Release Notes

Trinity is moving fast. Read up on all the latest improvements.

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.37 (2021-03-24)

Features

  • During Beam Sync, Trinity now collects account data that is not touched by active blocks. We often call this “state backfill”. Obtaining the full state is the best way to make sure that your node cannot be knocked offline with a Denial-of-Service attack that accesses a bunch of state in a series of blocks. (#854)
  • Keep up with the tip of the chain a bit better. (By also listening to NewBlockHashes) (#1791)
  • Make the JSON-RPC API HTTP listen address configurable via --http-listen-address (#1795)
  • Rename --rpcport to --http-port to better align with related flags (#1803)
  • Only print JSON HTTP API request access logs when Trinity runs with DEBUG2 logs. (#1804)
  • Implement backfill of historical blocks during Beam Sync. The backfill automatically pauses if Beam Sync starts lagging behind and resumes as soon as it catches up again. It can also be disabled altogether via the --disable-backfill flag. (#1819)
  • Implement minimal viable eth_sendRawTransaction JSON-RPC API (#1855)
  • Show state backfill progress as info logs (#1872)
  • Make eth_getTransactionCount work during Beam Sync by requesting state on-demand from peers. (#1873)
  • Implement pause/resume for historical header backfill. The backfill will pause if Beam Sync starts lagging too far behind and will resume as it catches up again. (#1879)
  • Trinity on DappNode: Ensure sync progress is displayed on the dashboard. (#1909)
  • Make it configurable which JSON-RPC modules are exposed via HTTP. Prior to this change, every JSON-RPC module was exposed via HTTP if Trinity was instructed to run with the HTTP server enabled. With this change, the HTTP server is enabled via the --enable-http-apis flag which takes a string value of either "*" to expose every module via HTTP or a comma seperated list of module names e.g. "eth, net". (#1911)
  • Track block and header db health in metrics. (#2022)
  • Report Beam Sync pivot rate to metrics for visualization on grafana dashboard. (#2040)
  • Implement a preferred node component to support preferred nodes with discovery disabled. (#2051)
  • Introduce NewBlockComponent to be a better p2p participant. By rebroadcasting blocks as they are received from peers, and after they have been imported. (#2058)
  • Ensure Clique checkpoints align to epoch length when resolving via etherscan. (#2072)
  • Add support for the eth_chainId RPC endpoint. (#2076)
  • Support admin_removePeer RPC endpoint. (#2077)
  • Add support for Berlin, from py-evm v0.4.0-alpha.1 through v0.4.0-alpha.3 (#2126)

Bugfixes

  • Beam Sync hung indefinitely if your best peer gave you an empty response for state data, and it was your only peer. Now, Beam Sync recovers gracefully and the best peer is asked for state data again, after a brief pause. (#1811)
  • Syncing seemed to race ahead and halt and race ahead. Header and block body buffering was reworked to run a bit smoother. (#1820)
  • Fix for when a connection is lost while sending Pong: p2p.exceptions.PeerConnectionLost: Attempted to send msg with cmd id 3 to ... (#1821)
  • Apply UPnP to TCP as well. (#1829)
  • Crash-fix, when Beam Sync’s target block is numbered 2 through 7. (#1830)
  • Only return unique trie nodes in NodeData responses to peers. Before this fix, Trinity<->Trinity connections where one sends a GetNodeData with duplicate hashes would cause the receiving end to never get the response. (it failed a validation check, and couldn’t be certain the response was even intended for the given request) (#1834)
  • Catch and resolve PeerConnectionLost during stream_transport_messages() (#1846)
  • Ensure we do not relay transactions with mismatching chain id (#1855)
  • Log a user-friendly message on JSON-RPC API errors (#1870)
  • Catch exception and present user friendly error when a request for an receipt to an unknown transaction is send to the eth_getTransactionReceipt API. (#1871)
  • Ensure JSON-RPC API do work with hexadecimal block identifier during Beam Sync (#1873)
  • Fix ConnectionBusy exception taking whole node down. The fix makes it so that additional GetBlockHeaders request (for historical backfill) are allowed to be queued up. (#1879)
  • Handle error (don’t crash Trinity) when metrics can’t be written to the InfluxDB because of any connection errors. (#1903)
  • Make logs a little cleaner by not including stack traces in warnings that are generated by hitting missing RPC endpoints. (#1913)
  • Fix a crash when a NEIGHBORS packet contains invalid node records. We also no longer process unsolicited NEIGHBORS packets. (#1995)
  • Fix the QueueFull error raised occasionally during sync. (#2027)
  • No longer skip preferred peers from list of connection candidates (#2035)
  • Use asks library for asyncio service http requests. (#2069)
  • Handle error in system metrics collecting for dead processes. (#2083)
  • Update EIP1085 validation utils to strictly enforce address formatting. (#2086)
  • Update header validation strategy in NewBlock component to support multiple consensus types. (#2089)
  • Fix crash when Trinity was launched with a checkpoint too close from tip in Beam Sync mode (#2091)

