7.0.6

Added

• Experimental support for IPv6. Node RPC and node-to-node interface hosts may now be specified as IPv6 literals in bracketed form (e.g. [::1]:8000), and addresses are consistently parsed, bound, connected (with fallback across mixed IPv4/IPv6 resolved addresses), serialised, and embedded in redirect URLs for IPv6 (#7671).

Fixed

• Forwarded commands are no longer processed until the node is part of the network, matching the existing behaviour for other node-to-node messages. Previously a forwarded command could be executed while the node was in an earlier startup state, which could lead to undefined behaviour for some commands (#7936).
