-
rollback
set head and purge blocks antecedent to specified block number. -
--chain-config
replacesinit [genesis]
, allowing finer-grained control over a private network configuration. -
dump-chain-config
is useful for establishing starting-pointcustomnet.json
external chain configurations. -
--chain
allows you to specify chain to run by "chainID", ie "mainnet", "morden", and "customnet". Its value selects the parent/chain subdirectory in which to store all chain and node data.
To learn more about these new features, check out the Command Line Options wiki page near the bottom.
We've renamed the base default data directory from "Ethereum" to "EthereumClassic" (or OS-sensible variants). Along with this and the implementation of --chain
flag, chain-based data are now store by named subdirectories under the parent data dir. This means
# morden testnet defaults
.../Ethereum/testnet/chaindata
.../Ethereum/testnet/nodes
.../Ethereum/testnet/keystore
# mainnet defaults
.../Ethereum/chaindata
.../Ethereum/nodes
.../Ethereum/keystore
becomes:
# morden testnet defaults
.../EthereumClassic/morden/chaindata
.../EthereumClassic/morden/nodes
.../EthereumClassic/morden/keystore
# mainnet defaults
.../EthereumClassic/mainnet/chaindata
.../EthereumClassic/mainnet/nodes
.../EthereumClassic/mainnet/keystore
Geth will attempt to migrate (mv
) any relevant data from the old schema to the new, unless:
- it can't find pertinent ETC data in the old directories,
- the "old" data isn't in the default locations,
- or you override the defaults with the
--data-dir
,--chain=customnet
or--external-config
flags, - it already has, in which case you're up-to-date
- All commands and flags which are conjuctions (like
--datadir
) have been aliased with their--data-dir
hyphen-case pair. - Attempts to use an invalid command will show help instead of being ignored.
- Public API
GetBlockByNumber
now populateslogsBloom
field (thanks @tranvictor). - Logging sync busy has been relegated to
Debug
level. - Improved tests, their coverage, and OS-agnosticism.
