Arweave 2.9.5.1 Patch Release Notes

This release introduces various stability and validation enhancements.

Several input validation steps could crash on invalid values, in some cases halting the arweave node.

The patch includes graceful validation of certain inputs and defensive deserialization of local binaries.

We recommend you to install this update as soon as you're able, to address potential node stability issues.

NOTE: No funds are at risk.
