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 update features new debugging methods and other improvements to the JSON-RPC interface, designed to optimize the developer experience.
Although this upgrade is optional, it is strongly recommended that users update their nodes to the latest version to benefit from enhanced performance and security.

How do I upgrade to version 6.5.0?
Starting with the previous release of RSKj, Java 17 (LTS) has become the minimum supported version, and previous versions of Java will no longer be supported. Node operators upgrading from a version before 6.4.0 should upgrade to a compatible Java version to ensure continued functionality. Upgrading to this version requires no other considerations.
