Release notes
This is a maintenance release with accumulated bug fixes and improvements, and is recommended for all users. It continues the implementation work for the upcoming Amsterdam hardfork.

A few things worth highlighting:
- The default GOGC has changed from 20 to 50, trading a higher memory peak for less GC overhead. Set --gogc=20 to keep the old behavior.
- Pebble v2 is now supported as a key-value store backend. Pebble v2 is used when Geth is bootstrapped from scratch, and falls back to Pebble v1 for a pre-existing database. Run geth db pebble-upgrade to explicitly upgrade a legacy Pebble v1 database to v2.
Fork Implementation
- Several Amsterdam EIPs have been implemented or updated:
  - EIP-2780: Resource-based intrinsic transaction gas (#35212, #35318)
  - EIP-8037: State creation gas cost increase (#35173, #35318, #35301, #35342, #35279)
  - EIP-8038: State-access gas cost update (#35216)
  - EIP-8246: Remove SELFDESTRUCT burn (#35219)
  - EIP-8282: Builder execution requests (#35175, #35341)

  - EIP-7954: Increase maximum contract size (#35217)
  - EIP-7928: Block-level access lists (#35260, #35281, #35261, #35348, #35279)

- Support .ere files in the era store (#34978)
- Introduce the trie.UpdateBatch API (#32448)
- Fix freezer truncation error on newly-added empty tables after unclean shutdown (#35258)
- Improve state recoverability reporting by considering sync status (#35400)
- Fix account prefetching for absent accounts (#35256)

Networking
- Protect high-value peers from random dropping based on transaction-inclusion statistics (#34702)
- Keep invalid and unreachable nodes out of DNS discovery trees (#35312)
- Support a dual-stack discovery listener in devp2p, with several related fixes (#35220, #35298, #35243, #35206)
RPC
- Introduce the --rpc.http-body-limit flag to configure the maximum HTTP request body size (#35224)
- Reject gasPrice when combined with an authorizationList (#35320)
- Reject a block parameter with neither a number nor a hash (#35271)
- Match the authorization scheme case-insensitively (#35022)
