## *May 31, 2018, 2:00 EST* - Testnet Halt

- A validator equivocated last week and Evidence is being rampantly gossipped
- Peers that can't process the evidence (either too far behind or too far ahead) are disconnecting from the peers that
  sent it, causing high peer turn-over
- The high peer turn-over may be causing a memory-leak, resulting in some nodes
  crashing and the testnet halting
- We need to fix some issues in the EvidenceReactor to address this and also
  investigate the possible memory-leak

## *May 29, 2018* - New Release
