v1.0.0-rc.3 (2026-02-05)

ev-node v1.0.0-rc.3

This is new release candidate focused on improving cache handling, fixing critical bugs in block replay logic, and enhancing node synchronization with DA hints for P2P transactions. This release includes one breaking change related to cache persistence behavior that requires operator awareness.

Tested upgrade paths

• ev-node v1.0.0-rc.2 -> ev-node v1.0.0-rc.3

⚠️ Breaking Changes

Cache Persistence Changes

What changed: The pending events cache and transaction cache are now fully ephemeral and will not persist across node restarts. Only the DA inclusion cache persists (stored in metadata) until cleared after DA inclusion processing has been completed. (#3047)

Action required:

1. Be aware that on node restart, pending events and transactions will need to be re-fetched from peers or the DA layer
2. Operators can delete the previous file cache to save disk space (rm -rf ./appd/data/cache)

v1.0.0-rc.2 (2026-02-04)

ev-node v1.0.0-rc.2

This release candidate improves cache handling, storage efficiency, and metrics accuracy. This release reduces storage duplication by replacing the go-header store with the ev-node native store and improves performance when handling backlogs of pending blocks. It also reduces the default max bytes size to 5MB for better compatibility with public DA nodes.