Performance improvements

  • Speed up block import during Beam Sync using “Spread Beam”. It asks multiple peers for the trie node data that’s on the critical path for importing the current block. (#1101)
  • Speed up Beam Sync a bit by only asking for critical state data from our fastest peer, instead of bundling in the state data needed for pending blocks. (#1947)
  • Stop holding the event loop for so long when downloading state for Beam Sync. It was causing performance issues. (#1984)
  • Transmit the logs to the logging aggregator process in a separate thread. This helps avoid holding the async event loop for too long. (#1989)
  • Move the last of the Beam state download database calls out of the event loop. (#1990)
  • Move command decoding out of the event loop. (#1991)
  • More cooperative asyncio coroutines in a few places. (#1992)

Improved Documentation

  • Mention Görli support in docs (homepage + cookbook) (#1780)
  • Now logs more information during Beam Sync about the intermediate progress in the middle of a block. (#1916)
  • Display the JSON-RPC API URL on the DappNode package view (#2009)
  • Extend the DappNode guide with a paragraph that explains how to connect Trinity to DappNode’s default Geth node. (#2012)
  • Trinity on DappNode:
    • Ensure the package uses the timezone of the host machine. This is to ensure the reported logs use the correct time and match the reported metrics.
    • Allow HTTP requests from external addresses. This ensures the DappNode dashboard can show syncing progress and users can perform requests against the node. Note that the DappNode itself is shielded from the external world and only allows access via VPN or its own local W-LAN.
    • Don’t map Trinity’s source directory as volume because it is preventing us from having clean updates. (#2013)
  • Create make create-dev-dappnode-image command to make the creation of temporary dappnode packages easier and reduce the chances of human error. (#2030)

Deprecations and Removals

  • BREAKING CHANGE: The --enable-http flag is no longer supported, use --enable-http-apis instead. Read the “feature” section for more information. (#1911)

Internal Changes - for Trinity Contributors

  • Make TaskQueue.complete() async (#1997)
  • Upgrade some dependencies: geth to v1.10.0, eth-tester to v0.5.0-beta.3, pytest-xdist to v1.34.0, and coincurve to v15. Also fixed a couple flaky tests and removed the geth bootnodes (because of unresolved issues on Trinity’s end, probably partially due to not having an eth/66 implementation). (#2124)
  • Refactored transaction handling into an obaque blob. Previousy, code assumed a fixed transaction shape of a list of bytes, which is no longer accurate (as of EIP-2930). Also, don’t default maxfail=10 locally, and squash a couple test warnings. (#2215)

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.36 (2020-06-18)

Features

  • Implement admin_peers JSON-RPC API (#1491)

  • Implement basic metrics tracking. With this change Trinity supports collecting and writing metrics to InfluxDB to be further processed and visualized by Grafana.

