Notice regarding upgrade from v1.5.x to v1.6.5

Snapshot Regeneration

The upgrade will trigger snapshot regeneration. Please expect reduced node performance until this process finishes. On our reference hardware (8-core AMD EPYC 7R13, 32GB RAM, SSD), regeneration took approximately 5 hours.

Log Indexing

v1.6.x introduces a new log indexing mechanism. For v1.6.5, the index is constructed starting from block 71,126,721. This operation consumes significant CPU resources, and the node may appear unresponsive during startup. If you do not need the full index, add the flag --history.logs 576000 to limit indexing to the last 3 days, or disable it entirely using --history.logs.disable.
