v2020.10.01-alpha

Known Issues

2020.10.01 does not work on Alpine Linux, so we temporarily switched to using Ubuntu in Docker images.

We will restore Alpine as soon as possible: #1165

Changelog

• eth_getLogs is now using Roaring Bitmaps resulting in 2x to 10x performance improvements.

• progress implementing trace_ API calls: #1119

• fix compilation on machines with GOPATH not set

• fix crashes of the RPC daemon when it reads directly from the chaindata

• began documenting our code at https://turbo-geth.readthedocs.io

It should be the same if building on Linux with go 1.15.

v2020.09.04-alpha

Changelog

• Adding info about block rewards to the RPC daemon

• Experimental mTLS between the RPC daemon and the core app (thanks to @Giulio2002)
