Tari Release Notes – v5.0.0-pre.8

New Features

• GRPC cleanup of rust code

It is now possible to include the rust GRPC struct conversions for most types without needing to pull in tari core. This should make the package more lightweight and make it easier for developers to include into their code base.

Fixes:

• Offline signing

Offline signing was broken in v5.0.0-pre.7. This new release fixes that as well as add tests to ensure that this does not happen again.

Deployment instructions:

To update to 5.0.0-pre.8 safely.

1. Back up your data — especially the Base Node and Console Wallet data directories.
2. Stop all running services — including Console Wallet, Base Node, and any related integrations.
3. Install the latest binaries for both the Base Node and Console Wallet for version 5.0.0-pre.8.
4. Restart all services and verify that your node syncs correctly and CLI operations function as expected.
5. Monitor logs for any unexpected errors and verify that wallet synchronization proceeds smoothly.****
