Geth v1.9.6 is a bug fix release, which improves light client sync to not start from zero when a CHT checkpoint is available (#20120).

This release also adds support for EIP-1898: all state-related RPC methods now support specifying block hashes as well as block numbers. This affects eth_getBalance, eth_getStorageAt, eth_getTransactionCount, eth_getCode, eth_call and eth_getProof (#19491).

Minor changes:

  • LES servers now advertise the les capability via ENR (#20145)
  • New metrics for p2p bandwidth per protocol message (#20133)
  • LevelDB seek compaction is disabled, reducing disk I/O (#20130)
  • Handling of invalid future blocks is improved (#19763)

For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.9.6 release milestone.
