ALL NODE OPERATORS SHOULD UPGRADE TO BITCOIN CASH NODE VERSION 27.1.0

Bitcoin Cash Node has released a security update, version 27.1.0, which includes significant bug fixes and reliability enhancements. This update, available on the BCHN site, addresses recently announced security vulnerabilities announced by Bitcoin Core, all of which are patched in BCHN 27.1.0. The worst case of these vulnerabilities is denial of service, not loss of funds so the Bitcoin Cash Node team strongly recommends all users to upgrade from any previous version to 27.1.0 as soon as possible.
