Nuked due to a downloader deadlock. Please use v1.8.5 instead.

Geth Dirty Derivative (v1.8.4) is our biweekly maintenance release.

  • Optimizes dirty object handling during block processing, leading to 40% faster blocks (#15225).
  • Fixes the PPA builds by working around a Travis -> Launchpad connectivity issue (#16404).
  • Makes docker images use non-privileged users (#16052, #16478, #16477).
  • Stabilizes transaction spam eviction from the transaction pool (#16494)
  • Speeds up external API calls operating on the pending state (#16497).
  • Handles downloader interruptions more gracefully (#16280, #16509).
  • Adds leveldb write delay measurements and warnings (#16499).
  • Fixes a rare light client deadlock (#16360).

The v1.8.4 release also contains the first pre-alpha incarnation of Clef, our standalone signer (#16154). It is a work in progress developer preview. Please consider it unsafe until otherwise announced.

For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.8.4 release milestone.

Binaries and mobile libraries are available on our download page.