    Run Trinity with --enable-metrics --metrics-host "mymachine" and provide the Influx server and password via the following two environment variables:

    • TRINITY_METRICS_INFLUX_DB_SERVER
    • TRINITY_METRICS_INFLUX_DB_PW (#1569)

  • Monitor the total number of incoming and outgoing packets in Influx/Grafana (#1595)

  • Monitor the number of peers in Grafana (#1599)

  • The –ethstats flag is now named –enable-ethstats to improve consistency. (#1604)

  • Don’t let CompressedLengthError escape and be written to the console. (#1606)

  • Add partial support for eth/65. Recognize the protocol with its new commands and support it across all internal infrastructure. The built-in “transaction pool” does not yet use the NewPooledTransactionHashes command yet and answers GetPooledTransactions with empty responses. (#1627)

  • Allow for Influxdb port & protocol to be configured via cli arguments. (#1680)

  • Upgrade to py-evm v0.3.0-alpha.15 – gives access to block state witnesses (#1681)

  • Support reporting of the current head for connected peers to influx / grafana. (#1699)

  • Rename --beam-from-checkpoint to --sync-from-checkpoint

    Ensure sync related flags show up under --sync-mode section in --help

    Add new --sync-mode header to only sync the header chain on the ETH network. This does also support launching from a checkpoint via --sync-from-checkpoint flag. (#1707)

  • Report trinity process and thread count to grafana. (#1713)

  • Implement backfilling of gaps in the header chain (introduced through checkpointing) for sync modes header and beam. This background job can be disable via the --disable-backfill flag. (#1714)

  • Upgraded py-evm to v0.3.0-alpha.16 – See py-evm v0.3.0-alpha.16 release notes (#1761)

  • Upgraded py-evm to v0.3.0-alpha.17 – See py-evm v0.3.0-alpha.17 release notes (#1768)

  • Increase the tip distance for etherscan checkpoint resolving from 50 to 5000 blocks. (#1781)

Bugfixes

  • Fix the propagation of transactions which was broken when the transaction pool was moved into an isolated component.

    Also the transaction pool tests now do assertions based on what the remote pool actually receives instead of based on what we appear to be sending out. (#1649)

  • Squash some deprecation warnings, by upgrading to eth-keys v0.3.3, eth-tester v0.4.0-beta.2, and web3.py v5.9.0 (#1724)

  • Return checksum address for to field in eth_getTransactionReceipt RPC API (#1749)

  • Fix etherscan checkpoint resolving for Ropsten and Görli. (#1782)

  • Fix Beam Sync crashing when running under Clique consensus (e.g. Görli) (#1786)

Improved Documentation

  • Add API docs for various proxy events under trinity.protocol.* (#1633)
  • Add a guide on how to setup local monitoring with InfluxDB and Grafana (#1659)
  • Add cookbook recipe on how to sync from a trusted checkpoint. (#1779)

Deprecations and Removals

  • Drop support for Python 3.6 making Python 3.7 the minimal supported Python version. (#1675)

Internal Changes - for Trinity Contributors

  • Remove test that scans for unhandled errors when the transaction pool is disabled. Disabling the transaction pool is unlikely to increase the chance of error. (#1611)

  • Upgrade latest lahja 0.16.0

    With the new release the event bus raises exceptions if events or requests are send into the void, meaning when no active subscribers exist. This can be explicitly allowed if desired by setting require_subscriber to False when broadcasting events or making requests. (#1653)

  • Improve test coverage of Ethereum Wire Protocol making sure that certain tests ran across all supported protocols from ETH/63 to ETH/65. (#1672)

  • Run RPC API tests against Istanbul fixtures (#1749)

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.35 (2020-03-03)

Features

  • We now “pivot” Beam Sync if we fall too many blocks behind. When a naive (non-pivoting) Beam Sync falls too far behind the tip of the chain, it can get “stuck” because the trie data is no longer available from peers. (#908)

  • Add support for networks that run under Clique consensus. Add support for syncing the Görli network via –goerli flag. (#1196)

  • Support include_transactions param in eth_getBlockBy* APIs (#1465)

  • Improve error message for when the parameters to JSON-RPC calls are invalid

    Improve error message for eth_getWork, eth_submitWork and eth_submitHashrate APIs which Trinity does not support as it generally does not support mining operations.

