Gemini Sigma (v1.10.1)
Geth v1.10.1 is a minor release with the sole purpose of enabling the Berlin hard-fork! This hard-fork takes a step towards making opcodes fairer and lays the groundwork to new types of transactions, with lots of interesting features to be built on top.
The Ethereum Foundation will have a dedicated blog post for Berlin. The essential parts from Geth's perspective is that v1.10.1 is required for Berlin on all testnets and the mainnet too. Below you can find the fork blocks for the different networks and their expected schedules. Please ensure you are upgraded well in advance of the forks to ensure a smooth transition.
