This release ports critical security fixes from go-ethereum v1.16.8, resolving two P2P vulnerabilities.

While not an emergency patch, we highly recommend all node operators upgrade to ensure long-term network stability and security.

Upgrade Instructions

From v1.6.x: A simple binary replacement is sufficient.
From v1.5.x: Please refer to the v1.6.5 Release Announcement for specific migration steps.
