# Release of Canton 3.5.14

Canton 3.5.14 has been released on August 19, 2026.

## Summary

This is a maintenance release with improvements for CantonBFT.

## What’s New

### CantonBFT Improvements

* Added a configuration option to override the view change timeout that is set via a topology transaction (SequencingParameters)
* Improved the DB query that loads in-progress consensus state after a restart. Now, nodes only load minimum necessary messages for rehydration, rather than all messages from the most recent epoch.
* Add check in mempool that local batches created are not too big.
* Further fine tune what messages get loaded as part of rehydration
* Add options in the SequencingParameters to make the view change timeout be dynamic.
