Indigo MWSS 2

For IMWSS2 users will be requested to upgrade their colonies to v16.

The GnosisChain ColonyNetwork remains at:

gno: 0x78163f593D1Fa151B4B7cacD146586aD2b686294

but has not been updated with this deployment.

Colony is now primarily deployed on Arbitrum One. The address for this deployment is intended to be the same on all chains going forward, and is

Green LWSS 2

For Green LWSS 2, users will be requested to upgrade their colonies to v11, as well as upgrade OneTxPayment and VotingReputation. This is not yet available in the app but will be in the new year.

Fuschia LWSS 3

Note: This release was made on the 22nd of August - this is a release on GitHub purely for posterity / keeping everything aligned, and these notes are written as if they were contemporaneous with that release

This is the second of a two-stage release to fix an issue introduced in VotingReputation with the introduction of metatransactions. After the previous version fixed the storage layout to prevent the number of badly-created motions increasing, this version adds a new function that is public (i.e. callable by anyone) that returns 'ghost' stakes to users that were made in motions created with the bad version. The intention is that we (at Colony) will call this function where required once extensions have been upgraded to this version.

Users will be asked to upgrade their VotingReputation extensions to version 6.