    Change eth_hashrate and eth_coinbase to also return errors instead of default values. (#1475)

  • Upgrade to py-evm v0.3.0-alpha.14 (#1478)

  • Implement admin_nodeInfo JSON-RPC endpoint (#1503)

  • Implement the eth/64 networking protocol according to EIP 2124 (#1543)

  • Add support for Etherscan API keys to continue support for the --beam-from-checkpoint eth://block/byetherscan/latest flag now that Etherscan has made API keys mandatory. API keys need to be exposed via the TRINITY_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY environment variable. (#1565)

Bugfixes

  • The p2p.abc.TransportAPI.close and p2p.abc.MultiplexerAPI.close methods are now coroutines to allow p2p.abc.TransportAPI.close() to drain the underlying StreamWriter before closing it, ensuring that any pending messages are written over the socket before closing it. (#1417)
  • Ensure validation errors in components are properly handled during bootstrap. (#1486)
  • Fix broken API docs on https://trinity-client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/ (#1510)
  • PeerConnectionLost was escaping during a highest_td_peer call, and crashing whatever called it. The exception is now caught. (#1524)
  • Catch a variety of uncaught exceptions: asyncio.TimeoutError, UnknownAPI, PeerConnectionLost, OSError, ValidationError, CorruptTransport. Also, prevent AttributeError when printing a p2p.kademlia.Node that has no address. (#1545)
  • Catch a PeerConnectionLost raised when: disconnecting from a peer for sending a malformed message, and another one when finding the fastest peer. Reject handshake attempts when the IP address is unknown. Catch a CorruptTransport, raised during multiplex. (#1548)

Performance improvements

  • Exit a bit more quickly from Beam Sync, by cancelling any hanging requests for state data. This prevents a 5 second wait and timeout in the BaseService. (#1545)

Internal Changes - for Trinity Contributors

  • Less noisy logs when adding peers. Only show INFO logs when you have fewer than 5 peers. (#1567)

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.34 (2019-12-23)

Features

  • Full rework of Component APIs. CLI validation is now done during application initialization. Component lifecycle is well defined and simpler to implement. (#1328)

  • Add support for eth_getTransactionReceipt JSON-RPC API

    See: https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JSON-RPC#eth_gettransactionreceipt (#1337)

  • AsyncioIsolatedComponent no longer uses the standard libary multiprocessing for process isolation, in favor of using the more async friendly asyncio-run-in-process (#1363)

  • Underlying web3 module changed from v4 to v5, including in the console. (#1383)

  • End JSON-RPC responses with n to support dopple. (#1388)

  • Upgrade Py-EVM and add support for Muir Glacier fork (#1409)

Bugfixes

  • Ensure eth_getStorageAt pads results to 32 byte

    See Spec or Geth Example (#1403)

  • Catch exception leaking out of the UpnpService and log it as warning. (#1410)

Performance improvements

  • Refactor Component APIs to support concurrent starting and stopping. (#1328)

Internal Changes - for Trinity Contributors

  • Test Trinity against Istanbul tests (#1372)

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.33 (2019-12-12)

Bugfixes

Internal Changes - for Trinity Contributors

  • Fix flaky interactive web3 console test

    Due to the way components cross connect to each other, not all logs of that startup routine are happening deterministically. We were waiting on a log that would sometimes never show up for all valid reason. This test is now based on a log that is guaranteed to show up unless a serious bug happened. (#1382)

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.32 (2019-12-09)

Bugfixes

  • Upgrade py-evm to v0.3.0-alpha.10, for critical Istanbul bugfix, related to net gas metering. (#1893)

  • Only allow a single connection per peer, even if an outgoing and incoming handshake are initiated simultaneously. Bonus: squashed UnknownAPI log when talking to a peer that is disconnecting. (#1352)

  • Quiet down a flood of BrokenPipeError that occasionally triggers on shutdown during Beam Sync. (#1355)

  • Ensure ThreadPoolExecutor in beam importer is set up with contextmanager

    Without contextmanager one needs to manually call shutdown on the executor which we weren’t doing either. This change may fix some warnings during shutdown of the client. (#1371)

Performance improvements

  • Speed up the TxPool shutdown a bit: it had hanging tasks that we were waiting 5s to force-close. (#1356)

Improved Documentation

  • Add Matomo Tracking to Docs site.

    Matomo is an Open Source web analytics platform that allows us to get better insights and optimize for our audience without the negative consequences of other compareable platforms.

