Chainlink has released version 2.63.0, a minor update that primarily bumps the release number and provides updated container images for developers. The new release does not introduce breaking changes, but it ensures that users have access to the latest security patches and image digests.
The core Docker image is now available on DockerHub under the tag “smartcontract/chainlink:2.63.0” and on Amazon ECR at “public.ecr.aws/chainlink/chainlink:2.63.0”. The SHA‑256 digest for the image is “45d5028ade328cf15f28a950438c66f6b9d40c0fe16998dc6510777f69d9cd3f”, which developers can use to verify the exact image they pull.
Chainlink emphasizes the importance of image integrity by providing cosign verification commands for both registries. By running the provided cosign commands, users can confirm that the image signatures match the expected GitHub workflow and certificate issuer, ensuring that the image has not been tampered with.
For developers looking to upgrade, the release notes include a link to the full changelog and a diff view comparing v2.62.0 to v2.63.0. The changes are minimal, but the updated image digest and verification steps are critical for maintaining a secure deployment pipeline.
Overall, the v2.63.0 release reinforces Chainlink’s focus on delivering secure, reliable oracle services while keeping the deployment process straightforward for the developer community.
