Arrowhead 6.5.1: Patch Release

The Rootstock community is pleased to announce the release of the latest version of the RSKj client, which is now available in the RSKj GitHub repository. This patch release reverts the JDK and JRE versions used in the Docker container from Java 21 to Java 17 due to synchronization issues encountered with the latest update. No additional changes or new features are included in this release.

While this upgrade is optional, users of the previous Docker container version are strongly encouraged to update to the latest version.
