state for testnet (#1468)
- node that failed to connect to seeds on startup never attempted to reconnect to them again (#1483)
- node using BoltDB could panic in various situations like processing a new block, this was noticed on the master branch with 3.0 support and never seen on 2.x, although theoretically it could still happen (#1482)
0.78.0 "Cardioacceleration" (15 September 2020)
This version is a Neo 2.12.0-compatible release that follows DeFi-related network changes while also introducing some new RPC functionality and fixing bugs.
There is an important configuration update there, please check FreeGasLimit, MaxFreeTransactionsPerBlock and MaxTransactionsPerBlock settings as they're now height-dependent (see the default mainnet and testnet configurations for example of how to configure them).
If you're using getutxotransfer calls, please resynchronize your node to fix NEO values returned.
New features:
- minimum network fee policy value can now be configured, but it defaults to zero for now (#1397)
- stateroot import/export (#1307)
- new
getalltransfertx
RPC call returning all UTXO and NEP5 transactions for specified account (parameters are the same as forgetnep5transfers
, see RPC documentation for details, #1399, #1404) - GetUTXOTransfers support was added to RPC client (#1399)
Behavior changes:
- FreeGasLimit is now height-dependent (configured as a map, instead of simple value), default value for mainnet since 6200000 and testnet since 4840000 is 50.0 (#1394, #1397, #1400, #1402)
- getnep5transfers and getutxotransfers RPC calls now support limiting and paging in addition to time span selection, by default both only return a 1000 of elements (and it's the maximum possible) for a single call (#1395, #1399)
- MaxTransactionsPerBlock and MaxFreeTransactionsPerBlock are height-dependent now, the default values for mainnet and testnet change since 6200000 and 4840000 respectively to 200 transactions per block with 199 free ones
- RPC client's GetNEP5Transfers call was updated to support new parameters (#1399)
Improvements:
- the project is now using proper YAML library import path (#1306)
- the node will exit with an error if no valid password is provided for CN wallet (#1316)
Bugs fixed:
- state root addition errors in CN logs (harmless, but annoying, #1313)
- state root was generated by CNs before StateRootEnableIndex (#1320)
- panic on consensus watcher node (#1314)
- RPC calls working with 256-bit hash parameters were not accepting hashes with "0x" prefix (#1369)
- getutxotransfer RPC call returned NEO values multiplied by 10⁸ (#1386)
- incorrect vout indexes in getblock or getrawtransaction RPC outputs (#1392)
- network fee check was not accounting for LowPriorityThreshold correctly (#1397)
0.77.0 "Cornification" (11 August 2020)
This release is aligned with Neo 2.11.0 release, bringing important changes to the NeoX consensus protocol, some bug fixes and new RPC functionality. It is tested to work in consensus with 2.11.0. The DB format was changed for NEP5 tracking data and we also track UTXO transfers now, so you need to resynchronize the DB from the genesis for this version to operate correctly.
New features:
getutxotransfers
RPC call to track NEO and GAS movements. It accepts address as mandatory parameter, asset name ("gas" or "neo") and start/end time as optional parameters (similar togetnep5transfers
). See #1268 and #1288.invoke*
RPC calls now support passing hashes to be used as verified ones during execution (for contract'sCheckWitness
calls), this functionality is also available in the CLI now (#1282)
Behavior changes:
getnep5transfers
andgetnep5balance
now return raw balance values, the same way C# node does (previously the result was adjusted by contract's decimals value, #1250)getstateheight
RPC call response now uses lowercase field names (#1274)getnep5transfers
RPC call now accepts start/end optional time parameters (the same way C# plugin does), lacking start option the result might be different from the one returned by previous node versions (#1284)- we no longer support Go 1.12 to build the node (#1285)
- NeoX consensus was reworked to exchange signatures during Prepare phase and emit stateroot message along with Commit (#1291). Note that this new consensus process is not compatible with 0.76.X versions of neo-go or 2.10.3-neox-preview1 version of C# node, but it is compatible with 2.11.0, so you need to upgrade all of your consensus nodes for the network to run correctly. Also note that the default configuration for mainnet was changed to enable StateRoot functionality.
Bugs fixed:
getnep5transfers
RPC call not returning results for migrated contracts (#1215)- incorrect consensus recovery message data for NeoX-enabled networks (#1270)
0.76.2 "Calibration" (19 July 2020)
Minor update for Neo 2. If you're running testnet node, we recommend to resynchronize it to fix state mismatch at block 4516236, mainnet is not known to have any similar problem so you can keep the old DB.
Bugs fixed:
- rare panic on node shutdown (#1185)
- VM not clearing alt stack when doing CALLs (#1158)
- incorrect resource accounting for isolated calls (#1186)
- state height wasn't updated properly for networks with StateRootEnableIndex higher than zero (like testnet, #1213)
0.76.1 "Conduplication" (15 July 2020)
