Hello all,  
I’m running a stake pool in testnet, the current version of cardano-node is 1.29.0  
I saw the new version is available, 1.30.1

Am I forced to update to 1.30.1?  
What happen if I do not upgrade? Am I able to mint blocks the same?

Thank you all  
Regards

Alessio Dini

if you still using 1.29.0 don’t update your gliveview cause it’s only working with 1.30.1

They said 1.30.1 is a required update, so I assume not updating might affect block production, but can’t tell for sure.

All SPOs and node users _must_ update to this (or a later) version prior to the HF to Alonzo PV 6, or risk not being able to sync to the network
