Cardano Node 8.7.3
Cardano Node 8.7.3 is a patch release that backports ouroboros-network-4748. It fixes a bug in the outbound-governor which in rare (but reproducible) conditions could lose track of some outbound connection, e.g. a local root or some other node.
Benchmarking reports relevant to the 8.7.2 release are still applicable to 8.7.3 and can be found in this post on Cardano Updates.
System testing results for the 8.7.3 release can be found on the corresponding tag testing page.
