We are pleased to announce the release of RSKj Lovell 7.2.0, the latest version of the RSKj client. This update includes improvements to Ethereum compatibility, specifically in how the RSKj node handles the logIndex field, which indicates the position of a log entry within a transaction receipt’s list of logs. It also introduces the state override feature, enabling developers to simulate transactions with custom account code, storage, or balances during an eth_call, without altering the actual blockchain state.
⚠️ Although this upgrade is optional, we strongly recommend updating your node to take advantage of the latest performance and security improvements.
