The release introduces a few improvements and bug fixes.
- Fix the regression introduced in 2.6.5 where data synchronisation became very slow;
- speed up the in-place repacking of the 2.5 storage;
- choose the default packing rate based on the actual packing latency achieved by the node's processor;
- hard-code the trusted peers to use when no trusted peers are specified explicitly; filter out the peers which fell behind.
The release comes with the prebuilt binaries for the Linux x86_64 platforms.
