Geth v1.10.20 is a maintenance release, adding built-in configuration for the merge fork on the Sepolia testnet.
Specifically, this release defines a terminal total difficulty for Sepolia (#25179).
Geth command changes
Geth and most other command-line tools now use a newer version of the command-line argument/flag handling library. There is one new restriction with this change: flags must now be given before other arguments. Very few of Geth's subcommands take arguments, so this is unlikely to cause issues. (#24751)
The new --discovery.port flag allows configuring a separate port for the UDP listener. (#24979)
Setting p2p bootstrap nodes in the config file now works even when a pre-defined network is selected on the command-line. (#25174)
RPC API changes
eth_chainId now always returns the configured chain ID regardless of sync status. This is a violation of EIP-695, but the previous behavior caused issues with CL clients. (#25166, #25168)
Transaction objects returned by RPC (e.g. from eth_getTransactionByHash) now always include the chainId field, even for untyped (legacy) transactions. (#25155)
The deprecated RPC method personal_signAndSendTransaction has been removed. (#25111)
Handling of certain reorg corner cases is improved in the Engine API. (#25187, #25139)
A performance regression in JS tracing is resolved. (#25156)
Build changes
Bash and zsh completions are now installed by the geth Ubuntu package. (#25195, #25204)
For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.10.20 release milestone
As with all our previous releases, you can find the:
Pre-built binaries for all platforms on our downloads page.
The release contains the Gray Glacier fork definition. The Gray Glacier fork is a difficulty-bomb postponement, which is expected to go live on Ethereum Mainnet towards the end of June.
In other words: all users are required to upgrade before the Gray Glacier hardfork activates at block 15050000 (#25088)
Changes which may cause incompatibilities:
The engine API is now only available with JWT authentication.
Geth will refuse to start if legacy receipts are present in the database. The check can be disabled with --ignore-legacy-receipts, but we strongly recommend you run the conversion in this case (#24943).
The RPC method debug_traceCall will now reject execution against the pending block (#24871).
RPC timer metrics have been changed into histograms (#25044).
