 # Lotus changelog
 
+# v1.25.1 / 2023-12-09
+
+This is a **highly recommended PATCH RELEASE.**  The patch release fixes the issue were node operators trying to catch up sync were unable to sync large message blocks/epochs due to an increased number of messages on the network.
+
+This patch release allows for up to 10k messages per block. Additionally, it introduces a limit on the amount of data that can be read at once, ensuring the system can handle worst-case scenarios.
+
+## Improvements
