## 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.

## 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

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

* 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:
* as with the previous release, this one changes the database format, so you
need to resynchronize your nodes

with neo-vm tests, #543)
Improvements:

## 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` and `Runtime.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 default
* `Address` 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)
Improvements:
* implemented missing VM constraints: stack item number limitation (#462) and
integer size checks (#484, #373)
* added a framework to run JSON-based neo-vm tests for C# VM and fixed all
remaining incompabitibilities (#196)
* added wallet unit tests (#475)
* network.Peer's NetAddr method was split into RemoteAddr and PeerAddr (#478)

Bugs fixed:
* RPC service responded with block height to `getblockcount` request which
differs from C# interpretation of `getblockcount` (#471)
* `getbestblockhash` RPC method response was not adding leading `0x` prefix
to the hash, while C# node does it

* 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)

## 0.51.0 "Confirmation" (17 Oct 2019)
With over a 100 commits made since 0.50.0 release 0.51.0 brings with it full
block verification, improved and fixed transaction verifications,
implementation of most of interop functions and VM improvements. Block
verification is an important milestone on the road to full consensus node
support and it required implementing a lot of other associated functionality.
New features:
* CHECKSIG, VERIFY and CHECKMULTISIG instructions in VM (#269)
* witness verification logic for transactions (#368)
* NEWMAP, HASKEY, KEYS and VALUES instructions, support for Map type in
PICKITEM, SETITEM, REMOVE, EQUAL, ARRAYSIZE (#359)
* configurable transaction verification on block addition (#415, #418)
* contract storage and support for VM to call contracts via APPCALL/TAILCALL
(#417)
* support for Interop type in VM (#417)
* VM now has stepInto/stepOver/stepOut method implementations for debugging
matching neo-vm behavior (#187)
* storage support for contracts (#418)
* added around 90% of interop functions (#418)
* Invocation TX processing now really does invoke contracts using internal VM
(#418)
* blocks are now completely verified when added to the chain (if not
configured otherwise; #12, #418)
Behavior changes:
* full block verification is now enabled for all network types
* block's transaction verification enabled for privnet setups, mainnet and
testnet don't have it enabled
Technical improvements:
* GetVarIntSize and GetVarStringSize were removed from the io package (use
GetVarSize instead; #408)
* OVER implementation was optimized to not pop the top element from the stack
(#406, part of #196 work)
* vm.VM was extended with HasFailed() method to check its state (previously
external VM users couldn't do it; #411)
* redesigned input block queue mechanism, now it's completely moved out of
the Blockchain, which only accepts the next block via AddBlock() (#414)
* unpersisted blocks are now fully available with the Blockchain (thus we
have symmetry now in AddBlock/GetBlock APIs; #414, #366)
* removed duplicating batch structures from BoltDB and Redis code, now all of
them use the same batch as MemoryStore does (#414)
* MemoryStore was exporting its mutex for no good reason, now it's hidden
(#414)
* storage layer now returns ErrKeyNotFound for all DBs in appropriate
situations (#414)
* VM's PopResult() now doesn't panic if there is no result (#417)
* VM's Element now has a Value() method to quickly get the item value (#417)
* VM's stack PushVal() method now accepts uint8/16/32/64 (#417, #418)