Minor bug fixing for Neo 2 implementation. If you're affected by NEP5 balance tracking bug, please resynchronize your node to get correct results, other than that it's not required, the DB is fully compatible.
Bugs fixed:
- block synchronization stalls on consensus node when it's not yet up to date and there are a lot of blocks to fetch (#1116)
- getnep5balances and getnep5transfers RPC calls didn't support passing addresses as parameters (#1146)
- NEP5 balance tracking was not aware of contract migrations leading to wrong data being returned for getnep5balances RPC call (#1144)
0.76.0 "Cross-pollination" (25 June 2020)
We wanted to make a 0.75.1-neox-preview1 release of neo-go compatible with version 2.10.3-neox-preview1 of C# node, but then suddenly decided to make something better than that and now release 0.76.0 instead which brings with it configurable cross-chain functionality support. So there is no need to use different node builds for different networks with NeoGo, one binary fits all. As usual some bugs were also fixed, this time mostly concentrating around consensus functionality.
New features:
- cross-chain (aka neox) support, refer to docs/neox.md for details on what's included and how to use it
- compiler built-in Remove function was added for slices/maps element deletion (#1021)
Behavior changes:
- the default testnet config now enables state root with StateRootEnableIndex of 4380100, if you have a testnet node you need to either stay with the old configuration or remove the DB and resynchronize blocks from genesis
- contracts using comparison with nil will fail to compile, this comparison actually never functioned correctly (#952)
Improvements:
- storage cache flushing was optimized, improving block import speed by ~10% (#1014)
- consensus process now logs a bit more relevant messages (#1041)
- limits to invocation scripts were added to consensus messages (#1087)
- transaction request retries were added in case consensus process is missing some transactions (#1095)
Bugs fixed:
- dbft's failed nodes detection was tuned for the case of node lagging behind the network (#1009)
- dbft was fixed to always process recovery messages for the current block (#1009)
- compiler now initializes complex struct fields correctly (#952)
- NOTEQUAL opcode is now only being emitted for integers by the compiler (#952)
- typo in docker entrypoint script preventing proper bootstrap file passing (#1089)
- MaxFreeTransactionsPerBlock limit wasn't really enforced (#1019)
- changeview payloads were not processed correctly by the consensus subsystem (#1041)
- dbft library wasn't including messages from higher views for last seen message checks (#1041)
- recovery request sent instead of recovery message in one case (#1095)
- some correctness checks were not done for proposed block in not all transactions were present when the node received PrepareRequest (#1095)
- timeout wasn't properly calculated in some cases for Primary node leading to early PrepareRequest send (#1095)
0.75.0 "Caramelization" (28 May 2020)
A long-awaited Neo 2.0 update for neo-go that fixes a lot of subtle little differences in VM and syscalls behavior compared to C# node that resulted in storage state mismatches between two nodes. This release makes neo-go fully compatible with public testnet and mainnet chains, for every transaction in every block you get the same result.
But it's not just about bugs, as it's been quite a long development cycle, we've also included some interesting new features like notification subsystem, neo-debugger compatibility and BadgerDB support. Smart contract compiler and interop packages were also updated making neo-go even better for developing real-world complex smart contracts.
New features:
- support for
for
loops with no condition was added to the compiler (#799) - compiler can now emit debug information compatible with neo-debugger (#804, #829)
- experimental BadgerDB support was added (#839)
- support for abi.json files generation was added for contract deployment with NEO-Express (#916)
- RPC over websocket connections is now supported both by the server (with ws://$SERVER:$PORT/ws URL) and client (WSClient structure, #921)
- notification subsystem was added for RPC server and client (using websocket connections, #895)
- interop package now has a complete set of syscalls available (#795, #956)
- push command was added to VM CLI (#967)
- diff dumps are now supported in
db restore
CLI command (#991)
Behavior changes:
- due to DB format changes you'll need to resynchronize your node from scratch (and it'll also update its state to a more proper one)
- runtime.Notify interop now accepts varargs (#825)
- compiler's
--debug
parameter is now used for debug information generation, use--verbose
to get more internal compiler's messages (#829) - compiler now outputs hex-encoded contract's bytecode only with
--verbose
option (#829, previously it was always printed) - RPC client's representation of GetBlock results changed significantly (#951)
- some interop functions changed their in/out types to a more proper ones (#956, though previous ones didn't really work, so no current code should notice that)
skip
parameter todb restore
CLI command was replaced bystart
(#991), when using full (non-diff) NGD dumps with short (-s
) form they're compatible, butstart
(as a block index) makes more sense for diff dumps

