Nothing too “sexy” or crazy in this hardfork. It’s more or less some clean up to eliminate the last traces of Steem in the codebase, it institutes a 30 day delay between powering up Hive & being able to use it for governance voting, and makes some solid performance improvements so that blockchain nodes can be run more inexpensively, faster operations, etc.
