This release is dedicated to the memory of ldeffenb, who recently passed away.
ldeffenb was an irreplaceable pillar of the Swarm community—undoubtedly the most active, knowledgeable, kind, dedicated, and selfless individual among us. He touched lives throughout the community, always offering invaluable help and support. In addition to personally assisting community members, he made countless contributions to testing new candidate Bee versions, playing a critical role in identifying and resolving important issues. His efforts were always entirely altruistic, driven by a genuine desire to help others and improve Swarm to fulfill the project's vision.
His sudden passing is a tremendous loss to us all, and his absence is deeply felt across the entire community. Outside Swarm, ldeffenb was also an active participant in other non-commercial community projects, where he held a similarly vital role.
In his honor, Bee v2.4.0 will include a new line in the startup message logs: "Share the knowledge." This simple yet profound message was ldeffenb's personal slogan, encapsulating his spirit and values, which he consistently demonstrated through his actions.