    Read more: https://matomo.org/why-matomo/ (#1365)

Internal Changes - for Trinity Contributors

  • Beam Sync now warns in the logs when it skips ahead of headers (relying on light-client-style verification of older headers). (#1356)

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.31 (2019-12-04)

Features

  • Upgrade py-evm to v0.3.0-alpha.9, which includes consensus-sensitive Istanbul fix. See the py-evm release notes (#1343)
  • Add export and import command that lets one export blocks to a file or import blocks from a file. (#1266)
  • Properly handle Ropsten and Goerli when using –beam-from-checkpoint eth://block/byetherscan/latest to resolve a checkpoint. Also, propagate a proper error to the user in case the syntax is used for an unsupported networḱ. (#1269)
  • Automatically rotate logfiles across runs (#1294)
  • Add support for eth_getTransactionByHash JSON-RPC API (#1329)
  • When resuming Beam Sync, prefer to pick up from the canonical tip, if it’s not too far behind. (#1349)

Bugfixes

  • Turn leaking exceptions into properly formatted user errors. (#1269)

Performance improvements

  • Speed up Beam Sync shutdown, and second launch from checkpoint (#1345)

Deprecations and Removals

  • Removed experimental support for discovery v5 protocol (#1314)

Internal Changes - for Trinity Contributors

  • Show more helpful information in logs, like:
    • show peer info in more logs and exceptions
    • add extra information about exception context & cause
    • show eth_api stats in the “Peer details” again
    • show which service is stuck waiting on subservices (#1344)
  • Collapse log spam about missing trie nodes (#1345)

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.30 (2019-11-13)

Features

Bugfixes

  • Fix JSON-RPC eth_syncing endpoint that was accidentally removed in v0.1.0-alpha.23 (#765)

Internal Changes - for Trinity Contributors

  • Refactor handling and code organization of pre-configured networks to make it easier to add support for new networks. (#1260)

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.29 (2019-09-30)

Features

  • Added Istanbul block number to default Ropsten configuration: 6485846 (#907)
  • Upgrade ipython shell to 7.8.0 which supports async / await hence improves the UI/UX of trinity attach and trinity db-shell. (#1203)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed handshake bug that caused all inbound connections to fail with: "AttributeError: 'Session' object has no attribute 'address'" (#1129)
  • Ensure EthStatsService properly handles lost connections to the server (#1139)

Improved Documentation

  • Document how to install, run and develop with the Trinity DappNode package. (#1082)

Internal Changes - for Trinity Contributors

  • Add a make create-dappnode-image command to expose Trinity as a DappNode package. The package can be found as trinity.public.dappnode.eth. (#1082)
  • Plugins are now called Components. We’ve found Components to be a better term for the provided functionality, especially since it is less loaded with the assumption of being something that optionally extends functionality when in reality Trinity’s core functionality is built out of Components. (#1140)
  • Add ConnectionAPI.get_protocol_for_command_type (#1145)
  • Add ConnectionAPI.get_receipt_by_type(receipt_type: Type[ReceiptAPI]) API (#1148)
  • The ConnectionAPI now has a mirrored version of MultiplexerAPI.has_protocol via ConnectionAPI.has_protocol (#1181)

Miscellaneous changes

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.28 (2019-09-12)

Features

  • Remove Trinity specific subclass of the lahja endpoint in favor of using the core EndpointAPI everywhere. The previous functionality from the TrinityEventBusEndpoint is now handled by a special service designed to manage the endpoint lifecycle. (#672)

  • Allow trinity db-shell to inspect the beacon node (#809)

  • Expose NewBlockEvent on the event bus. (#822)

  • Add p2p.p2p_proto.P2PProtocol.send_ping and p2p.p2p_proto.P2PProtocol.send_hello methods. (#826)

  • Add p2p.peer.receive_handshake to encapsulate the logic for handling incoming connections. (#828)

  • The p2p.p2p_proto.P2PProtocol class now requires that handshake parameters be passed into the send_handshake method. These parameters are now part of the p2p.peer.BasePeerContext class. (#829)

  • Add a new p2p.tools.factories.TransportPairFactory for generating directly connected p2p.transport.Transport objects. (#830)

