🔇 Additional comments (8)

dash-network/README.md (1)

22-22: LGTM! Version bump aligns with release.

The dependency version correctly reflects the 0.41.0 release version bumped in the workspace Cargo.toml.

dash-spv/CODE_ANALYSIS_SUMMARY.md (1)

5-5: LGTM! Documentation version correctly updated.

The Codebase Version field properly reflects the 0.41.0 release.

Cargo.toml (1)

6-6: LGTM! Workspace version bumped for release.

The workspace version correctly advances from 0.40.0 to 0.41.0. Note that the API remains unstable (version 0.x.x), so breaking changes may occur in minor version updates as documented in the coding guidelines.

dash-spv/ARCHITECTURE.md (1)

3-3: LGTM! Architecture documentation version updated.

The version field correctly reflects the 0.41.0 release.

CLAUDE.md (2)

168-168: LGTM! Development branch correctly updated.

The development branch is properly set to v0.42-dev, which is the next development cycle after the 0.41.0 release.

---

175-175: LGTM! Dash Core version support expanded.

The supported version range now includes 0.18.0 through 0.23.x, which aligns with the changes in README.md.

CHANGELOG.md (1)

1-107: LGTM! Comprehensive and well-formatted changelog.

The 0.41.0 changelog entry is excellent:

• Follows Keep a Changelog format
• Properly categorized into Added, Changed, Removed, and Fixed sections
• All entries include PR numbers and contributor attribution
• Comprehensive coverage of significant changes across the project

As per coding guidelines, this properly documents user-facing changes.

README.md (1)

95-101: LGTM! Version support documentation is accurate.

README.md changes are confirmed to be consistent with CLAUDE.md, which states "Support for Dash Core versions 0.18.0 - 0.23.x". The version ranges (0.18.x through 0.23.x) are properly documented.

The wording change from "officially supported and automatically tested" to just "officially supported" is appropriate: CI integration tests against multiple Dash Core versions are currently disabled (integrations_tests job is disabled in rust.yml). The documentation now accurately reflects that these versions are supported but not actively tested in CI.
