Topic: [Alephium] The Leman Network Upgrade: Time to check your Nodes! (Read 125 times)
Are you sure you have everything updated? A lot has been done since the previous announcement and the “Hard” Talk held in January, and this post is an invitation for you to update your nodes.
February was a productive month with the release of the Full Node v1.7.0. After intensive testing, it is considered to be the last stable version before the Leman Network Upgrade.
The full node v1.7.0 possesses all the Leman Upgrade features but they are not activated on the mainnet. The full node v2.0 or the Leman Upgrade version, will essentially be the same as v1.7.0 with an activation timestamp for the Leman Upgrade features on the mainnet.
Deploying v1.7.0 across the network will allow assessing whether any patches are necessary before the release of v2.0. It will also indicate the propagation time of the update across the network which will help us to set a realistic activation timestamp for the Leman Network Upgrade.
Here is what you need to do!
