-    Version 6.2.3 removes the V1 gRPC API. This removes the configuration options ``CONCORDIUM_NODE_RPC_SERVER_PORT``, ``CONCORDIUM_NODE_RPC_SERVER_ADDRESS``, ``CONCORDIUM_NODE_RPC_SERVER_TOKEN``, ``CONCORDIUM_NODE_DISABLE_RPC_SERVER_NODE_ENDPOINTS`` and their command line equivalents. An additional health-check service was also added to the V2 GRPC API. This service conforms to the `standard GRPC health service API <https://github.com/grpc/grpc-proto/blob/master/grpc/health/v1/health.proto>`__.
+    The 6.3.0 release contains the following fixes and improvements:
 
-    As part of the tokenomics changes the node has new configuration options that use the new terminology. The existing options using the legacy terminology are still supported, however they are hidden.
+    - Fixed a bug where ``GetBlockPendingUpdates`` fails to report pending updates to the finalization committee parameters.
+    - GRPC queries are now run in dedicated threads. This improves node resource management and increases responsiveness of the GRPC server in cases of high number of concurrent queries. To support this a new option ``--grpc2-max-threads`` (environment variable ``CONCORDIUM_NODE_GRPC2_MAX_THREADS``) has been added, which specifies the number of threads that the node should use for processing gRPC requests. If not set this defaults to the number of (logical) CPUs.
+    - The option ``--grpc2-max-concurrent-streams`` now defaults to 200 from the previous unbounded value. This makes the node defaults safer.
+    - Startup time of the node has improved on all supported distributions.
 
-    A ``DryRun`` endpoint has also been that allows simulating the execution of transactions.

-    The account map is now kept solely on disk in a separate LMDB database and it is no longer part of the internal block state database. This change results in significantly reduced resource usage for the node.
