Pinochet from the release name is a Pirate from Forgotten Realms. 🏴‍☠️

Breaking

  • #7252: forest-cli snapshot export now generates checksum file at {filepath}.sha256sum. The default file extension is changed from .forest.car.sha256sum to .forest.car.zst.sha256sum.

  • #7321: The chain indexer, which populates the Ethereum transaction-hash mappings used by eth_getTransactionByHash, eth_getTransactionReceipt, and related methods, is now enabled by default. Opt out with FOREST_CHAIN_INDEXER_ENABLED=0.

Changed

  • #7320: Increase the default Eth transaction receipt cache size to 10000 and make it configurable via the FOREST_ETH_TRANSACTION_RECEIPT_CACHE_SIZE environment variable.

  • #7350: Allow snapshot GC to be cancelled in-progress, same as regular snapshot export.

Fixed

  • #6748: The Ethereum trace methods (trace_transaction, trace_block, trace_replayBlockTransactions) now report Reverted for a reverted contract creation instead of a mis-classified actor error.

  • #7270: eth_getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex and eth_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex now resolve the transaction's to address against the tipset's post-execution state (matching eth_getBlockByNumber/eth_getTransactionByHash), instead of the pre-execution state which returned a 0xff…ffffffffffffffff masked-ID sentinel for recipients created within the tipset.

  • #7329: Filecoin.NodeStatus now matches Lotus: SyncStatus.Behind is reported in epochs (not seconds), and the method takes an inclChainStatus boolean parameter that gates the chain-status computation. Also fixed casing in output JSON to match Lotus PascalCase convention.

  • #7348: In case of snapshot export getting stuck, Forest will now error after a timeout of 5 minutes of no progress.

Non-mandatory release for all node operators. It includes mostly fixes and performance improvements for the RPC methods.

Added

  • #7269: Added --wait-confidence and --wait-timeout to forest-wallet send command.

  • #7275: Added the --remove-existing-chain flag to delete the existing chain data on snapshot import.

Changed

  • #6442: forest-wallet sign and forest-wallet verify now apply the FRC-0102 signing envelope to the message by default. Pass --raw on both sides to reproduce the previous raw-bytes behaviour.

  • #7270: eth_getBlockReceipts and eth_getBlockReceiptsLimited now return an ErrNullRound error (JSON-RPC code 12) for a null-round block number instead of resolving to the previous tipset, matching upstream Lotus (lotus#13694). Set FOREST_ETH_GET_BLOCK_RECEIPTS_LEGACY_NULL_ROUND=1 to restore the previous behavior for parity with Lotus releases predating that fix.

Fixed

  • #7314: eth_traceFilter now skips null rounds within its [fromBlock, toBlock] range instead of failing with an ErrNullRound error when the range spans one, matching Lotus.

  • #7276: eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_getBlockTransactionCountByNumber, eth_getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex, eth_traceBlock, and eth_traceReplayBlockTransactions now return an ErrNullRound error (JSON-RPC code 12) when the requested block number is a null round, matching Lotus, instead of silently returning the previous tipset. Thanks to the chain.data.riba.plus dataset, which surfaced this discrepancy; see #7270 for the broader effort to reconcile remaining Eth RPC discrepancies against it.

  • #4645: An invalid RPC Authorization header (malformed header or unverifiable JWT) is now rejected with an HTTP 401 Unauthorized instead of the misleading -32600 Invalid request JSON-RPC error. A call that authenticates but lacks the permission its method requires now returns a JSON-RPC error with code -32003 and a missing permission to invoke '<method>' (need '<perm>') message.

  • #7256: Filecoin.AuthVerify now verifies its argument as a raw JWT, matching Lotus, instead of stripping a leading Bearer prefix.

  • #7214: Aligned the eth transaction accessList field with go-ethereum/reth (typed: [], legacy: omitted, never null).

  • #7270: eth transactions now serialize "to": null for contract-creation transactions instead of omitting the field, matching go-ethereum/reth/Lotus and the execution-apis transaction schema.

  • #7227: Fixed invalid Filecoin.GasEstimateGasPremium and Filecoin.GasEstimateFeeCap responses that were returning a fraction instead of an integer.

  • #7096: eth_subscribe logs now re-emits the logs of reorg-reverted tipsets with removed: true, ahead of the logs of the replacing tipsets.

Non-mandatory release for all node operators.

Added

  • #6008: Added the FOREST_PATH environment variable to override the Forest data directory (taking precedence over the configuration file and the default), mirroring Lotus' LOTUS_PATH. It is honored by all forest* binaries, so forest-cli/forest-tool read the JWT admin token from the same directory. The resolved data directory is now logged on daemon startup.

  • #7168: Added the FOREST_RPC_METRICS_DISABLED environment variable to disable JSON-RPC per-method metrics while leaving other metrics intact.

  • #7195: Added the rpc_in_flight_requests metric reporting the number of JSON-RPC requests currently being processed.

Changed

  • #7164: JSON-RPC authentication is now performed once per connection (e.g. at the WebSocket upgrade) instead of on every request, matching Lotus. Note that token expiry is no longer re-checked for the lifetime of an established connection.

Fixed

  • #7194: Added UpgradeXxHeight placeholder for the NV29 network upgrade.

  • #7211: Fixed forest-wallet to allow using the unencrypted keystore with --encrypt false when an encrypted keystore also exists.

  • #7129: Fixed a few inaccurate cache size metrics.

  • #6974: Fixed the message pool reporting a still-pending nonce as the next nonce after an applied message was removed.

  • #6975: Fixed Filecoin.MpoolSelect to not remove the messages from the live pool, only simulate the head change.

  • #7217: Fixed a bug that Filecoin.StateCirculatingSupply returns error on mainnet.
