This can be enabled using the `--rpc-http-api TRACE` CLI flag. There are some philosophical differences between Besu and other implementations that are outlined in [trace_rpc_apis](docs/trace_rpc_apis.md).
- Added [Multi-tenancy](https://besu.hyperledger.org/en/latest/Concepts/Privacy/Multi-Tenancy/) support which allows multiple participants to use the same Besu node for private transactions.
- Besu has moved from an internal Bytes library to the [Apache Tuweni](https://tuweni.apache.org/) Bytes library. This includes using the library in the Plugins API interfaces. [#295](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/295) and [#215](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/215)
- Added priv_call [\#250](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/250). Invokes a private contract function locally and does not change the private state.
- Support for [EIP-2124](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-2124.md), which results in faster peer discovery [\#156](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/156)
-`admin_generateLogBloomCache` JSON-RPC API to generate a cache of the block bloombits that improves performance for log queries [\#262](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/262)
(MainNet, Ropsten, Rinkeby, and Goerli) upgrade immediately. This upgrade is also strongly recommended for users of private networks.
For more details, see [Hyperledger Besu Wiki](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/BESU/Mainnet+Consensus+Bug+Identified+and+Resolved+in+Hyperledger+Besu).
- Hard Fork Support: Configures the Agharta activation block for the ETC MainNet configuration [\#251](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/251) (thanks to [soc1c](https://github.com/soc1c))
-`operator generate-log-bloom-cache` command line option to generate a cache of the block bloombits that improves performance for log queries [\#245](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/245)

From v0.8.3, incoming HTTP requests are only accepted from hostnames specified using the `--host-whitelist` command-line option. If not specified, the default value for `--host-whitelist` is `localhost`.
If using the URL `http://127.0.0.1` to make JSON-RPC calls, use `--host-whitelist` to specify the hostname `127.0.0.1` or update the hostname to `localhost`.
Specify `*` or `all` for `--host-whitelist` to effectively disable host protection and replicate pre-v0.8.3 behavior. This is not recommended for production code.
