Mar 1, 2025March 2025 delivered storage and stability improvements for Hathor Core with a focus on reducing memory reliance, improving reliability, and enhancing interoperability. Key features include a new temporary data storage option (--temp-data) to replace the deprecated --memory-storage, with updated builder and CLI support to promote persistent or temporary file-based storage. Major bugs fixed include a RocksDB dependency update in poetry.lock to address stability/compatibility issues, and the normalization of unknown TxOutput scripts to an empty dict to align with wallet-service expectations and simplify input processing. Collectively, these changes lower maintenance burden, improve backend stability, and provide clearer storage semantics for developers and operators.
