v3.0.1 - Andromeda patch ✨

Summary

This release is a mandatory upgrade. Please make sure you upgrade before block 1,075,090.

Andromeda is the next hard fork for Ubiq and is planned to activate at block 1,075,090 alongside the next scheduled reward stepdown, currently estimated for 14th of January, 2020.

This patch release reverts the implementation of OpenRPC in Gubiq v3.0.0 where some RPC requests to eth_call were returning empty ("0x") results. A future release of Gubiq will re-add OpenRPC support after further investigation is complete.

Changes

The Andromeda hark fork has been in development and testing for the past few months by the Ubiq core development team.

This update consolidates and will activate Byzantium, Constantinople & St. Petersburg EIP's from upstream Ethereum and includes a fix for uncle reward calculations. There has also been some much needed clean up and refactoring of our consensus code.

The next major development will implement the Ethereum Istanbul EIP's and is anticipated to be completed mid-2020.

Support for Go 1.13

All binaries have been built with the latest Go 1.13 and compatibility changes have been integrated.
