# Secret Network v1.7/1.8

## 1.8.0

Fixed a critical bug in 1.7.0 that prevented new nodes from joining the network and existing nodes from restarting their secretd process.

## 1.7.0

* Added the ability to [rotate consensus seed](/secret-network-documentation/introduction/secret-network-techstack/privacy-technology/encryption-key-management/consensus-seed-rotation.md) during a network upgrade
  * this will be executed during this upgrade
* Added expedited gov proposals
  * Initial params (can be amended with a param change proposal):
    * Minimum deposit: 750 SCRT
    * Voting time: 24 hours
    * Voting treshhold: 2/3 yes to pass
  * If an expedited proposal fails to meet the threshold within the scope of shorter voting duration, the expedited proposal is then converted to a regular proposal and restarts voting under regular voting conditions.
* Added [auto-restaking](/secret-network-documentation/development/development-concepts/secret-contract-fundamentals/auto-restaking.md) - an opt-in feature that enables automatic compounding of staking rewards
* Added [light-client validation](/secret-network-documentation/development/development-concepts/secret-contract-fundamentals/secret-contracts.md) for blocks
  * Protects against leaking private data using an offline fork attack
  * Enables trusted block heights and block time to be relied on by contracts

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/infrastructure/versioning-and-changelog/secret-network-v1.7-wip.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
