The Aleph Zero team has just released a new version of Aleph Node featuring ink! 4.0.0-beta smart contracts, a major Substrate update that brings a new weight system (V2), a new networking layer used by validators to communicate with one another, and an updated version of AlephBFT consensus featuring a new justification system.
Here is the timeline of the testnet update process (we’ll go into greater detail later in the article):

👉 Jan 12-18th – update window: all nodes need to update to r-9.0;
👉 Jan 19th – after ensuring that the transition went smoothly, the Testnet runtime and AlephBFT version are updated.