- storage.Find usage example was added (#795)
- VM stack item tests were improved (#812)
config
directory now only contains configuration files, no Go code (#423, #816)- local variables are counted more accurately now in the compiler leading to less waste in script runtime (#815)
- NEP5 example was extended with minting function making it a bit more usable (#823)
- DAO was refactored away into its own package from core (#832)
- additional tests were added for bitwise and numeric VM operations (#833)
- tests for VM CALL* instructions were added (#833)
- consensus message parsing was split into two parts so that ordinary nodes won't touch CN's data (#862)
- contract's metadata was moved into smartcontract package from rpc (#916)
- interop packages documentation was extended (#956)
- Docker build was fixed to use Makefile (#981)
Bugs fixed:
- integer stack values were not following C# node format when being converted to JSON (#770)
- vm now uses truncated division to match C# node behavior for negative integers (#773)
- getapplicationlog and other RPC calls now convert Uint160 to JSON the same way C# node does (#769)
- asset state JSON representation now follows the same format as C# node uses (with proper field names for 'id' and 'type' and without 'fee' add 'address' fields, #785, #819)

0.74.0 "Comprehension" (17 Mar 2020)
Functionally complete NEO 2.0 node implementation, this release can be used as a drop-in replacement for C# node in any setting. It features full RPC functionality support and full set of wallet operations. As usual, there also was a number of bugs fixed, the node stability improved and some great optimizations were also done (especially concentrated around DB interactions), so even though this release has more functionality than ever (and it stores a lot more chain data than ever) it at the same time imports blocks faster than the previous one.
Of course we will make additional maintenance releases for NEO 2.0 when needed, but following this release we'll concentrate more on NEO 3.0 features and catching up with recent community developments around that.
New features:
- WIF and NEP2 keys import/export into/from the wallet (#685)

- DBFT timer was extended too much, not following the C# implementation (#682)
0.72.2 "Confabulation" (11 Feb 2020)
Bugfix and small refactoring release, though it's the first one to include improved CHECKMULTISIG implementation that is ~20% faster.
Improvements:

