Geth v1.14.4 in a usual maintenance release, but it does ship a 5-7% block import speed improvement. Furthermore, v1.14.4 also finally includes an Ether supply live tracer, that you can enable via --vmtrace supply. Also please note, the default value for miner tip enforcement was dropped from 1 gwei to 0.001 gwei (block producers can change this via --miner.gasprice).
Shipped features:
Reduce the default required minimum miner tip from 1 gwei to 0.001 gwei to cater better for network conditions (#29895).
Load trie nodes concurrently with trie updates, speeding up block import by 5-7% (#29519, #29768, #29919).
Introduce an Ether supply tracker as a live chain tracer (#29347).
Implement Verkle stateless gas accounting (EIP-4762) (#29338).
Optimise trie dirty tracking to reduce disk loads a bit (#29731).
We're issuing this (v1.14.3) release to finally publish v1.14 on the Ubuntu PPA. It is otherwise identical to v1.14.2.
This is a maintenance release containing bug-fixes. In case you are wondering where v1.14.1 (and v1.14.2) went, let's just say, the continuous integration gods have not been good to us.
List of changes in detail:
Geth
When using geth --dev with a custom genesis block, the genesis file must now set difficulty and terminal total difficulty to zero. (#29579)
For fork scheduling errors in geth init, fork timestamps will now be printed correctly. (#29514)
Certain aspects of state handling are now parallelized resulting in a 5-10% speedup for block processing. (#29681)
