Celo’s first main release after Mainnet is here! This is the new release of celo-blockchain v1.1.0, which is the first major release since Mainnet activation and the security patch of [v1.0.1](https://forum.celo.org/t/critical-security-vulnerability-for-celo-blockchain-1-0-0/553). This minor release is focused on the stability of the protocol and improving agility to make new changes. ## Details of the Changes Three nightly build tests were added to the existing e2e tests. They include a load test, sync test and mix version test. Furthermore, this release has added fixes to on-chain corruption issues such as[#1068](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain/pull/1068) and an[upstream 1.9.10 merge](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/20287). Other fixes are related to[fast sync](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain/pull/1081) and[aggressive eviction on the txpool](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain/pull/1149). Other changes include the following: ● `eth_gasPrice` for any gas currency [#1070](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain/pull/1070) ● Add `personal_decrypt` RPC [#1133](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain/pull/1133) ● Fix block format: Add epoch snark data to `getBlock` API [#1096](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain/pull/1096) ● Add `istanbul_getValidatorsBLSPublicKeys` (preparation work for plumo) [#1130](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain/pull/1130) ● Add RPCs for setting and query gateway fees ([#1038](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain/pull/1038) ) There are more changes that are shown in the release notes, so please do make sure to check them out [here](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-blockchain/releases/tag/v1.1.0). ## Running the New Version The timeline for this release as suggested by cLabs is the following: ● Cut the release (v1.1.0) ● **Week 1: Baklava testnet upgrade (1 week)** Validators and full node operators are encouraged to run the new build on the Baklava testnet first, in order to ensure the build’s stability. You can do this by pulling the Docker image for the Baklava testnet as found in the docs here: - [Running a Full Node - Celo Docs](https://docs.celo.org/getting-started/baklava-testnet/running-a-full-node-in-baklava) - [Running a Validator Node - Celo Docs](https://docs.celo.org/getting-started/baklava-testnet/running-a-validator-in-baklava) ● **Week 2: Alfajores testnet upgrade (1 week)** Once the new build has run on Baklava for a week, and the network looks stable, cLabs will upgrade the validator nodes on the Alfajores testnet. This allows developers who are using Alfajores as their testing environment to test any new changes that may affect their apps. ● **Week 3: Mainnet upgrade** Once developers have had a chance to test changes on Alfajores, and the network has been stable for a week, cLabs suggests that node operators upgrade their nodes on Mainnet. You can run the new version by pulling the Docker image for the Mainnet as found in the docs here: - [Running a Full Node - Celo Docs](https://docs.celo.org/getting-started/mainnet/running-a-full-node-in-mainnet) - [Running a Validator Node - Celo Docs](https://docs.celo.org/getting-started/mainnet/running-a-validator-in-mainnet) For more information about the release process, please checkout the docs: [Blockchain Client - Celo Docs](https://docs.celo.org/community/release-process/blockchain-client#distribution). The new version of `celo-blockchain` on Baklava is tagged with baklava release. So, you can pull the latest image from the following URL here: [us.gcr.io/celo-org/geth:baklava](http://us.gcr.io/celo-org/geth:baklava) It’s important to note that the Docker image has changed from `celo-node` to `geth` so it is recommended to use the `geth` image moving forward. After you have tested out the node with Baklava, you can begin pulling the latest image for mainnet as found in docs here:[Running a Full Node - Celo Docs](https://docs.celo.org/getting-started/mainnet/running-a-full-node-in-mainnet) The latest image is tagged with `mainnet` and `latest` so the latest image will be: `us.gcr.io/celo-org/celo-node:mainnet` and `us.gcr.io/celo-org/celo-node:latest`.

```auto $ docker run -v $PWD:/root/.celo --rm -it us.gcr.io/celo-org/geth:baklava init /celo/genesis.json Fatal: Failed to read genesis file: open /celo/genesis.json: no such file or directory ``` is this expected behaviour? no `/celo` folder in this image (`celo-node` has it still) ---

Hi, can you check the docs for running Baklava again? We had an issue with merging the updated docs so you were reading outdated ones. In the new updates, you won’t need to do `geth init` anymore. Let me know if you get stuck.
