Update: We have been released Version 1.3.5 Including Home Networks hotfix 1.3.4.
The development of Ethereum began in December 2013 when two developers and a researcher who left the university decided to work together to develop this amazing piece of technology. We were later join By many like-minded individuals. Our first proof of concept (PoC) came on February 1, 2014. By the time we started the crowdsale on July 23, we had reached PoC 5 with a protocol that was nearing completion, achieving consensus among many customers. The team was ecstatic when we got our first, second, third, etc. million. It was crazy! Believing in our ability to deliver on the Ethereum platform was one thing, but seeing others believe in and want to participate in it was incredibly inspiring.
Somewhat later in October of 2014, Gav and I were sitting on the train to Zurich Airport when we thought the Ethereum conference would be so cool, we settled on holding it in November of the same year. It was a bit stressful for those who organized it (thanks to Aeron, Christian and Jason!) Davecon0.
When January 2015 came, we all knew that this would be the year we had to launch the Ethereum beta. Our PoC series concluded with PoC Hackathon 9 on March 5, and on July 30, 2015 we successfully launched Frontier. Miners from all over the world turned on their mining rigs, users ran their nodes and the network came back to life. It worked; There are no hiccups, no issues, and from a developer perspective, the release couldn’t have been smoother. In the following months, our team and community showed their true potential and awesomeness in dealing with problems on the network and resolving two bugs agreed upon together.
We felt it was very important to make it clear to our users how we feel about network security. Today, we are very proud to announce that we are finally ready to remove the deleted word “Secure” from our website to move to a new phase: Homestead. It will be the Homestead block 1,150,000 For the mainnet, which means the Homestead transition will be around midday on Pi day and the Homestead block will be for the Morden network 494,000.
What is Homestead?
Homestead is the second major release of the Ethereum platform, which includes several protocol changes and network changes giving us the ability to make further network upgrades:
- EIP-2 Major home fork changes
- EIP-7 Update Hardfork EVM: DELEGATECALL
- EIP-8 Compatibility with devp2p
Client versions
the He goes It will be an Ethereum (geth) version of Homestead Version 1.3.4 Version 1.3.5 It includes the above changes to the protocol and network. After the release of Homestead, the Go team will also be coming soon with 1.4 version, which is our big premium release and involves months of work. The reason we keep Homestead and our feature version separate is to keep Homestead version changes to an absolute minimum, making debugging easier when needed.
the C++ The Ethereum (eth) version of Homestead will be Version 1.2.0. Aside from the protocol and network changes, it also tries to be as compatible with geth as possible. You can actually use Mist and “get attach” with an eth node running in the background. In the coming weeks, we will be aligning key management with Gith. EVM’s new DELEGATECALL feature will be usable in Solidity for library calls (this has not been released yet). For more details, please see Release notes.
What then
Over the next two weeks, teams will come together to pave the way for future development of both the Ethereum protocol as well as a roadmap for clients and sub-protocols like Swarm and Whisper. Once we have a clear picture of the work that lies ahead, we will provide the details in another blog post.
