so here we go, another hardfork event on the devnet. 😄

📣  DEVNET Upgrade for the hardfork1 event D1.6.13.1-hf1 Hello Validators, We are upgrading the DEVNET. We upgrade the nodes and we try to execute the hardfork event. This version D1.6.13.1-hf1 contains custom code for this event (to ignore the blocks generated on the other fork) and also new configs so the nodes can connect on the new network as we hane created a new network for this fork. - For validators that do not care about their local data/history: perform a clean db operation, upgrade and start. It's the easiest way - For observers that preserve all data or validators that should contain all data perform these steps: 1. download the DB archives from here: https://elrond-mainnet-db-archive.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/elrond-public-devnet/devnet-1694000000/14-Jan-2024/DevNet-Full-History-DB-Shard-0.tar.gz https://elrond-mainnet-db-archive.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/elrond-public-devnet/devnet-1694000000/14-Jan-2024/DevNet-Full-History-DB-Shard-1.tar.gz https://elrond-mainnet-db-archive.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/elrond-public-devnet/devnet-1694000000/14-Jan-2024/DevNet-Full-History-DB-Shard-2.tar.gz https://elrond-mainnet-db-archive.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/elrond-public-devnet/devnet-1694000000/14-Jan-2024/DevNet-Full-History-DB-Shard-metachain.tar.gz 2. replace your nodes DBs with the downloaded ones 3. upgrade your nodes to have their configs/binary to the released one 4. either set in the config.toml file the flag StartInEpochEnabled to false or set in the prefs.toml the FullArchive flag to true 5. start the node(s) - For Elastic Search DB maintainers, be sure that you remove all the data from the other fork by using the script found in this message: https://t.me/MultiversXValidators/212687 📅 There is no activation epoch for this release ⚠️  Do not upgrade your mainnet validators!
