Overview
This release provides performance improvements and network stability, as well as includes other enhancements and upgrades. Note that the AVM changes while present in the codebase, are in fact 'consensus-gated'; they will be available upon the next consensus upgrade.
Important Note: For performance reasons, we no longer report extra details for failed app transactions by default. This was useful if you were debugging a smart contract, but also had a significant processing performance impact. This behavior is still available if you use the developer API by setting EnableDeveloperAPI: true.
What's New
- New block header API endpoint (to support reward-related queries)
- Improve performance and optimize networking
- Upgrade golang to 1.23
