HNB Core v4.6.2

New brand identity

The HNB mark is now a vector aperture — six blades, a hexagonal opening, a coin rim — on a palette of near-black neutrals with a violet-to-pink sweep and gold used only as a hairline accent. Typography is Outfit throughout, with tracking that tightens as size increases.

This replaces the old raster hex badge everywhere: website, web wallet, block explorer, desktop wallet icons, freedesktop pixmaps and the Windows installer art. All assets are generated from assets/brand/hnb-mark.svg and hnb-mark-solid.svg — the small variant drops the blades and gold so the mark survives a 16px favicon.

Wallet

• Config resolution prefers hnb.conf and falls back to legacy raven.conf, so Ravencoin-era installs keep working
• The GUI migrates a legacy raven.conf into hnb.conf when the latter is missing or empty
• First launch writes hnb.conf with testnet defaults

Build

• Fixes the Windows cross-build. depends/patches/qt/fix_limits_header.patch was declared in qt.mk but never invoked, so it had never been applied. Qt 5.12.11 does not compile against GCC 11+ without it — this broke every Windows build on a modern toolchain.
• Build scripts are now executable (were committed mode 644, failing with exit 126)

⚠️ Testnet only

Access-code authentication is intentionally disabled in this build. The wallet API issues session tokens without a password and proxies RPC unauthenticated. This is deliberate for the public testnet and must not be used for mainnet without reverting authEnabled() to gate on HNB_ACCESS_PASSWORD.

Verifying

Each artifact ships .md5sum and .sha256sum. Both binaries are built from 0b3da9a6c.

Windows Qt wallet (testnet quick start)

1. Extract the zip and run hnb-qt.exe
2. On first launch, %APPDATA%\HookersAndBlow\hnb.conf is created with testnet + seed nodes
3. If sync stalls, use Reindex-HNB-Testnet.bat or start with -reindex
