Repair Actuals (v1.16.1)

This is a patch release, fixing some regressions with v1.16.0.

• abigen v2 now creates TryPack methods that return an error for invalid parameter values. (#31692)
• geth --vmtrace, enabling the live tracer, did not work due to a bug. (#32107)
• The blockTimestamp as returned by eth_getLogs is now hex-encoded. (#32129)
• eth_getLogs and related endpoints now limit the number of queried addresses to 1000. (#31876)
• eth_getTransactionReceipt should be a bit faster. (#32021)
• A buggy interaction of the new archive node and snap sync is resolved. (#32104)
• A rare crash in geth --dev mode related to debug_setHead is resolved. (#31871)
• Release archives now contain statically-linked binaries. (#32118)

For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.16.1 release milestone.

Terran Rivets (v1.16.0)

We are proud to present the v1.16.0 release, introducing path-based archive node and several other improvements to the state database implementation. There is also the usual amount of bug fixes and small improvements.

Archive Node

This release includes a new, experimental implementation of the archive node (--gcmode=archive). As an archive node, Geth stores all historical states, and can thus retrieve account balances, nonces and storage values at old blocks.

In previous versions of Geth, running as an archive node was only possible using the legacy 'hash-based' state storage scheme (--state.scheme=hash). When syncing mainnet the resulting database would reach sizes larger than 20TB, and it all had to be stored on a high-speed SSD.

The new implementation provides the state archive in combination with 'path-based' storage (--state.scheme=path). Comparing to hash-based storage, there are three basic advantages:

• Geth can be configured to store historical states on a dedicated disk, and it doesn't have to be an SSD (it will be ~3x faster to access when stored on SSD though).
• For the full state history of mainnet, the state database will have a size of ~1.9TB (this is without the tx-by-hash index and log index).
• The amount of historical state kept by the node is configurable as well. By default, Geth will keep historical state for the last 90k blocks, and older state is pruned from disk automatically as the chain advances. You can set the number of states to keep with the --history.state flag.

Notably, there is also one drawback with the new archive node: eth_getProof is not supported for historical blocks. With --state.scheme=path, Geth can only serve state proofs for the latest 128 blocks. We believe this is an acceptable tradeoff. If you need older proofs, you can still a hash-based archive node as before, but we'd also really like to hear about your use case. Please contact us via email at geth@ethereum.org so we can learn more, and possibly find a solution that can be implemented within Geth.

How it works

With 'path-based' state storage, Geth keeps exactly one full state in the database. Specifically, the persistent state is 128 blocks in the past. For newer blocks up to the head, forward diffs are kept in memory. In order to support rolling back to blocks older than head-128, Geth also keeps 'state history' in the form of reverse key-value diffs. When the chain is reset to an old block, these diffs are applied to the persistent state, going backwards one diff at a time until the target block is reached.

A reverse state diff contains the previous values of all modified accounts and storage locations for a specific block. There is a reverse diff for each historical block. This makes reverse diffs suitable for storage into the 'freezer', i.e. they do not need to live within Pebble/LevelDB.
