Miner configuration is unified under [Eth.Miner] (GasCeil/GasPrice/Etherbase/ExtraData), replacing legacy top-level [Eth] miner keys.
Operational impact: existing config files using [Eth].GasPrice/[Eth].Etherbase/[Eth].ExtraData must be migrated before upgrade.
Behavior update: gasprice=0 remains valid; only negative gas prices are sanitized at startup.
Default change: XDCGenesisGasLimit is reduced to 42,000,000 and now feeds miner default GasCeil (including default --miner-gaslimit), so nodes relying on defaults should review capacity expectations.
Here we add a Go API for running tracing plugins within the main block import process.
As an advanced user of geth, you can now create a Go file in eth/tracers/live/, and within
that file register your custom tracer implementation. Then recompile geth and select your tracer
on the command line. Hooks defined in the tracer will run whenever a block is processed.
The hook system is defined in package core/tracing. It uses a struct with callbacks, instead of
requiring an interface, for several reasons:
- We plan to keep this API stable long-term. The core/tracing hook API does not depend on
on deep geth internals.
- There are a lot of hooks, and tracers will only need some of them. Using a struct allows you
to implement only the hooks you want to actually use.
All existing tracers in eth/tracers/native have been rewritten to use the new hook system.
This change breaks compatibility with the vm.EVMLogger interface that we used to have.
If you are a user of vm.EVMLogger, please migrate to core/tracing, and sorry for breaking
your stuff. But we just couldn't have both the old and new tracing APIs coexist in the EVM.
