IMPORTANT: Classic Geth is a relict from 2016 and will only be kept compatible with upcoming hardforks to ease the migration paths for old infrastructure and services. Classic Geth, however, will reach END OF LIFE on January 15th, 2020. The Agharta hardfork will be the last hardfork supported by Classic Geth. The v6.1.x versions will be the last release track ever for Classic Geth. Subsequently, in 2020, Classic Geth will ultimately only receive consensus critical patches if necessary. There will be no further bug fixes or improvements released. The Aztlán hardfork in March 2020 will not be supported. As of today, it is no longer recommended to run Classic Geth in production. Please, consider migrating your infrastructure to one of the following clients:


RELEASE NOTES: This 6.1.1-beta release is enabled with Agharta protocol features as per ECIP-1056. It will allow for core developers and community members to start testing a potential protocol upgrade by manually enabling EIPs 145, 1014, and 1052. This release enables the following hardforks:

  • Mordor Agharta Hardfork Block 301_243:
    geth --chain mordor
    
  • Morden Agharta Hardfork Block 5_000_381:
    geth --chain morden
    

This release is considered as beta and still requires testing. Please, use at own risk -- for research and development purposes only. Geth Classic will no longer provide binaries. Please, consider migrating your infrastructure to Parity Ethereum, Multi-Geth, or Hyperledger Besu.
