PATUM 0.5.7 is out • After Update node, your node now announces the Bitcoin Knots version it really runs: the user agent line in bitcoin.conf is refreshed on every node update and check, and the panel reads the version from the node itself. • Before, a node updated to 29.4.3 could keep saying 29.4.2 and the panel kept asking to update.

PATUM Node StartOS 1.0.5 is out • PATUM (Knots) 1.0.5 (renamed from PATUM Node): Bitcoin Knots 29.4.3 (knots20260508, the official release, signature and checksum verified at build time), the release that enforces the rolling ~180-day coinbase maturity from block 979,919. • Update before block 980,020: after that a node on 29.4.2 accepts spends that 29.4.3 rejects, and a block built on it can be lost. • Same node policy as before (blockreservedweight=60000, no OP_RETURN data, no bare multisig, tokens and parasites rejected); the health check now reports Knots older than 29.4.3.

PATUM Node Umbrel 1.0.4 is out • Required update before block 979,919: Bitcoin Knots 29.4.3 (final). • From block 979,919 each new coinbase matures on its own after 25,920 blocks (~180 days); coinbases mined between 973,440 and 979,918 still unlock at block 979,920. • A node still on 29.4.2 would follow a different rule after that block, so update now. • Knots has not published 29.4.3 binaries yet, so PyBLOCK built them from Luke Dashjr's signed v29.4.3 tag (tests, symbol and security checks passed). • Same data and settings: nothing else to do.

ᛚ Laguz 0.1.11 is out • The first setup no longer fails with "app is busy". The first start creates (or restores) your node wallet and can wait for lnd or for a Bitcoin node that is still syncing, which may take a few minutes. The setup screen gave up after 30 seconds, and trying again failed with "app is busy". Now it keeps waiting and shows what it is doing ("Creating your node wallet…" / "Restoring your node from the recovery phrase…"). • Includes 0.1.10: restore from your 24-word recovery phrase (plus your channel.backup for the funds in channels), and wumbo channels up to 1 XBT on Umbrel.
