Description

documentation release-notes-editorial

Walrus testnet-v1.56.1 (released from MystenLabs/walrus, published 2026-09-17T06:44:36Z) has no editorial summary in docs/editorial/.

The GitHub release has no content beyond the Full Log link, so the release-notes page has nothing editorial to show.

Follow the release-notes editorial SOP, or start from this draft:

---
title: Walrus v1.56.1
description: A maintenance release with no user-facing changes documented in the release notes; see the full commit log for...
keywords: ["walrus", "release notes", "changelog", "testnet"]
---

**Testnet** | September 17, 2026

A maintenance release with no user-facing changes documented in the release notes; see
the full commit log for internal updates.

The summary lives in this repository even though the release came from MystenLabs/walrus, so the fix is a pull request here.

After adding the file, run npm run gen:release-notes in docs/site and open a docs PR. Close this issue when the entry is live.
