Sedimentation

This patch-release introduces several improvements and fixes for v0.6.0, and schedules the Osaka upgrade for MainNet. It's highly recommended to upgrade from v0.6.0, especially if you are running a CN or relying on the metric service.

Follow the instructions below to upgrade your node from v0.6.0 to v0.6.1:

1. Download new binary and new genesis configuration file from the release page.
2. Gracefully stop the node.
3. Replace the old binary with the new binary.
4. For MainNet nodes only: don't remove DB; reinitialize DB using new binary and
   new genesis configuration file with the following command:

   ./geth init --datadir ./node-datadir ./config/genesis.json
   

5. Start the node.
