Stat it (v1.5.4)
This release fixes minor bugs and adds exciting features.
New Features
Geth now includes a built-in netstats reporter. Use --ethstats "<nodename>:<secret>@ethstats.net" to get listed on ethstats.net. (#3336) Assignment: find secret Skype room with ethstats password 😉
Network communication can now be restricted to a list of IP subnetworks. This feature is intended for private chains (and meetups!). For example, geth --netrestrict 192.168.0.0/16 only allows connections in the commonly used LAN range. (#3325)
RPC filters can now filter logs in the pending block. (#3219)
Fixed Bugs
- Two bugs in ethclient were squashed. (#3330, #3328)
- go-ethereum should once again build with git 1.7 and later. (#3352)
- For the full list of changes, see the 1.5.4 milestone.

Note About Go API Freeze
We originally planned to freeze the Go API of certain packages by the 1.5.4 release. We will delay the
freeze by a couple of versions because we're still discovering edge cases as we continue to build
libraries and apps on top of it.
