Today, we’re releasing new TEST versions of Daedalus as part of the final mile toward the #Vasil upgrade.
Preview 5.0.0 and Preprod 5.0.0 are test-only versions of the #Daedalus wallet for devs and SPOs working in the preview and pre-production testing environments. 🧵

Preview is an early-stage testing network for testing mature release candidates and new functionality. Pre-production mimics a production (mainnet) configuration and is the most mature network for final stage testing purposes.
Thanks to all members of the #Cardano technical community busy testing. Stay close to our Twitter for all the latest updates on how the community and exchanges is getting #ReadyForVasil

A new node version - 1.35.3 - has been released for use on the Vasil dev net and the new pre-production environment. As long as we do not encounter any significant new issues, this will be the version with which we’ll trigger the #Vasil upgrade on mainnet.
🧵2/9
This new pre-production environment has been set up to provide a ‘clean’ and more agile environment to test against 1.35.3 for exchanges and SPOs. We invite SPOs, developers #BuildingOnCardano, and exchanges to commence their final testing and integration processes.
