+# About this release
+
+[This](https://github.com/aeternity/aeternity/releases/tag/v6.7.0) is a maintenance Iris and HyperChains release.
+
+It:
+
+* Improvement of the accounts tree garbage collection: A small node restart is no longer required at the end of each GC sweep.
+
+* A new runtime mode has been added: 'offline', which disables mining and sync, but leaves HTTP endpoints active. Controlled via the command `bin/aeternity offline [on | off | status]` (GH #4036)
+
+* The method `debug/channels/fsm-count` has been added as a debug HTTP endpoint (GH #4029)
+
+* It is now possible to use a custom file name for pre-funded accounts for testing, e.g. when using dev mode. (GH #4025)
+
+* Corrected nonce handling in tx events generated from oracle queries (GH #4027)
+
+* Internal fault escalation for the core modules was improperly configured, which could lead to protracted error conditions. (GH #4023)
+
+* When loading plugins during development, the node now automatically loads dependent applications (provided the plugin is built using rebar3) (GH #4020)
+
+* In order to sync testnet with OTP-24 (and later) we need a pre-Iris mapping.
+
+With regards of HyperChains it:
+
+* Exposes configurable parent chain cache size to the config
+
+* Changes the encoding of private keys in the config. Till now keys were
+  encoded as contract byte array (cb_...) but from now on they would be hex
+  instead. This is for better integration with wallets.
+
+* Enforces staker key pairs to be valid at start time: if any of the key pairs
+  is invalid, the node will not start.
+
+Please join the **mainnet** by following the instructions in the documentation below,
+and let us know if you have any problems by [opening a ticket](https://github.com/aeternity/aeternity/issues).
+Troubleshooting of common issues is documented [in the wiki](https://github.com/aeternity/aeternity/wiki/Troubleshooting).
