This is a maintenance release with bug fixes, performance improvements, and several enhancements.

All Changes

Core

  • Re-structured the trienode history header section and enabled partial freezer read for trienode data retrieval. (#32907)
  • Fixed legacy chain freezer directory detection to only use legacy format when the directory is non-empty. (#33032)
  • Fixed shared chainId modification between tests that could cause test failures. (#33020)
  • Reduced memory allocations in AccessList.Copy and modernSigner.Equal for improved performance. (#33024, #32971)

RPC & Tracing

  • Fixed prestateTracer for EIP-6780 SELFDESTRUCT operations. (#33050)
  • Fixed crasher in TraceCall when using BlockOverrides. (#33015)
  • Removed unused error variables in RPC code. (#33012)

Networking & P2P

  • Ensured bootstrap completion before accepting incoming connections in discovery table to prevent test hangs. (#32881)
  • Added cleanup of v4 discovery resources when v5 initialization fails. (#33005)
  • Silenced spurious "Read error" log messages during listener shutdown. (#33001)

CLI & Commands

  • Added --genesis flag to set genesis configuration from file, providing an alternative to geth init. (#32844)
  • Fixed maximum uint64 value expression in Era import (was incorrectly using bitwise XOR instead of max value). (#32934)
  • Simplified address validation by using IsHexAddress method consistently. (#32997)
  • Distinguished JWT secret handling between devp2p and geth, clarifying that --authrpc.jwtsecret expects a file path. (#32972)

JavaScript Runtime

  • Fixed setTimeout/setInterval callback argument forwarding to match standard JavaScript semantics. Only extra arguments (after callback and delay) are now passed to callbacks. (#32936)

Testing & CI

  • Fixed incorrect waitgroup usage in XTestDelivery test case. (#33047)
  • Fixed error assertion in accounts/abi/bind/v2 test. (#33041)
  • Fixed flaky websocket test by adding minimum delay to prevent immediate connection resets. (#33002)
  • Fixed flaky TestSizeTracker by ensuring pathdb buffer is fully flushed before baseline iteration. (#32993)
  • Added 32-bit CI targets for keeper executables and unit tests. (#32911)
  • Fixed keeper build in CI after workspace file removal. (#33018, #32632)

Code Quality & Maintenance

  • Simplified FileExist helper function for better readability. (#32969)
  • Improved duration comparison in PrettyAge formatter to treat exact unit boundaries correctly. (#33064)
  • Fixed ChainConfig logging to display actual timestamp values instead of pointer addresses. (#32766)
  • Removed unused variables and improved code clarity. (#32989)
