 ### Fixed
 
+- The block announces substream handshake of a parachain peer-to-peer network now properly contains the block that smoldot thinks is the best. The genesis block was previously always reported. ([#1012](https://github.com/smol-dot/smoldot/pull/1012))
 - Fix panic when removing a chain while a networking connection is being opened. ([#1011](https://github.com/smol-dot/smoldot/pull/1011))
