Testnet push annoucement for 4/29

[sherryxiao]

Hi all,

We will be deploying a new version 7c4b87a to testnet . This will include some breaking changes, thus database will be wiped.

• [epoch change] changes the field next_validator_set to next_epoch_info to both reduce the data size and better represent the purpose. https://github.com/libra/libra/pull/3623
• Transfer script is updated.
• [mandatory waypoint] cli now have to specify waypoint directly with --waypoint or a url with
  --waypoint_url, start_cli_testnet.sh already has the url https://developers.libra.org/testnet_waypoint.txt included if you’re connecting to testnet using our script. Relevant PR https://github.com/libra/libra/pull/3553

We expect the testnet to be down briefly during the update.

Release finished. testnet branch updated to 7c4b87a

Seems faucet doesn’t have waypoint specified, thus it’s not working. We’re looking into fixing this right now

explorer.moveonlibra.com is updated to run with Testnet 4/29. Major updates:

• changes the field next_validator_set to next_epoch_info
• parse all transaction scripts, such as ‘preburn’, ‘burn’, ‘peer to peer with metadata’ etc.
• only show transactions submited by user at home page, exclude block metadata.

It seems that the docker files were not updated after the waypoint changes. Is it just client/ and mint/ or any other dockerfiles that needs this change?
