- Concordium node version 6.3.2 fixes a bug in the handling of smart contract names that could cause the node to crash.
- **This is a critical bug fix, and node runners should update as soon as possible.**
+ Concordium node version 7.0.5 contains support for `protocol version 7 <https://proposals.concordium.software/updates/P7.html>`_.
+ The new consensus protocol will take effect on the mainnet on October 30, 2024.
+ **Node runners should upgrade to version 7.0.5 before the protocol update to ensure that their nodes do not shut down.**
+
+ Protocol version 7 introduces the following changes:
+
+ - The cool-down behavior when the stake of a validator or delegator is reduced or removed is changed:
+
+ - When stake is reduced, the reduction is immediately effective for future stake calculations, and the amount of the reduction is locked for a cool-down period.
+ (Previously, the reduction was only effective after the cool-down period.)
+
+ - Validators and delegators can make further changes to their stake while they already have stake in cooldown.
+ This includes registering as a validator when the account was previously a delegator, or vice versa.
+ (Previously, the account had to wait for the cool-down period to end before making further changes.)
+
+ - Shielded transfers are no longer supported in the protocol.
+ It is still possible to unshield a previously shielded balance.
+
+ - Smart contract execution costs are reduced.
+ This reflects a more efficient implementation of the smart contract execution engine introduced in this release.
+
+ - Smart contracts can now query the module reference and contract name of a smart contract instance.
+
+ - The block hashing scheme is redefined to better support light clients.
+
+ Additionaly, the node release includes a number of fixes and improvements:
+
+ - Logging around protocol updates is improved.
+ - Failed gRPC requests are now logged at ``DEBUG`` level.
+ - Fixed a bug where ``GetBakersRewardPeriod`` returns incorrect data.
+ - Fixed a bug where ``GetPoolInfo`` returns incorrect data.
+ - Fixed a bug where a configure-validator transaction that is rejected for having a duplicate aggregation key reports the old key of the validator, rather than the new (duplicative) key.
+ - Improved the behavior of the node in the event of an unrecoverable error in consensus.