0.72.1 "Contextualization" (07 Feb 2020)
Exactly one bug fixed relative to the 0.72.0:
- testnet synchronization failed at block 713985 because of wrong notification generated by the invocation transaction (#650)
0.72.0 "Crystallization" (06 Feb 2020)
Starting at the end of the year 2019 we've spent a lot of effort to stress-test our node with transaction load and this allowed us to uncover some problems in various parts of the system. This release addresses all of them and brings with it updated networking, consensus and mempool components that can handle quite substantial transaction traffic and successfully produce new blocks while being stressed. There are also important updates in VM that fix incompatibilities with C# node and interesting improvements in compiler based on our experience porting neofs smart contract to Go.
New features:

Version 0.71.0 ends the year 2019 of neo-go development with a solid release that adds support for pprof, implements all missing interoperability functions, improves performance and as usual fixes some bugs. This is also the first release with a test coverage of more than 60% which is a significant milestone in our trend to improve code quality and testing. Back in August 2019 when NSPCC had started neo-go developement the project only had a coverage of 45% and even though a lot of code has been added since we're improving this metrics with every release.

- NPE in consensus (#583)
0.70.1 "Centrifugation" (16 Dec 2019)
Release 0.70.1 brings no new functionality focusing on internal node improvements instead. Some bugs were fixed, refactoring was done and performance was improved substantially.
Behaviour changes:

- code testing will fail if you're not to checkout submodules (we have one with neo-vm tests, #543)
Improvements:
- "inv" command handling was changed to not ask peers of the items we already have (#533)

0.62.0 "Commotion" (07 Nov 2019)
Release 0.62.0 finishes one very important work some pieces of which were gradually rolled out in previous releases --- it integrates all neo-vm project JSON-based tests for NEO 2.0 C# VM and runs them successfully against neo-go VM. There are also important bug fixes based on mainnet nodes deployment experience and additional configuration options.
New Features:
- implemented
Runtime.Serialize
andRuntime.Deserialize
syscalls (#419) - new configuration option --
AttemptConnPeers
to set the number of connections that the node will try to establish when it goes below the MinPeers setting (#478) LogPath
configuration parameter to write logs into some file and not to stdout (#460), not enabled by defaultAddress
configuration parameter to specify the address to bind to (#460), not enabled by default
Behavior changes:
- mainnet configuration now has correct ports specified (#478)
- multiple connections to the same peer are disallowed now (as they are in C# node (#478))
- the default MaxPeers setting was increased to 100 for mainnet and testnet configurations and limited to 10 for privnet (#478)

- added wallet unit tests (#475)
- network.Peer's NetAddr method was split into RemoteAddr and PeerAddr (#478)
MakeDirForFile
function was added to theio
package (#470)
Bugs fixed:
- RPC service responded with block height to
getblockcount
request which differs from C# interpretation ofgetblockcount
(#471) getbestblockhash
RPC method response was not adding leading0x
prefix to the hash, while C# node does it- inability to correctly handshake clients on the server side (#458, #480)
- data race in
Server
structure fields access (#478) - MaxPeers configuration setting was not working properly (#478)
- useless DB reads (that failed in some cases) on persist attempt that didn't persist anything (#481)
- current header height was not stored in the DB when starting a new blockchain which lead to node failures on restart (#481)

0.61.0 "Cuspidation" (01 Nov 2019)
New features:
- Prometheus support for monitoring (#441)
neo-go contract invoke

) to specify RPC node to be used for invocation (#363)- RPC server now supports
invokescript
method (#348) - minimum peers number can now be configured (#468)
- configured CORS workaround implemented in the RPC package (#469)
Behavior changes:
neo-go contract inspect
now expects avm files in input, but can also compile Go code with-c
parameter (previously is was done by default),inspect
subcommand was removed fromneo-go vm
(it dumped avm files in previous release) (#463)- the default minimum peers was reduced to 3 for privnet setups to avoid useless reconnections to only 4 available nodes
- RPC service now has its own section in configuration, update your configurations (#469)
Improvements:

