Bee v2.7.1 Goes Live March 23rd
Bee v2.7.1 is set to go live on March 23rd. This patch release brings improvements to the multiple p2p transport support introduced in 2.7.0, along with faster startup times and bug fixes.
More Stable Connectivity
Bee 2.7.0 added support for multiple p2p transports, which was a big step forward for connectivity but also introduced some edge cases where nodes could become temporarily unreachable by their peers. Bee 2.7.1 resolves these issues. Nodes should experience more reliable and stable connections overall.
Faster Startup
New node startup time has been reduced thanks to improvements in how postage batch data is processed during startup.
Bug Fixes & Maintenance
A crash triggered by invalid batch top-up values has been fixed, a Prometheus metric for node reachability status has been corrected, and some deprecated configuration flags have been cleaned up.