panic (for external VM users; #417)
* VM has now completely separated instruction read and execution phases
(#417)
* Store interface now has Delete method (#418)
* Store tests were reimplemented to use one test set for all Store
implementations, including LevelDB that was not tested at all previously
(#418)
* Batch interface doesn't have Len method now as it's not used at all (#418)
* New*FromRawBytes functions were renamed to New*FromASN1 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)
* Blockchain's GetBlock() now returns full block with transactions (#418)
* Block's Verify() was changed to return specific error (#418)
* Blockchain's GetTransationResults was renamed into GetTransactionResults
(#418)
* Blockchainer interface was extended with GetUnspentCoinState,
GetContractState and GetScriptHashesForVerifying methods (#418)
* introduced generic MemCacheStore that is used now for write caching
(including temporary stores for transaction processing) and batched
persistence (#425)
Bugs fixed:
* useless persistence failure message printed with no error (#409)
* persistence error message being printed twice (#409)
* segmentation fault upon receival of message that is not currently handled
properly (like "consensus" message; #409)
* BoltDB's Put for a batch wasn't copying data which could lead to data
corruption (#409)
* APPEND instruction applied to struct element was not copying it like neo-vm
does (#405, part of #196 work)
* EQUAL instruction was comparing array contents, while it should've compared
references (#405, part of #196 work)
* SUBSTR instruction was failing for out of bounds length parameters while it
should've truncated them to string length (#406, part of #196 work)
* SHL and SHR implementations had no limits, neo-vm restricts them to
-256/+256 (#406, part of #196 work)
* minor VM state mismatches with neo-vm on failures (#405, #406)
* deadlock on Blockchain init when headers pointer is not in sync with the
hashes list (#414)
* 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)
* wrong program dumps (#295)
* potential data race in logging code (#418)
* bogus port check during handshake (#432)
* missing max size checks in NEWARRAY, NEWSTRUCT, APPEND, PACK, SETITEM
(#427, part of #373)
## 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 treats `operation`
parameter as mandatory if anything is passed to `run`
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:
* improved RPC testing
* implemented `getaccountstate`, `validateaddress`, `getrawtransaction` and
`sendrawtransaction` RPC methods in server
* fixed `getaccountstate` RPC implementation
* implemented graceful blockchain shutdown with proper DB closing
## 0.45.14 (not really released, 05 Dec 2018)
This one can technically be found in the git history and attributed to commit
fa1da2cb917cf4dfccbe49d44c5741eec0e0bb65, but it has no tag in the repository
and so can't count as a properly released thing. Still it can be marked as a
point in history with the following changes relative to 0.44.10:
* switched to Go modules for dependency management
* various optimizations for basic structures like Uin160/Uint256/Fixed8
* improved testing
* added support for `invoke` method in RPC client
* implemented `getassetstate` in RPC server
* fixed NEP2Encrypt and added tests
* added `NewPrivateKeyFromRawBytes` function to the `wallet` package
## 0.44.10 (27 Sep 2018)
This is the last one tagged in the repository, so it's considered as the last
one properly released before 0.50+. Releases up to 0.44.10 seem to be made in
automated fashion and you can find their [changes on
GitHub](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/releases).
## 0.90.0 "Tantalization" (14 July 2020)
The first Neo 3 compatible release of neo-go! We've targeted to make it
compatible with preview2 release of Neo 3, so it only contains features
available there, but at the same time this makes the node more useful until we
have some more up to date reference version. It's a completely different
network, so almost everything has changed and it's hard to describe it with
the same level of details we usually do (but we'll provide them for subsequent
releases where the changeset is going to be lower in size). Please note that
this is a preview-level release and there won't be long-term support provided
for it, Neo 3 is evolving and the next release won't be compatible with this
one.
Main Neo 3 features in this release:
* no UTXO
* native contracts
* new VM
* scoped witnesses for transaction
* updated interop/syscalls set
* contract manifests
* more efficient P2P protocol
Things that have also changed:
* transaction format
* block format
* address format
* wallets
* RPC protocol
* notification subsystem
* executable format output for compiler
Compatibility level of this neo-go release:
* identical storage changes compared to C# node for 378K blocks of preview2
testnet
* debugging info produced is compatible with preview2-compatible neo-debugger
* running consensus nodes in heterogeneous setup is possible (2 neo-go CNs
with 2 C# CNs, for example)
Changes specific to neo-go:
* some CLI parameters like wallet path or RPC endpoint URL have been unified
across all commands and thus have changed in some of them (refer to CLI
help for details)
* as an extension we support post-preview2 cosigners parameter for
invokefunction RPC calls (see neo-project/neo-modules#260)
* Go compiler now supports comparisons with nil properly
* we no longer provide bootstrapping 6k block dump for private networks, you
have 30000000 GAS right in the genesis block and it's not hard to make use
of it (see
[neo-go-sc-wrkshp](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go-sc-wrkshp) for an
example of how to use it)
* we have a conversion tool for your old Neo 2 wallets (`wallet convert`
command), so you can reuse keys on Neo 3 networks
* util.Equals interop function may not function the way you expect it to due
to Neo VM changes, it still is an EQUAL opcode though. This interop may be
removed in the future.
## Older versions
Please refer to the [master-2.x branch
CHANGELOG](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/tree/master-2.x/CHANGELOG.md)
for versions prior to 0.90.0 (that are Neo 2 compatible, unlike 0.90.0+ that
are Neo 3 compatible).
