v1.6.0 release is out!

lotus v1.6.0 is now available here and make sure you upgrade all your nodes for the network v11 upgrade to version v1.6.0 or up before epoch 665280 to stay in sync with the network🚨! There is a nice cmd you can use for extending v1 sectors and the instruction can be found in the release note.

The network has upgraded to v11!

📣The network has passed 665280 and you can now extend your v1 sectors' lifetime up to 540 days.

v1 sector extension CLI

Note: please be mindful of the base fee when you run the below command for extending sectors to prevent unexpected expensive gas costs for an extension! We recommend running this command when the base fee is low.

This release expands the lotus-miner sectors extend CLI, with a new option that automatically extends all extensible v1 sectors. The option can be run using lotus-miner sectors extend --v1-sectors.

• The tolerance flag can be passed to indicate what durations aren't "worth" extending. It defaults to one week, which means that sectors whose current lifetime's are within one week of the maximum possible lifetime will not be extended.

• The expiration-cutoff flag can be passed to skip sectors whose expiration is past a certain point from the current head. It defaults to infinity (no cutoff), but if, say, 28800 was specified, then only sectors expiring in the next 10 days would be extended (2880 epochs in 1 day).
