Dear @kovan-validators ,
Parity has released stable version 2.4.7 , we suggest to update parity binaries on the nodes of Kovan network.
POA has updated its validator and bootnodes a few days ago and didn’t find any new issues so far.
Since this is the first time we do this kind of update, we propose to do it one-by-one (say, in alphabetical order, so starting with Lab10 @tze42 ) to minimize possible downtime:
- Lab10
- PepperSec
- POA
- Polymath
You can use our ansible playbook to run the update - on step 2 you would need to set GENESIS_BRANCH
to "kovan"
.
Please post questions/issues below or in the private support forum if you have any.
NOTE: after restart you may encounter a known parity bug, see more info and how to restore blockchain database in https://forum.poa.network/t/update-parity-version/2663
Thank you
