Can we call this list network updates and still put the DAO Hardfork. It should go somewhere but I am not sure where exactly. There have been three types of "Hardforks"

  • Upgrades
    • Homestead block 1_150_000
    • Spurious Dragon block 2_675_000
    • Byzantium block 4_370_000
    • Constantinople block 7_280_000
    • Istanbul block 9_069_000
    • Muir Glacier block 9_200_000
  • Network Split
    • The DAO Hardfork 1,920,000
  • Security Patches/Emergency
    • Tangerine Whistle 2,463,000

All of them need to be accounted for when creating a client. Petersburg only affects Ropten if I remember correctly.

## Hardfork Meta
## Network Upgrade Meta

Any changes to clients that effect consensus of the Ethereum Network results in a hardfork (See the `CORE` category of EIPs). There is then a "fork" in the blockchain where one chain follows the updated ruleset. A contentious fork is when a network split occurs because two communities form to continue supporting both the old and the new client codebases simultaneously. A split is not the typical case, as historically most upgrades have been adopted by the network wholly.

The Meta EIP representing the hard fork should move in to the Accepted state once the changes are frozen (i.e. all referenced EIPs are in the Accepted state) and in to the Final state once the hard fork has been activated.
