We are very pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.0 of Evolution. This is a mandatory EMERGENCY upgrade for all Evonode operators. If you are an Evonode operator please update as soon as possible. You have around 4 days from the time of this announcement to upgrade. We need people to have upgraded at least 12 hours before the Epoch cutoff which is Tuesday, September 24, 2024 6:52:15 AM UTC. This is about the very end of day September 23rd in the USA but please don't wait till the last minute.
This is an emergency as it is necessary to prevent a chain stall that would have happened in early October once the contested username feature was out.
This means that there is no grace period if an Evonode does not update in time. If an Evonode does not upgrade in the next 4 days it will stall and will not be able to produce blocks or get new rewards. This is different from normal upgrades that will have a 1 Epoch grace period once the new version is locked in.
Hence we need to get at least 67% of the network upgraded by the 23rd/24th of September. Let's make this happen!
This release has a lot of goodies in it on top of the emergency fix.
