CELESTIA-APP v9.0.1-arabica — Arabica upgrade

Dear partners and node operators,

We are pleased to announce a new version of celestia-app today. Please upgrade as soon as possible to benefit from the latest fixes and improvements.

Celestia-app:

This is a patch release for Arabica. The network is already on v9, so no validator signaling is required — restart your node with the new binary at your convenience.

Key changes:

• Bumped the embedded v8 binary version.

• Upgraded to core v0.40.5.

• Documented the pruning process for min-retain-blocks.

Reminder: setting min-retain-blocks to a non-zero value enables pruning and may increase syncing time while existing data is pruned.

Thank you,

Celestia Foundation
