Cardano ships node 11.1.1 ahead of Dijkstra

Cardano released node version 11.1.1 ahead of its next major network era, completing the first of four planned node milestones supporting the Dijkstra hard fork. Summary Cardano node 11.1.1 has shipped, removing legacy tracing and addressing known Genesis-related operational issues. Node 11.2 will open most Dijkstra features for testing while excluding Leios consensus components initially. DijkstraNet is expected after node 11.2 for Plutus V4, nested transactions and CIP-50 testing publicly. Intersect’s moderate-confidence hard-fork window runs December 5 through January 4, pending readiness and governance approval. Peras remains planned for a separate intra-era hard fork during the second quarter of 2027. Intersect’s container registry shows that version 11.1.1 was published during the weekend ending Sept. 6. The release removes Cardano’s legacy tracing system and addresses known Genesis-related issues. It also responds to increased memory use identified during testing of node 11.1.0. The maintenance release arrived as Intersect published a more detailed Dijkstra schedule. Node versions 11.2 and 11.3, followed by the final protocol version 12 release, will progressively introduce ...
