U.Today - developers are urging stake pool operators (SPOs) to update to the latest Node version, 8.1.1, which was released earlier today.
The recent update will enhance operations across the platform by distributing the previously epoch boundary-focused computations throughout the entire epoch.
This modification aims to make transitions between epochs, or time periods on the blockchain, smoother for users.
Cardano community member Rick McCracken shared that Node 8.1.1 also issues related to peer-to-peer connections (P2P) and the domain name system (DNS).
Resolving these concerns adds another layer of efficiency to Cardano's mainnet, making it a more appealing platform for both new and existing users.
The release of Node 8.1.1 once again demonstrates the developer team's continuous commitment to improving its blockchain technology.
The Cardano team strongly encourages all to update to this latest version, stressing its readiness for mainnet usage and the significant improvements it introduces.
Ignoring the technical complexities underlying blockchain technology, this update boils down to providing an improved and more efficient user experience on the Cardano platform.
