Description

This client release updates polkadot-sdk dependencies to stable2512 (and the corresponding Frontier version).

Upgrade priority: HIGH

Both collator and archive/RPC nodes must be upgraded alongside runtime-2300. Older binaries remain consensus-compatible for a short window, but are not fully compatible with the new runtime: EVM tracing (trace_block), XcmPaymentApi v2, reorg-aware eth_getLogs/eth_subscribe, and relay-chain collator peer signalling all require this client.

⚠️ Breaking CLI change: --ethapi-trace-cache-duration (seconds) is replaced by --ethapi-trace-cache-size (bytes, default 100MB). The old flag usage must be removed.

Other operator-facing changes:

  • New --trace-filter-max-block-range flag, defaulting to 1024 blocks (previously unlimited).
  • Pre-EIP-155 (non-replay-protected) transactions are now rejected at the RPC layer.
  • Frontier mapping-sync now honours the node's state pruning mode.
