The Nearcore project has released version 2.13.0‑rc.2, a new release candidate that builds on the previous 2.13.0‑rc.1. The release notes indicate that the update does not introduce any protocol, database, or security changes, and the testnet configuration remains the same.
Key details from the release include a code snippet that confirms the version number and flags the absence of major upgrades. The release is marked as a candidate, meaning it is intended for testing and validation rather than production deployment.
The update incorporates two bug‑fix pull requests, #15969 and #15975, which address specific issues identified in earlier builds. These fixes are expected to improve stability and reliability for developers working on Nearcore.
Because the release does not alter the core protocol or database schema, existing deployments should not experience breaking changes. Developers are encouraged to run the new candidate in a controlled environment to verify that the fixes work as intended.
Once the Nearcore team confirms the stability of 2.13.0‑rc.2, the final 2.13.0 release will be published. Until then, the community can test the candidate and report any remaining issues to the Nearcore issue tracker.