  • Add p2p.multiplexer.Multiplexer for combining the commands from different devp2p sub-protocols into a single network write stream, and split the incoming network stream into individually retrievable sub-protocol commands. (#835)

  • Adds p2p.protocol.get_cmd_offsets helper function for computing the command id offsets for devp2p protocols (#836)

  • Use the p2p.multiplexer.Multiplexer within the BasePeer to handle the incoming message stream. (#847)

  • Add factories for creating devp2p protocols and commands for testing. (#850)

  • Beam Sync: parallel execution of blocks. When connected to a peer on a local network, can now keep up with mainnet (assuming a beefy machine). Also added beam stats in the logs. (#855)

  • Replace multiprocessing based database access with a custom implementation that increases database access performance by 1.5-2x (#859)

  • Implement p2p.handshake API. This provides a generic interface for performing proper DevP2p handshakes using multiple sub-protocols without needing involvement of the BasePeer. (#869)

  • Use the new p2p.handshake APIs in the p2p.peer.BasePeer handshake logic. (#887)

  • If Trinity is Beam Sync and a call to eth_getBalance requests data which is not in the local database, Trinity asks for the data over the network. (#894)

  • Speculative Execution in Beam Sync: split block transactions to run them in parallel, for speedup. (#899)

  • Allow Beam Sync to start from a trusted checkpoint. Specify a checkpoint via CLI parameter such as:

    --beam-from-checkpoint="eth://block/byhash/<hash>?score=<score>"

    When given, Beam Sync will use this as a checkpoint to avoid having to download the entire chain of headers first. (#921)

  • Expose the force-beam-block-number config as a command line parameter. The config is useful for testing to force Beam Sync to activate on a given block number. (#923)

  • Add p2p_version to p2p.peer.BasePeerContext properties and use for handshake. (#931)

  • If eth_getCode is called during Beam Sync but the requested data is not available locally trinity will attempt to fetch the requested data from remote peers. (#944)

  • Beam Sync: start backfilling data, especially as a way to gather performance data about peers, and improve the performance of Beam Sync importing. (#951)

  • Add p2p.service.run_service which implements a context manager API for running a p2p.service.BaseService. (#955)

  • Add p2p.connection.Connection service which actively manages the p2p.multiplexer.Multiplexer exposing an API for registering handler callbacks for individuall protocol commands or entire protocols, as well as access to general metadata about the p2p connection. (#956)

  • If eth_getStorageAt is called during Beam Sync but the requested data is not available locally trinity will attempt to fetch the requested data from remote peers. (#957)

  • p2p.peer.BasePeer now uses ConnectionAPI for underlying protocol interactions. (#962)

  • Allow Trinity to automatically resolve a checkpoint through the etherscan API using this syntax: --beam-from-checkpoint="eth://block/byetherscan/latest" (#963)

  • Fetch missing data from remote peers, if requested over json-rpc during Beam Sync. Requests for data at an old block will fail; remote peers probably don’t have it. (#975)

  • Expose the MiningChain on the db-shell REPL to allow creating blocks on a REPL (#977)

  • Add ConnectionAPI.get_p2p_receipt for fetching the HandshakeReceipt for the base p2p protocol. (#986)

  • p2p.protocol.Protocol.supports_command is now a classmethod (#987)

  • The HandlerSubscriptionAPI now supports a context manager interface, removing/cancelling the subscription when the context exits (#989)

  • Handler functions for Connection.add_protocol_handler and Connection.add_command_handler now expect the Connection instance as the first argument. (#990)

  • Introduce p2p.session.Session which is now used in place of the remote to identify peers in the peer pool. (#1054)

  • Add HTTPServer for JSON-RPC over HTTP APIs. (#1078)

  • Make beam the default sync strategy and remove fast sync. (#1084)

  • Detect if a checkpoint is too close to the tip and delay sync until we have reached a minimum distance to the tip. (#1107)

Bugfixes

  • Proper cancellation of subtasks upon cancellation of p2p.service.BaseService (#809)

  • The recently introduced fix that ensures we do not run multiple concurrent handshakes to the same peer accidentially introduced a (rarely exposed) memory leak. This fix introduces a ResourceLock and refactores the code to use it to also fix the previously introduced memory leak. (#811)

