v0.6.0

General release information

This release focuses on runtime architecture modernization, protocol and interoperability improvements, monitoring enhancements, and release-engineering hardening across the Sv2 application stack.

Notable highlights include:

• Pool and Job Declarator Client migrated to the new synchronous APIs, and Pool runtime bootstrap/shutdown was refactored from a monolithic start loop into a structured typestate state machine (PoolRuntime), improving lifecycle clarity and maintainability.
• bitcoin_core_sv2 now supports both Bitcoin Core IPC v30.x and v31.x through versioned backends behind a unified API, with explicit runtime version selection and integration coverage for both compatibility lines.
• Translation Proxy behavior was improved in production-oriented paths: monitoring now includes asic-rs miner telemetry, SV1 mining.set_difficulty messages now use integer powers of two, legacy solo payout verification was relaxed for compatibility, and aggregated UpdateChannel forwarding is now guarded until the upstream channel is open.
• Protocol negotiation coverage was expanded with integration tests for JD mining mode handling, including rejection of incompatible SetupConnection flows when required flags are missing.
• Binary/protocol internals were cleaned up (binary_sv2 cleanup and self-removal), and deprecated job-store paths were removed in favor of newer upstream APIs.
• CI and release workflows were hardened through semver-check enforcement for published crates, faster CI tool installation via cargo-binstall, automated sv2-ui notifications for JDC/tProxy config-schema changes, continued stratum-core synchronization, and versioning/release bump follow-ups (including integration_tests_sv2).
