The release introduces various improvements and bug fixes.
Some hightlights:
- The memory consumption issues of 2.6.1 are fixed;
- the v2_index_data_size_by_packing metric is recorded with the new "partition_size" and "partition_index" labels;
- the node may now pack and update in place the unpacked data in the 2.5 storage (activate by
enable legacy_storage_unpacked_packing); - the default packing rate is now chosen based on the CPU core count, albeit conservatively;
- the mempool processing is improved by filtering out unfitting transactions early in the process.
The release comes with the prebuilt binaries for the Linux x86_64 platforms.