  • Fix issue where test state was leaking between tests in tests/p2p/test_discovery.py (#839)

  • Beam Sync: Serve node data requests in parallel, instead of series (#857)

  • Fix for DEBUG2 logs always being shown irrespective of log level. (#860)

  • Beam Sync stats: Count the extra single node that is sometimes required when downloading the nodes needed to look up an account or storage. (Usually because of a trie reorg) (#877)

  • Fixes issue with Trinity not shutting down when issues a CTRL+C. (#878)

  • Fix __str__ implementation of BaseProxyPeer to properly represent the p2p.kademlia.Node URI. (#881)

  • Add missing field from to the response of RPC calls eth_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex and eth_getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex. (#889)

  • Ensure --profile parameter takes profiles of every process (#891)

  • Handle escaping PeerConnectionLost exception from Multiplexer in BasePeer (#895)

  • Fix JSON-RPC call eth_getBalance(address, block_number) to return balance at the requested block_number. Earlier it would always return balance at block(0). (#900)

  • Fix a MissingTrieNode exception when the first imported block has an uncle (#909)

  • Handles MalformedMessage and TimeoutError exceptions that can occur while multiplexing the devp2p connection (#916)

  • Fix type hints so that max_headers is recognized as keyword argument to get_block_headers. (#921)

  • BootManager now uses the BasePeer.loop as well as their cancel token. (#926)

  • Fix a deadlock bug: if you request data from a peer at just the wrong moment, the request would hang forever. Now, it correctly raises an OperationCancelled. (#932)

  • ETHHandshakeReceipt and LESHandshakeReceipt now properly accept their protocol instances in their constructors. (#934)

  • Pin lahja==0.14.0 until connection timeout issue is resolved. (#936)

  • Beam Sync: catch the TimeoutError that was escaping, and retry (#939)

  • Ensure the BasePeer negotiates the proper base protocol. (#942)

  • Capture PeerConnectionLost in more places, especially sync. (#943)

  • Beam Sync: Sometimes we would get stuck using a bad peer for node retrieval, fixed. Sometimes we would stop asking for predicted trie nodes when we don’t have any immediate nodes to ask for, fixed. (#958)

  • Fix p2p.tools.factories.MultiplexerPairFactory negotiation of p2p protocol version. (#964)

  • Add missing exception handling inside of Connection.run for PeerConnectionLost exception that bubbles from multiplexer. Connection is now responsible for calling Multiplexer.close on shutdown. Detect a closed connection during handshake. (#992)

  • Fix P2PProtocol.send_disconnect to accept enum values from p2p.disconnect.DisconnectReason (#994)

  • Instead of the ProcessPoolExecutor use a ThreadPoolExecutor to normalize expensive messages. This fixes a bug where Trinity would leave idle processes from the ProcessPoolExecutor behind every time it shuts down after a sync.

    Performance wise, both methods should be roughly compareable and since many task have already been moved to their own managed processes over time, using a ThreadPoolExecutor strikes as a simple solution to fix that bug. (#1004)

  • Fix a bug where trying to start Beam Sync from a checkpoint would throw an error due to an uninitialized var if a request to a peer would raise an error while we are trying to resolve a header from it. (#1005)

  • Fix for TrioService.run_task to ensure that when a background task throws an unhandled exception that it causes full service cancellation and that the exception is propagated. (#1040)

  • Fix issue where Trinity does not recognize and disconnect from ETC peers when it is being used as an ETH client (#1050)

  • Handle MalformedMessage rising out of the Transport in the Connection. (#1051)

  • Ensure discovery V4 handles invalid command ids gracefully (#1063)

  • Fix issue where attempts to establish new peer connections would halt shortly after startup due to missing timeout when attempting to dial a peer. (#1069)

  • An exception while serving peer requests would crash out the peer pool event server. Now it doesn’t crash, but logs a big red error (and catches innocuous exceptions, early on). (#1074)

  • An occasional warning “ValidationError: Duplicate tasks detected” was crashing the node. It’s recoverable, so log it, but don’t crash. (#1083)

  • Fix warning on ethstats.net due to incorrectly reported API version number. (#1094)

