PLEASE UPDATE YOUR NODES: Last night, after completing QA testing, we successfully released a new node version (1.26.2).
This will address the block production issues we encountered earlier this week, by ensuring that block producing nodes do not unnecessarily re-evaluate the stake distribution at the epoch boundary. We’ll also continue to optimize this through future releases.
We are asking all stake pool operators install this update prior to the next epoch boundary, which takes place on Tuesday 20th at 21:44:51 UTC.
Full release notes can be accessed here: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/releases/tag/1.26.2
Please note: This point release is a recommended upgrade for all stake pool operators. It is not required for relays or other passive nodes, but feel free to update these too if you wish.
Thanks very much for your support and patience during this process, and see you all in the next epoch.

We'd like your feedback.
Well, there we go. A good smooth ride over epoch boundary 261. Thanks to all SPOs who updated to 1.26.2 in good time. If you have yet to do so, please ensure you do over the next few days. We’ll still continue to improve and optimize but thanks to our engineers for a job well done. Onward! 🙏

SPO Call paused for this week. All the key people who we like to have on the SPO call – Kevin, Duncan, Ger etc – are completely focused on getting ready to deploy the first Alonzo testnet (TLDR nearly there!). We’ll be giving the community an update on progress there this week, by the way, so keep an eye out. Thanks as ever for the support!
Cardano Node 1.27.0
Node version 1.27.0 provides important new functionality, including supporting new CLI commands that have been requested by stake pools, providing garbage collection metrics.
It includes the performance fixes for the epoch boundary calculation that were released in node version 1.26.2, plus a number of bug fixes and code improvements.
It also includes many fundamental changes that are needed to prepare for forthcoming feature releases (notably Plutus scripts in the Alonzo era).
Note that this release includes breaking changes to the API and CLI commands, and that compilation using GHC version 8.6.5 is no longer supported.
