Animica 7.2.0: sync ingests fork siblings; 38,728 checkpoint

Three peers sat at height 38,728 for six days after a natural one-block fork because the headers pipeline discarded the winning sibling at every layer. 7.2.0 lets it through and pins the canonical block.

Animica 7.0.0: the address-freeze fork at block 42,000

Turns the node-local freeze-list into a network-wide consensus rule: from block 42,000 a block that moves funds from or to a code-committed frozen account is rejected.

Animica 6.0.0: security and consensus hardening

Closes forgeable signature stubs, unverified block-import signatures, unchecked header roots and plaintext wallet keys. Consensus changes are forward-only and height-gated; no genesis reset.

Animica 5.2.7: no more instant-block towers

Nodes could wedge on a locally mined tower of no-PoW blocks and appear to reset at random. 5.2.7 closes both sources of those blocks.
