mixhash not returned in the rpc

The mix hash is currently not returned in blocks in the RPC

[kumavis]

this is the only apart of the blockchain not available via RPC

Yes, that's correct. The RPC spec doesn't define the mix hash to be included in the response.

I'm unsure of this issue and what your intentions are (we do have that template - that you deleted - for a reason, you know :-p). Are you looking to change the RPC spec, did you think we implemented it incorrectly or submit a feature request? :-)

Either works! Just as long as there is some way to get the mixhash :)

All the details are here: b0d9f73

You should now be able to reconstruct all consensus-related objects from RPC output values.

@fjl I think this can be closed now 👍

[fjl]

We will close it when geth 1.5 is released. The change is not in any release yet.

[kumavis]

oh woah! should be a pretty big changelog then : )
keep up the good work

Fix released in 1.5.0.
