Cardano 1.35 Rolled Back
Cardano developers officially pushed version 1.35.0 last month on June 26, but has since been rolled back to the previous version 1.34.1 (originally pushed on March 7, 2022). A large portion of the update was to prepare node operators for the upcoming Vasil hard fork. The release enabled the use of the new Plutus capabilities after the Vasil upgrade. The 1.35.0 tag still exists but has been pushed out of the official releases, likely to work on some fixes.
Many node operators chose not to upgrade their mainnet setups from 1.34.1 to 1.35, as commit tags for 1.35.1 quickly followed the 1.35 release. Those that did upgrade noticed vast speed improvements.
The Vasil upgrade is expected to occur on the “last week of July.” The Cardano testnet went through the Vasil hardfork on July 3. Cardano developers stated they needed at least 4 weeks to allow operators and exchanges to test functionalities before the mainnet launch. Cardano has recently been making headlines as the most actively developed crypto project, exceeding 13,000 GitHub commits in June.
