Release Notes - v0.46.4

v0.46.4 (May 18, 2026)

Title: Broader genesis bootstrap support, richer Mithril sync visibility, and sturdier database handling

Date: May 18, 2026

Version: v0.46.4

Hi folks! Here’s what we shipped in v0.46.4.

Expanded startup support beyond SQLite deployments: Initial chain startup from genesis data now works with MySQL and Postgres database setups, which gives more operators flexibility when they bring up new nodes.
Enhanced Mithril sync visibility during recovery work: Mithril sync now exposes clear progress and stage reporting through monitoring, which makes it easier to track each major step of recovery.

Improved faster SQLite work on output heavy activity: SQLite now uses a more efficient lookup path, which helps output heavy processing complete more smoothly.
Refined keep S3 integrations current: The AWS S3 library update keeps object storage support aligned with the latest maintained dependency set.
Updated keep Google API integrations current: The Google API library update refreshes supporting integrations and maintenance coverage.
Strengthened keep Bitcoin utility support current: The btcutil update refreshes supporting components that depend on Bitcoin utility handling.
Clarified keep recent release history easier to review: The repository release notes now include the v0.46.3 entry, which makes recent patch history easier to follow.

Corrected keep genesis startup state consistent across database backends: Initial chain state now stays aligned more reliably across supported database backends, which reduces the chance of inconsistent recovery behavior after startup.
Stabilized prevent large transaction label overflows in SQLite: SQLite now handles very large transaction labels correctly, which avoids failures when labels use high value ranges.

Highlighted use broader database choices for startup: Operators can now start from genesis data with MySQL and Postgres as well as SQLite.
Emphasized monitor Mithril sync progress more clearly: Monitoring now exposes Mithril sync stages and progress so operators can see where sync time is going.
Accelerated expect faster SQLite handling for output heavy workloads: SQLite spends less time on transaction output lookups during heavy output processing.
Summarized benefit from steadier maintenance fixes in this patch: This release also improves startup consistency, keeps key dependencies current, preserves recent release history, and fixes large metadata label handling in SQLite.

Thank you for trying!
