Breaking changes

• Bor chains: enable checkpoint sync by default (name: Astrid)
  • This uses the merkle data in Checkpoints & Milestines in the sync process rather than total difficulty.
  • The process should auto upgrade - in which case you may find that it starts creating new snapshots for checkpoints and milestones.
  • This may however fail, as there are a number of potential edge cases. If this happens the process will likely stop with a failure message.
  • In this situation you will need to do a clean sync, in which case the complete snapshot set will be downloaded and astrid will sync.
  • If you want to prevent this and retain the old behaviour start erigon with --polygon.sync=false
• caplin.backfilling.blobs, caplin.backfilling and caplin.archive are now --caplin.states-archive --capin.blobs-archive --caplin.blocks-archive

Description of the change

Erigon3 changes from Erigon2

• Initial sync doesn't re-exec from 0: downloading 99% LatestState and History
• Per-Transaction granularity of history (Erigon2 had per-block). Means:
  • Can execute 1 historical transaction - without executing it's block
  • If account X change V1->V2->V1 within 1 block (different transactions): debug_getModifiedAccountsByNumber return
    it
  • Erigon3 doesn't store Logs (aka Receipts) - it always re-executing historical txn (but it's cheaper)
• Validator mode: added. --internalcl is enabled by default. To disable use --externalcl.
• Built-in Bor Consens: named Astrid. Enabled by default. To disable use --polygon.sync=false. Require re-sync.
• --prune flags changed: see --prune.mode (default: full, archive: archive, EIP-4444: minimal)
• Store most of data in immutable files (segments/snapshots):
  • can symlink/mount latest state to fast drive and history to cheap drive
  • chaindata is less than 15gb. It's ok to rm -rf chaindata. (to prevent grow: recommend --batchSize <= 1G)
• Other changes:
  • ExecutionStage included many E2 stages: stage_hash_state, stage_trie, log_index, history_index, trace_index
  • Restart doesn't loose much partial progress: --sync.loop.block.limit=5_000 enabled by default

Require resync

• no

Notes:

• Starting with beta1 we're deprecating Caplin and Polygon support in Erigon 2

v2.60.10

Description of the change

Improvements:

• rpc p95: not reopen files when new created by @AskAlexSharov in #12514

Bugfixes:

• Trace API: commit state changes from InitializeBlockExecution by @yperbasis in #12559. Prior to this PR in callManyTransactions (invoked by trace_block) changes made by InitializeBlockExecution were discarded. That was immaterial before since no much was happening at the beginning of a block. But that changed in Dencun with EIP-4788. Fixes Issues #11871, #12092, #12242, #12432, #12473, and #12525.

Full Changelog: v2.60.9...v2.60.10

• From now onwards only the following three OS/Arch are supported: linux arm64, amd64(v1) and amd64v2
