Cardano Is Gearing Up For A Big Update

Written By Francisko Kim

Cardano node and pool operators haven’t seen any updates since March 7 (Cardano Node 1.34.1). The last few version updates occurred every month or so.

The last three version updates:

  • Version 1.34.0 released 02/28/2022

  • 1.33.0 released 01/07/2022

  • 1.32.1 released 12/13/2021

While no version updates have been released since March, the GitHub repository for the project has been seeing constant updates.
Two of the most important folders/packages in the repo include the cardano-node and cardano-cli tools, both of which have been updated to version 1.35.0 yesterday. Two other packages were also updated to 1.35 yesterday: cardano-node-chairman and cardano-testnet.

Another update pushed yesterday included further explanation of the installation process for libsodium, a software library that allows users to build cardano-node. A faulty installation of libsodium would result in a failed build for the cardano-node.
