The core developers have tagged a new 2021.11.02.0 Hotspot firmware release which includes two
critical blockchain-core fixes, firstly, blockchain core can now handle v1 and v2 block gossip
seamlessly; secondly, the developers noticed that the transaction_validity_version chain variable
definition was set incorrectly in the header file, this has been fixed. An unfortunate effect of
this is that transfer_hotspot_v2 support has been slightly delayed.
This is a mandatory update for manufacturers in order to correctly handle future
transfer_hotspot_v2 transactions once transaction_validity_version chain variable appears on
chain. Future notices will be sent in relevant channels.
