Announcing Gubiq 5.2

This article formally announces the latest version of the Ubiq full node, Gubiq 5.2.

Introduction

Gubiq 5.2 is based on the very latest v1.10.7 release of the upstream Go-Ethereum project and contains around 239 commits merged since the Gubiq 5.1 release that we made in July.

This release has been in testing internally with no issues.

This release incorporates the code that went into the latest Ethereum London hard fork (however does not activate the hard fork).

The next release of Gubiq 6.0 is anticipated to be a hard fork activation release. The hard fork will incorporate both the Ethereum Berlin and London hard fork EIPs. We do not however intend on incorporating EIP-1559 fee market changes which we will reserve for further community discussion.

There may be another minor patch release of Gubiq as the upstream Geth mentions a new security focused release will be released next week:

Gubiq 5.2

Gubiq 5.2 full node is now available:
https://github.com/ubiq/go-ubiq/releases/tag/v5.2.0

All services which run Ubiq nodes are encouraged to upgrade but this is considered an optional upgrade as there are no hard fork changes. Fusion wallet will be updated to point to the latest version and you will automatically be prompted to upgrade.

Enjoy!
