Database migration? Does this mean I will need to delete the "data" folder for the update? Normally I will delete only the binary files when I apply the ckb update.

[driftluo]

no, just use the new binary run ckb migration -C your_data_path and wait for it finishes, then run ckb run -C your_data_path

It is recommended that you wait for 0.105.1 to be released before doing this, 0.105.0 consumes a lot of memory on migration, about 5-7G, and takes a long time, this will be improved in 0.105.1
