v7.9.4

alphanumeric v7.9.4

Required compatibility upgrade before block 569,423.

Version 7.9.4 introduces the scheduled Reward Accounting V2 rules at block
569,423. Miners, pools, public nodes, and other validating operators must
upgrade before that height. Blocks below the activation height retain the
existing rules.

Operator action

• Replace the existing binary with version 7.9.4 before block 569,423.
• Restart the process and confirm that it reports alphanumeric v7.9.4.
• Upgrade every block-producing and validating deployment.
• Do not run an older miner beyond the activation boundary.

The upgrade requires no database migration, wallet migration, resync,
transaction-format change, or network-message change.
