This release merges upstream security fixes addressing CVE-2026-26314 and CVE-2026-26315, and two p2p vulnerabilities
All users are strongly recommended to upgrade.
After upgrading, it is recommended to recreate your p2p node key by removing DATADIR/geth/nodekey before restarting the node. A new key will be generated automatically. Note that recreating the node key will change the p2p node ID, which may require updating any static peer configurations.
In addition to the security fixes, this release also adds DNS resolution support for bootnodes, allowing bootnodes to be configured using either domain names or IP addresses.
