[dependabot]

Bumps github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum from 1.10.26 to 1.12.2.

Release notes

Sourced from github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum's releases.

Mawinor (v1.12.2)

Hot on the heels of v1.12.1 comes our next release, fixing some regressions reported by the community.

Here are the changes:

• A crash related to leveldb metrics is resolved (#27904)
• Metrics names used by the blobpool have been changed to be compatible with Prometheus (#27901)
• The c-kzg-4844 and blst libraries have been updated, hopefully fixing some build issues (#27890, #27907, #27910)
• We have also adapted go-ethereum to the latest changes in the 'slices' package provided by the golang.org/x/exp module. The Go authors decided to push an incompatible update, but didn't create a new release of that module, causing build issues when consumers mix-and-match dependency versions. (#27909)

For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.12.2 release milestone.

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

• Pre-built binaries for all platforms on our downloads page.
• Docker images published under ethereum/client-go.
• Ubuntu packages in our Launchpad PPA repository.
• OSX packages in our Homebrew Tap repository.

Antibaar (v1.12.1)

Geth v1.12.1 is a maintenance release, albeit a rather large one, since we haven't put out a version since May. This release is a recommended upgrade for all users and contains security-related fixes.

Here's the list of changes:

Cancun fork

Development for the upcoming Cancun hard fork has been a focus in this release cycle. Do note however, that Geth v1.12.1 is not yet ready for Cancun.

• For EIP-4844 'Shard Blob Transactions', this release contains basic type definitions and state transition logic (#27356, #27382, #27392, #27393, #27470, #27721, #27736, #27743, #27767, #27789, #27791, #27793, #27796, #27797, #27825, #27874)
• We have also implemented an entirely new mempool -- the blobpool -- for EIP-4844 transactions. The new pool is backed by an on-disk database and has an overall simpler design than the txpool we use for regular transactions. The blobpool is not yet used by p2p networking and is still being tested in the Cancun devnets. (#26940, #27429, #27463, #27481, #27790, #27822)
• EIP-6780: 'SELFDESTRUCT only in same transaction' (#27189)
• EIP-5656: 'MCOPY instruction' (#26181)
• EIP-1153: 'Transient storage opcodes' was already implemented and is enabled for Cancun (#27663, #27613)

Geth command changes

• The Rinkeby testnet is no longer supported in Geth (#27406)
• geth --dev now simulates a PoS-based chain (#27327)
• evm blocktest can now output structured logs (#27396)
• Geth will now configure GOMAXPROCS based on CPU quota settings. This should improve efficiency when running in Docker containers with a CPU core limit applied. (#27506, #27814)
• An IPv6 listening address for can now be configured for HTTP/WS (#27628) (#27635)

RPC/GraphQL API changes

• JSON transactions now have a yParity fields, as mandated by the RPC API spec (#27744, #27882)
• Legacy transactions now have a chainID field in RPC responses, like all other transaction types (#27452)
• Block headers returned by RPC no longer report a non-standard size field (#27347)
