This release addresses an shortcoming in inter-node communications, ensuring that Protobufs up to 2^64 bytes in size can be communicated correctly. **If any node is upgraded to this release, then all nodes should be**. However this change only affects transparently-forwarded queries, loads, and restores, so a rolling upgrade is an option (as long as there is no such traffic during the upgrade -- if there is, clients may receive an error during the upgrade process).
### Implementation changes and bug fixes
- [PR #1089](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/pull/1089): Move to 8-byte Protobuf lengths for cluster communications.
## 7.9.1 (October 23rd 2022)
### Implementation changes and bug fixes
