BIFROST v1.2.1

BIFROST v1.2.1

This release contains a minor bug fix of the Frontier implementation. The previous implementation has forced to ignore the Frontier database migration to V2 happen. This has issued some misbehavior when requesting Ethereum RPC requests on historical data.

Related Frontier update.

On this release, the migration will be executed on restart. Please follow the instructions below for clients facing the problem. (Not mandatory but recommended)

1. Stop the running bifrost-node client.
2. Backup & remove {base-path}/chains/{mainnet|testnet|dev}/frontier/db/db_version file.
3. Replace the previous bifrost-node to v1.2.1.
4. Restart the bifrost-node client with the replaced version.

• Renamed runtime implementation types.
  • Call -> RuntimeCall
  • Event -> RuntimeEvent
  • Origin -> RuntimeOrigin
• Renamed CLI commands.
  • --pruning -> --state-pruning
