+This is the fourth release candidate of the upcoming MANDATORY Lotus v1.28.0 release, which will deliver the Filecoin network version 23, codenamed Waffle 🧇.
 
 **This release candidate sets the calibration network to upgrade at epoch 1779094, corresponding to 2024-07-11T12:00:00Z.** This release does NOT set the mainnet upgrade epoch yet, in which will be updated in the final release.
