This release of the BlockNode introduces significant enhancements, particularly the ability for the node to gracefully recover from restarts and seamlessly resume from its previous state. This improvement was achieved through substantial upgrades to the Persistence module, Helm charts, ServiceStatus, and AckHandler. The Persistence module, in particular, received extensive updates to bolster reliability and performance.
Additionally, this release includes migration efforts related to Hiero, accompanied by comprehensive dependency upgrades. Notably, the Swirlds SDK was updated to version 0.59.2, addressing previously encountered issues stemming from deprecated and removed objects. A thorough refactoring was carried out across all relevant tests to ensure compatibility and stability.
