v0.78.0

Overview

v0.78.0 centers on connection stability, a few new configuration controls, and Helm chart improvements, alongside the usual dependency maintenance.

Reliability & correctness

• HTTP server now sets keep-alive and header timeouts to better handle idle and slow connections (#5438).
• Account pagination gained a lower bound, so high-activity accounts no longer hit PAGINATION_MAX errors (#5470).
• Disabled exponential notation on json-bigint values so large numbers serialize correctly (#5484).
• TracerConfigWrapper now tolerates unknown top-level params instead of rejecting the request (#5445).

New configuration

• New env var to disable Mirror Node prechecks in eth_sendRawTransaction (#5399).
• Configurable WebSocket payload size limit (#5425).

Helm chart

• RPS-based autoscaling and extraMetrics passthrough for the HPA (#5441).
• Operator credentials now require existingSecret (#5458).

Testing & CI

• Unified the WebSocket and HTTP test suites (#5312).
• Package artifact now tars src instead of packages, matching the unified package layout (#5408).