- NewFromRawBytes functions were renamed to NewFromASN1 in the keys package, previous naming made it easy to confuse them with functions operating with NEO serialization format (#418)
- PublicKey's IsInfinity method is exported now (#418)
- smartcontract package now has CreateSignatureRedeemScript() matching C# code (#418)
- vm package now has helper functions IsSignatureContract/IsMultiSigContract/IsStandardContract matching C# code (#418)

- persistence error message being printed twice (#409)
- segmentation fault upon receival of message that is not currently handled properly (like "consensus" message; #409)

- node failed to request blocks when headers list was exactly one position ahead of block count (#414)
- TestRPC/getassetstate_positive failed occasionally (#410)
- panic on block verification with no transactions inside (#415)
- DutyFlag check in GetScriptHashesForVerifying was not done correctly (#415)
- default asset expiration for assets created with Register TX was wrong, now it matches C# code (#415)
- Claim transactions needed specific GetScriptHashesForVerifying logic to be verified correctly (#415)
- VerifyWitnesses wasn't properly sorting hashes and witnesses (#415)
- transactions referring to two outputs of some other transaction were failing to verify (#415)

0.50.0 "Consolidation" (19 Sep 2019)
The first release from the new team focuses on bringing all related
development effort into one codebase, refactoring things, fixing some
long-standing bugs and adding new functionality. This release merges two
radically different development branches --- dev
and master
that were
present in the project (along with all associated pull requests) and also
brings in changes made to the compiler in the neo-storm project.
New features:
- configurable storage backends supporting LevelDB, in-memory DB (for testing) and Redis
- BoltDB support for storage backend
- updated and extended interop APIs (thanks to neo-storm)
Notable behavior changes:
- the default configuration for privnet was changed to use ports 20331 and 20332 so that it doesn't clash with the default dockerized neo-privnet setups
- the default configuration path was changed from
../config
to./config
, at this stage it makes life a bit easier for development, later this will be changed to some sane default for production version - VM CLI now supports type inference for
run
parameters (you don't need to specify types explicitly in most of the cases) and treatsoperation
parameter as mandatory if anything is passed torun
VM improvements:
- added implementation for
EQUAL
,NZ
,PICK
,TUCK
,XDROP
,INVERT
,CAT
,SUBSTR
,LEFT
,RIGHT
,UNPACK
,REVERSE
,REMOVE
- expanded tests
- better error messages for different erroneous code
- implemented item conversions following neo-vm behavior: array to/from struct, bigint to/from boolean, anything to bytearray and anything to boolean
- improved compatibility with neo-vm (#394)
Technical improvements:
- switched to Go 1.12+
- gofmt, golint (#213)
- fixed and improved CircleCI builds
- removed internal rfc6969 package (#285)
- refactored util/crypto/io packages, removed a lot of duplicating code
- updated READMEs and user-level documents
- update Makefile with useful targets
- dropped internal base58 implementation (#355)
- updated default seed lists for mainnet and testnet from neo-cli
Bugs fixed:
- a lot of compiler fixes from neo-storm
- data access race in memory-backed storage backend (#313)
- wrong comparison opcode emitted by compiler (#294)
- decoding error in
publish
transactions (#179) - decoding error in
invocation
transactions (#173) - panic in
state
transaction decoding - double VM run from CLI (#96)
- non-constant time crypto (#245)
- APPEND pushed value on the stack and worked for bytearrays (#391)
- reading overlapping hash blocks from the DB leading to blockchain state neo-go couldn't recover from (#393)
- codegen for
append()
wasn't type-aware and emitted wrong code (#395) - node wasn't trying to reconnect to other node if connection failed (#390)
- stricly follow handshare procedure (#396)
- leaked connections if disconnect happened before handshake completed (#396)
Inherited unreleased changes
Some changes were also done before transition to the new team, highlights are:
