Important
Starting with v6.4.0, the minimum supported Java LTS version is Java 17. Previous Java versions will no longer be supported.
Summary
This update introduces the fiat-stable minimum gas price feature (disabled by default), enabling mining pools to automatically adjust their minimum gas price configuration based on the price of Bitcoin. Additionally, it includes JSON-RPC interface improvements and dependency upgrades, now supporting Java 21 LTS.
Although this upgrade is optional, we strongly recommend users update their nodes to the latest version to benefit from enhanced performance and security.
