Runtime release notification
Hello,
This is to advise you that the Polkadot community is currently voting to upgrade the Kusama Relay chain to the v1.5.0 release.
This is a major runtime upgrade that enables Elastic Scaling on Kusama, as part of a new scalability model described in depth here.
Breaking change:
This v1.5.0 release contains a change that adds an additional parameter to the dry-run functionality, which is a breaking change for the Runtime API. You can find more information about this change here.
We recommend that all ecosystem builders that are calling the DryRunApi upgrade their code to handle the function signature.
Important note for Ecosystem builders:
The v1.5.0 release contains a change that enforces switching from Version 1 to Version 2 of the CandidateDescriptor primitive used by parachain consensus and exposed in the events CandidateBacked and CandidateIncluded.
Tooling and indexers that display this information must be updated to target the correct version of the primitive by following the instructions posted here.
The projected enactment date for this runtime upgrade is 9th May 2025.
Many thanks.
