BitShares Mekong 6.0.1
The BitShares Core software has been updated to the 6.0.1 Bugfix Release. The codename of the 6.x releases is "Mekong". The Core software is used to build the validation nodes that perform consensus of all transactions on the BitShares blockchain. This release includes improvements but does not include any changes to the consensus protocol.
Documentation for users may be be found at How BitShares Works.
Documentation for BitShares developers may be found at the BitShares Developer Portal.
Who Should Upgrade
Nodes with the ElasticSearch Operations plugin enabled need to be upgraded to the 6.0.1 version before the BitShares Mekong (6.x) protocol is activated. Note: the scheduled protocol upgrade time is Tuesday, January 11, 2022 14:00:00 UTC (2022-01-11T14:00:00Z).
Other nodes can be kept at 6.0.0 or upgraded to 6.0.1.
Please check the release notes of the 6.0.0 version for more info about the BitShares Mekong update.
How To Upgrade
Precautions
- For nodes running versions earlier than
6.0.0, a blockchain replay will automatically be performed after the validation node software is restarted. This typically takes a few hours on a modern CPU.
