+- {{ tag(name="Generator") }} Chain configuration has been generalized to improve support for different chain configurations. ([PR #329](https://github.com/shinzonetwork/shinzo-generator-client/pull/329))
+- {{ tag(name="Generator") }}{{ tag(name="Host") }} Health checks now actively probe DefraDB, providing a more accurate indication of client health. ([PR #364](https://github.com/shinzonetwork/shinzo-generator-client/pull/364)) ([PR #382](https://github.com/shinzonetwork/shinzo-host-client/pull/382))
+- {{ tag(name="Generator") }}{{ tag(name="Host") }} Registration no longer suggests addresses that are unreachable by other network participants. ([PR #366](https://github.com/shinzonetwork/shinzo-generator-client/pull/366)) ([PR #367](https://github.com/shinzonetwork/shinzo-host-client/pull/367))
+- {{ tag(name="Host") }} Improved pruning behavior with cleaner shutdown handling and bounded pruning cycles. ([PR #357](https://github.com/shinzonetwork/shinzo-host-client/pull/357)) ([PR #360](https://github.com/shinzonetwork/shinzo-host-client/pull/360))
+- {{ tag(name="Host") }} Added a warning state to Host metrics for better operational visibility. ([PR #370](https://github.com/shinzonetwork/shinzo-host-client/pull/370))
+- {{ tag(name="Host") }} Fixed registration to preserve the forwarded Host port correctly. ([PR #383](https://github.com/shinzonetwork/shinzo-host-client/pull/383))
+
+**⚠️ Generator Upgrade Note**
+
+Generator operators upgrading to `v0.6.5.4-ethereum-mainnet` need to reset their DefraDB data.
+
+Back up your node identity key before removing the existing DefraDB directory. If the key is not preserved, you will need to register the Generator again.
+
+```bash
+# Back up the identity key
+cp shinzo-data/defradb/keys/node-identity-key ./path/to/new/location
+
+# Reset DefraDB
+rm -rf shinzo-data/defradb
+
+# Recreate the keys directory
+mkdir -p shinzo-data/defradb/keys
+
+# Restore the identity key
+cp ./path/to/new/location/node-identity-key shinzo-data/defradb/keys/
+```
+
+Once the existing identity key has been restored, you can start the upgraded Generator without re-registering.
