Release Notes

ethereum/go-ethereum (github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum)

v1.17.7: Intact Neuro-Coil (v1.17.7)

Compare Source

This is a quick release, cut mainly because publishing v1.17.6 to the Ubuntu PPA failed. It also carries a few fixes merged since then. Both v1.17.6 and v1.17.7 are ready for the Amsterdam fork on Sepolia (Oct 6, 2026), so Sepolia validators can run either version.

Users can now also choose their own history pruning point with --history.chain <block number>:<block hash>. It works both for pruning an existing node with geth prune-history and for snap sync, which then skips downloading the chain history before that block.

Changes

  • Add postosaka and custom <block number>:<block hash> history pruning points (#​35792)
  • Account for both the execution and state gas (EIP-8037) when selecting transactions in the miner (#​35773)
  • Fix a memory leak by waiting for the block prefetcher when stopping the chain (#​35821)
  • Release the pathdb clean caches when the database is disabled (#​35789)
  • Encode and hash the block-level access list once, in a dedicated pipeline (#​35772)
  • Keep the snap sync v2 pivot moving by applying block-level access lists after the state sync (#​35749)
  • Only fetch block-level access lists close to the chain head (#​35780)
  • Skip peers whose announced block range doesn't cover the request (#​35723)
  • Restore the txpool empty-state fallback during snap sync, fixing the regression introduced in v1.17.3 (#​35582)
  • Allow restarting an interrupted snap sync when a history cutoff is configured (#​35837, #​35844)
  • Update execution-spec-tests fixtures to v21 (#​35835)
  • Add five new multi-cloud bootnodes operated by NodeOps alongside the existing bootnodes (#​35682)

For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.17.7 release milestone.

v1.17.6: Inorganic Lubricant (v1.17.6)

Compare Source

This is a maintenance release with a number of performance improvements to block processing and initial sync, and is recommended for all users.

A few things worth highlighting:

  • The Amsterdam hardfork is scheduled on the Sepolia testnet at timestamp 1791294816 (Oct 6, 2026, 13:53:36 UTC). Sepolia node operators must upgrade before that time.
  • The Holesky testnet has been removed, as the network reached end-of-life.

As with all our previous releases, you can find the:

v1.17.5: Grav-Torque Pad (v1.17.5)

Compare Source

This is a maintenance release with accumulated bug fixes and improvements, and is recommended for all users. It continues the implementation work for the upcoming Amsterdam hardfork.

A few things worth highlighting:

  • The default GOGC has changed from 20 to 50, trading a higher memory peak for less GC overhead. Set --gogc=20 to keep the old behavior.
  • Pebble v2 is now supported as a key-value store backend. Pebble v2 is used when Geth is bootstrapped from scratch, and falls back to Pebble v1 for a pre-existing database. Run geth db pebble-upgrade to explicitly upgrade a legacy Pebble v1 database to v2.

Core

  • Introduce a sparse blobpool to reduce blob transaction pool memory usage (#​34047)

  • Fix snap sync failing to backfill blocks with missing canonical-hash mappings (#​35190)
  • Reuse the chain's JUMPDEST cache in payload building (#​35378)
  • Support Pebble v2 as the database backend (#​34009)
  • Support .ere files in the era store (#​34978)
  • Introduce the trie.UpdateBatch API (#​32448)

  • Various snap v2 fixes (#​35321, #​35323)
  • Optimize block validation (#​35403)
  • Various allocation improvements (#​35234, #​35237, #​35232)

Networking

  • Write block-level access lists in geth export (#​35369)
  • Preserve metrics tag values containing = (#​35168)
  • Update eels tests to v20.0.0 (#​35283)

Accounts & ABI
