Notes
Nimbus v1.4.2 - "Upgrade procedure: Hotfix release"
This release is marked as low-urgency for all Nimbus users other than those who have updated directly to a v1.4.x version from a version earlier than v1.1.0 - for these users this is a high-urgency release.
Notable changes
This release fixes an issue in the upgrade procedure when upgrading from a version earlier than 1.1.0 to 1.4.x.
How can I tell if I've been affected?
If you've already upgraded to 1.4.1, you can tell that you've been affected if you're seeing the following WRN log:
Received invalid sequence of blocks
To re-iterate, this issue only affects users who are upgrading from 1.0.12 or earlier (released on 2021-03-10), and have not run any release in between. Everyone else can ignore this release.
Urgency guidelines
low-urgency: update at your own convenience, sometime within our normal update cycle of two weeks
medium-urgency: may contain an important stability fix, it is better to update sooner rather than later
high-urgency: update as soon as you can, this is a critical update required for Nimbus to function correctly
