Bor v2.2.5 Mainnet

Hi all, we have released a new version of bor, v2.2.5 .

This is to fix an issue in v2.2.4 where blocks couldn’t be finalized in the first few hours after starting bor.

Steps for upgrading Bor node

  1. Stop bor service

    sudo service bor stop
    
    
  2. Install Bor with a version tag, network name (mainnet), and node type (sentry, validator or archive).

    # Replace the node type
    curl -L <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maticnetwork/install/main/bor.sh> | bash -s -- v2.2.5 <network> <node_type>
    
    
  3. Check bor version

    /usr/bin/bor version
    
    # It should print
    # v2.2.5
    
    
  4. Restart bor service

    sudo service bor start

Thanks for the update! Just upgraded my mainnet validator node to v2.2.5 - upgrade process was smooth, and block finalization now works properly after restart. For anyone still on v2.2.4, I recommend updating ASAP to avoid finalization delays. Don’t forget to verify the version with /usr/bin/bor version before restarting the service.
