So, hive had a really good day today. I mean the price of hive tokens. This has come right after the announcement that Hive community will launch the Hard Fork 24 within a few weeks.
Here's a list of things this hard fork will bring to the hive community:
"Added support for computing hot and trending in hivemind (previously this had to be done by hived)
Added support for command-line completion when passing options to start hivemind
Fixed bugs related to when posts are deleted
Fixed bugs in various database_api and bridge_api responses
Fixed a problem computing trending tags
Fixed a bug in get_discussions_by_trending2
Fixed some date-related problems"
As you can see above, this hard fork is primarily about fixing bugs. Fixing bugs makes software more stable and reliable. Also, this fork will be the stepping stone for future hard forks for Hive's protocol improvements. Hence, it is quite significant.
I also want to highlight:
"Incorporated additional unit tests for @howo’s new code for updating worker proposals"
Reviewed and tested @howo’s code for converting treasury Hive to HBD.
This shows the hard fork isn't being worked on by the main developer blocktrades alone. Other hive community contributors are also making contributions and DApp developers are working along with the core developers.
This is a very positive development for the Hive community.
