The transaction pool keeps track of the current nonce in its local pendingState. When a
new block comes in the pendingState is reset. During the reset it fetches multiple times
the current state through the use of the currentState callback. When a second block comes
in during the reset its possible that the state changes during the reset. If that block
holds transactions that are currently in the pool the local pendingState that is used to
determine nonces can get out of sync.
Environment is now a struct (not an interface). This
reduces a lot of tech-debt throughout the codebase where a virtual
machine environment had to be implemented in order to test or run it.
The new environment is suitable to be used en the json tests, core
consensus and light client.
Support for legacy version 0.9.x is gone. The compiler version is no
longer cached. Compilation results (and the version) are read directly
from stdout using the --combined-json flag. As a workaround for
ethereum/solidity#651, source code is written to a temporary file before
compilation.
Integration of solc in package ethapi and cmd/abigen is now much simpler
because the compiler wrapper is no longer passed around as a pointer.
