Summary

Note: it is possible that some relevant information may be missing from this summary; read the full log file for the complete, unedited discussion.

• Participants: 8 (UkoeHB¹, selsta², jberman³, ErCiccione⁴, rbrunner⁵, sech1⁶, hyc⁷, garth⁸)

• (1) Network update: situation

  • ErCiccione mentioned UkoeHB’s Multisig: signature fixes #8149 PR⁹

  • UkoeHB suggested vtnerd could potentially review #8149 before merging it

  • UkoeHB mentioned that multisig: add post-kex verification round #8220 PR¹⁰ is in the merge queue

  • hyc stated that the gitian arm macosx should be ready to merge before then

  • ErCiccione reminded everyone that everything should be ready by May 16th, as previously established¹¹

  • rbrunner and jberman have almost finished reviewing #8076¹²

  • jberman thinks #7760¹³ could also be included, if he can review it in time

  • selsta reminded everyone that this “feature complete” date was never really strict and PRs can still be merged after May 16th

  • UkoeHB answered garth’s question after clarifying that the multisig fixes are not consensus-breaking changes

  • garth thought that non-consensus breaking upgrades should not be listed in the already pretty long network upgrade history

• (2) Decide stagenet fork date/height

  • selsta suggested that the stagenet fork is usually 1 week before mainnet (July 9th)

  • jberman volunteered to handle the pull request and set the block height for the testnet fork (1982800 and 1983520)

  • ErCiccione summed up the definitive plan:

    • Branch/feature complete: May 16th, 2022
      Release date: June 16th, 2022
      Testnet hard-fork: May 16th, 2022, block 1982800 and 1983520
      Stagenet hard-fork: July 9th
      Mainnet hard-fork: July 16th, 2022, block 2668888
