Feb 1, 2026

February 2026 monthly summary for Concordium-node: Security hardening was the primary focus this month, delivering a default security enhancement by disabling Administrative gRPC endpoints unless explicitly enabled in configuration. This aligns with security best practices and reduces exposure of sensitive admin interfaces. Release readiness was supported via changelog update and version bump to 10.0.5. No major bugs fixed in this period; bug fixes remain in the backlog and will be prioritized in upcoming sprints.
