+## [2.1.1] - 2026-11-04
+
+### Changed
+
+- The loop that parses messages from a peer uses `loopForever` too, like
+  every other long-running loop.
+- Tests use IPv4 only: the mock peer is at `127.0.0.1` instead of `[::1]`,
+  and the address property test generates IPv4 addresses. On a host
+  without IPv6 the mock peer could not be resolved and the peer and chain
+  tests hung.
+
 ## [2.1.0] - 2026-11-03
 
 - Update to haskoin-core-1.5.0.
