 - **Dependency Update:** Upgraded go-libp2p to version v0.35.5 ([filecoin-project/lotus#12511](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12511)), and go-multiaddr-dns to v0.4.0 ([filecoin-project/lotus#12540](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12540)).
 - **Bug Fix:** Legacy/historical Drand lookups via `StateGetBeaconEntry` now work again for all historical epochs. `StateGetBeaconEntry` now uses the on-chain beacon entries and follows the same rules for historical Drand round matching as `StateGetRandomnessFromBeacon` and the `get_beacon_randomness` FVM syscall. Be aware that there will be some some variance in matching Filecoin epochs to Drand rounds where null Filecoin rounds are involved prior to network version 14. ([filecoin-project/lotus#12428](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/pull/12428)).
