We are excited to unveil the latest version of the RSKj Fingerroot client, now available in the RSKj GitHub repository. This update brings additions and enhancements to the JSON-RPC API, as well as security and performance improvements.

Although this upgrade is not mandatory, we highly recommend that users upgrade their nodes to the latest version.

A non-comprehensive list of changes included in this version is:

  • Fixed issues with the evm_reset JSON-RPC method in #2024.
  • Introduced configurable limits for the eth_getLogs JSON-RPC method in #2035.
  • Introduced configurable limit for JSON-RPC responses size in #1997.
  • New rsk_flush JSON-RPC method lets users flush node’s databases to disk without interrupting the node in #1856.
  • Allow specifying VM options when running RSKj in a docker container in #1998.

You can find a complete list of the changes introduced in the corresponding GitHub milestone.

How do I upgrade to version 5.1.0?

There are no special considerations for upgrading to this version. Users need to download and update their RSKj node; no other task is required.
