The core developers have tagged a new 2021.10.18.0 Hotspot firmware release which includes some
bug fixes and a new blessed snapshot at height 1059841. This release addresses a channel selection
bug causing unnecessary incorrect witnesses and fixes a potential race condition when initializing
var-cache. Furthermore, the updated blockchain-core has improved state channel support for
router.
This is an optional but recommended update for manufacturers to get the latest blessed on-chain snapshots for faster hotspot syncing. This also addresses the "invalid channel" errors that some hotspots were seeing.
