超级节点带头
作为EOS区块链基础架构的提供者，超级节点要确保区块保持流动性、网络没有明显的终端。他们还和其他人一起，改进支撑EOS的基础架构和软件，这样EOS开发平台才能保持竞争力，带来优质的用户体验。
我们已经发布了EOSIO v1.8和 EOSIO.contracts v1.7的稳定版，超级节点必须相互协作，在EOS区块链上部署这些升级。
这些升级是我们第一次要求“硬分叉”，也不会向后兼容。我们要求节点进行升级，和链保持同步。
请注意：本处所指“硬分叉”并未暗示和EOS社区分裂，它仅代表我们做出一些改变以实现共识。升级完成之后也就只会有一个EOS区块链。
通用升级说明
EOSIO开发者门户-EOSIO开发文档
如果您是活跃的EOS开发者，请填写本表，帮我们确定最常用的API节点，完善超级节点的优先级资源。
未升级的节点将无法运行
未能在规定时间内完成升级的EOS节点会停止同步，其最后不可逆区块会停止工作。为了避免该情况，我们将会发布一个通用清单，列举其中的重大更改，并提供连接到开放论坛，以便用户能够在任何BP的帮助下解决问题。
我们也在不断整合快照和技术资源，加快每个节点运营商的升级进程。
现在可以登录测试网运行v1.8
EOSIO v1.8.0已经成功地在两个主要测试网，Jungle和Kylin，上部署成功。我们生态系统的其它部分在准备升级的同时，新特性已经完成测试、保证它们能够在主网运行。
我们鼓励所有的开发者加入Kylin和Jungle测试网社区。
不断改进EOS
过去一年里，EOS区块链保持了前所未有的发展速度，不管是从用户的角度还是开发者体验的角度都是如此。这次升级会启用新功能、消除过去的bug、进一步扩大开发者（向用户）提供无缝体验的能力、让用户更好地实现自己的目标。此外，这些升级还为Voice铺平了道路，Voice是Block.one最近刚宣布的将在EOS上推出的社交媒体平台。更多信息将在近期发布。请留意您当地BP，获得更多的更新信息。

Block Producers Leading The Way
As infrastructure providers of the EOS blockchain, Block Producers are responsible for ensuring that blocks continue to flow and the network is devoid of any noticeable disruption. They’re also partly responsible for evolving the infrastructure and software which underpins EOS so that EOS as a development platform remains competitive and continues to deliver elite user experiences.
With the stables releases of both EOSIO v1.8 and EOSIO.contracts v1.7, Block Producers must coordinate with one another to deploy these upgrades to the EOS blockchain.
These upgrades are the first to require a “hardfork” and will not be backward compatible. Nodes are required to upgrade to remain synced with the chain.
Please note: In this case, the word “hardfork” does not imply a contentious split from within the EOS community. It refers to a change to how consensus is achieved. There will be one EOS blockchain after the upgrade is complete.
General Upgrading Instructions
To begin, please review the general instructions available in the EOSIO developers portal below.EOSIO Developer Portal – EOSIO Development DocumentationDeveloper Portal for EOSIO. EOSIO is a free, open-source blockchain software protocol that provides developers and…developers.eos.io
If you are an active EOS developer, please complete this form to help determine the most used API nodes and help Block Producer’s prioritize resources.
Nodes That Do Not Upgrade Will No Longer Function
Any EOS nodes that fail to upgrade before the scheduled time will stop syncing and their last-irreversible-block will stop progressing. To avoid any disruption a general checklist of the largest changes and links to an open forum where troubleshooting may occur with the assistance of any BP available will be published.
Snapshots and technical resources are also being assembled to expedite the upgrade process for each node operator.
Testnets Running v1.8 Are Available
EOSIO v1.8.0 has already been successfully deployed on the two most prominent test-nets, Jungle and Kylin. As the rest of the ecosystem prepares for an upgrade, new features are already being tested to ensure they’re ready for the Mainnet.
We encourage all developers to join the Kylin and Jungle test-net communities.EOS.io Jungle Testnet – CryptoLions.ioEOS.io Jungle Testnet. https://github.com/CryptoLions/EOS-Jungle-Testnett.meCryptoKylin Testnet ENYou can view and join @cryptokylin1en right away.t.me
Continually Improving EOS
Over the past year, the EOS blockchain has maintained an unprecedented rate of improvement with regard to the user and developer experiences. The coming upgrades will enable new features and squash old bugs, further expanding developers’ abilities to offer seamless experiences and for users to more easily achieve their goals. This is all not to mention that these upgrades will pave the way for Voice, Block.One’s recently announced social media platform which will launch on EOS.
More information will be released as it becomes available. Please look to your local BP for future updates.
