tendermint/CHANGELOG_PENDING.md

v0.32.9

**

This release contains breaking changes to the Block#Header, specifically NumTxs and TotalTxs were removed (#2521). Here's how this change affects different modules:

• apps: it breaks the ABCI header field numbering
• state: it breaks the format of State on disk
• RPC: all RPC requests which expose the header broke
• Go API: the Header broke
• P2P: since blocks go over the wire, technically the P2P protocol broke

Special thanks to external contributors on this release: @erikgrinaker, @PSalant726, @gchaincl, @gregzaitsev

Friendly reminder, we have a bug bounty program.

      "jsonrpc": "2.0",
      "id": "",
      "result": {
        "height": "2109",
        "txs_results": null,
        "begin_block_events": null,

    }
    

  • [rpc]#4141 Remove #event suffix from the ID in event responses. {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 0, "result": ...}
  • [rpc]#4141 Switch to integer IDs instead of json-client-XYZ

    id=0 method=/subscribe

    id=1 method=/abci_query
    id=1 result=...
    

    • ID is unique for each request;
