+## 0.104.0 "Globalization" (27 Nov 2023)
+
+We're updating NeoGo to push out a number of useful updates and protocol
+extensions as well as make it compatible with 3.6.2 version of C# node. The most
+invasive behaviour changes are VM-level protocol constraints imposed on the size
+of serialized stackitems and `NativeActivation` node setting removal. This version
+also delivers a set of smaller useful changes in the interoperability layer and
+native contract functionality including System.Runtime.CurrentSigners interop,
+`strLen` StdLib method and PolicyContract-based transaction attributes pricing
+as far as a user-facing `canceltx` CLI command and community-requested
+`--relative-path` CLI option.
+
+Node operators must resynchronize their nodes to get fully compatible state
+(which is confirmed to be compatible with 3.6.2 for current mainnet up to
+block 4483627 and T5 testnet up to block 3078762). Please, ensure your node
+configuration doesn't contain `NativeActivations` protocol configuration section
+as this logic is hidden under Hardforks starting from the current release.
+
+New features:
+* System.Runtime.CurrentSigners interop allowing to get signers of the currently
+  loaded transaction (#3058)
+* `strLen` method to native StdLib contract (#3208)
+* transaction attributes pricing regulation via native PolicyContract (#3155)
+* `canceltx` CLI command as an alternative to unsupported `canceltransaction` RPC
+  request (#3223, #3214)
+
+Behaviour changes:
+* reduce maximum allowed stackitem.Item size (#3185)
+* restrict maximum allowed NEF file size and prohibit large contracts deployment (#3186)
+* bind `NativeActivations` node setting to the `Hardforks` setting (#3212)
+* introduce serialization limit to stackitem.Item and fail large contracts deploy
+  wrt this setting (#3218)
+* add customizable `MaxRequestBodyBytes` and `MaxRequestHeaderBytes` RPC server
+  configuration setting (#3221)
+
+Improvements:
+* provide more detailed error on attempt to read non-existent service wallet
+  provided via node configuration file (#3210)
+* optimize emit of imported code for autogenerated RPC bindings (#3215)
+* documentation update (#3203, #3222)
+* add `--relative-path` CLI flag allowing to override configuration-specific relative
+  paths (#3206)
+* update code owners (#3216, @fyrchik will live in our hearts forever)
+
+Bugs fixed:
+* unify messages of RPC errors according to the RPC errors NEP (#3199)
+* limit maximum allowed number ad depth of transaction signers and witnesses per
+  RPC request that accept transaction (#3207, #3221)
+* forbid unknown fields usage in the node configuration file (#3209)
+* enable hardfork-dependant code starting exactly from the block height specified
+  in the node configuration (#3211)
+* require Notary native deposit to be valid for at least one subsequent block after
+  deposit transaction acceptance (#3211)
+* deduplicate unnamed event types for autogenerated RPC bindings and make the
+  binding generation order strictly defined and stable (#3215, #3220)
+* do not panic on trying to compile an import cycle (#3215)
+* state difference at block 3002333 of T5 testnet caused by difference at characters
+  escaping during manifest's `Extra` field JSON serialisation (#3225)
+* properly start node services that depend on native RoleManagement contract data
+  with genesis `Roles` protocol configuration setting specified (#3229)
+
