Update from MaidSafe HQ

We’ve postponed Fleming testnet v6 release until next week.

We believe we’ve identified and now fixed the hanging issue, which was being caused by connections between nodes being dropped unnecessarily. We’re currently engaged in some final testing in house to fully verify this as resolved.

However, given the fact that it’s Friday, and with many of the team already finished for the week, we’ll spend the rest of the day testing thoroughly and preparing for a release next week.

There are a couple of other improvements we intend to make in the meantime, not blockers to v6 proceeding, but now that we have some extra time we will be making a couple of other modifications to fix minor issues and inconsistencies we’ve spotted along the way.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Good call to postpone the testnet, and you too have a good have a weekend! It is a fair weather in Helsinki, I hope that’s so wherever you are, too!

One thing I would still ask, is if you can let us know if the v6 will allow non-IGD nodes or not? If not, I could familiarize myself with my router’s IGD settings over the weekend.
