Cardano Node 9.1.0
Cardano node 9.1.0 includes all the features that are necessary to be able to cross the upcoming Chang hard fork. The main change from node 9.0.0 is that node 9.1.0 requires a Conway genesis file at startup, where the genesis file was optional in node 9.0.0. This file is needed to cross the Chang hard fork. The necessary Conway genesis and other configuration files can be found here.
This release also incorporates a number of bug fixes and enhancements to the CLI and API, including a "query treasury" command, and changes to ensure compatibility with CIP69 and CIP119.
SPOs and other critical node users (exchanges, explorers, wallets, etc.) are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version of the node. An update proposal to trigger the Chang hard fork will be submitted when sufficient SPOs and exchanges have upgraded to this version.
Known Issues
Cardano-cli shows wrong sync percentage on query tip. Being fixed in IntersectMBO/cardano-cli#851.