  • Fix warning caused by inappropriate call to cancel_nowait. (#99999)

Performance improvements

  • Immediately insert Beam Sync nodes that are “predicted” (soon to be used during parallel execution) This saves a round trip on live execution, when parallel execution already downloaded a node. Also, more aggressively make predictive requests if no urgent requests are waiting in the queue. (#877)
  • Previously, we gave up on predicted nodes that were not returned by a peer. Now we retry them, which helps make sure we aren’t missing any nodes at block import time. (#932)
  • During Beam Sync previews, be sure to collect the nodes required to generate the new state root, rather than wait until it’s time to import the block. (#933)

Improved Documentation

  • Add a “Performance improvements” section to the release notes (#884)
  • Cleanup Quickstart and start a Cookbook with small recipes (#890)
  • Cover --profile parameter in Cookbook (#891)
  • Add a guide on how to create a custom developer testnet using a genesis configuration file (#1037)

Deprecations and Removals

  • Remove p2p._utils.clamp in favor of the one from eth-utils>=1.5.2 (#832)
  • Remove unused token argument from p2p.tools.memory_transport.MemoryTransport constructor (#838)
  • Remove legacy tests from core application code. (#882)
  • Remove the FakeAsync... classes from tests in favor of using the real versions for things like chain and database objects (#949)

Miscellaneous internal changes

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.27 (2019-07-17)

Bugfixes

Misc

Trinity 0.1.0-alpha.26 (2019-07-16)

Features

  • Expose certain peer pool events and move RequestServer into an isolated plugin (#617)
  • Run UPnP Service as an isolated plugin (plus #730 fixup) (#636)
  • Log the gap time between the imported header and now; don’t blast screen with logs when regular syncing a lot (#646)
  • Make logging config more ergonomic, flexible and consistent (#682)
  • In-memory Transport for use in testing. (#693)
  • Expose events for Transaction and NewBlockHashes commands on the EventBus (#696)
  • Use trinity db-shell to connect to a running process and inspect its database (#728)
  • Pool management upgrades
    • Move TransactionPool into its own process
    • Create ProxyPeerPool that partially exposes peer pool functionality to any process (#734)
  • Move responsibility for receiving handshake into p2p.transport.Transport class. (#755)
  • Trinity can now autocomplete CLI parameters on <tab>. Learn how to activate autocomplete in the docs. (#768)
  • Implement p2p.trio_service.Service abstraction using trio as a loose replacement for the existing asyncio based p2p.service.BaseService. (#790)
  • trinity attach can now accept path to ipc as parameter Learn more docs. (#796)

Bugfixes

  • Header syncing is now limited in how far ahead of block sync it will go (#704)
  • Prevent KeyError exception raised at del self._dependencies[prune_task_id] during syncing (#731)
  • Fix a race condition in Trinity’s event bus announcement ceremony (#763)
  • Several very uncommon issues during syncing, more likely during Beam Sync (#772)
  • Squashed bug that redownloads block bodies and logs this warning: ValidationError: Cannot finish prereq BlockImportPrereqs.StoreBlockBodies of task (#780)
  • When starting Beam Sync, download previous six block bodies, so that uncle validation can succeed. Import needs to verify that new block imports don’t add uncles that were already added. (#803)

Improved Documentation

  • Setup towncrier to generate release notes from fragment files to ensure a higher standard for release notes. (#754)
  • Cover trinity.protocol events in API docs (#766)
  • Cover TrinityConfig, Eth1AppConfig and BeaconAppConfig in API docs. (#775)
  • Improve layout of API docs by grouping classmethods, methods and attributes. (#778)
  • In the API docs display class methods, static methods and methods as one group “methods”. While we ideally wish to separate these, Sphinx keeps them all as one group which we’ll be following until we find a better option. (#794)

Deprecations and Removals

  • Plugin removals
    • Remove BaseAsyncStopPlugin which isn’t needed anymore now that there is no hardwired networking process anymore.
    • Remove plugin manager scopes which aren’t needed anymore now that there is only a single PluginManager. (#763)
  • The get_chain_config API was moved from the TrinityConfig to the Eth1AppConfig (#771)
