+This is the first release candidates for lotus v1.13.0, a recommended lotus release that supports the upcoming 
+[Network v14 Chocolate upgrade](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/discussions/7431).
+This feature release includes latest functionality and improvements, like data transfer rate-limiting, rust-proof-ffi experimental CUDA support and so on. We *highly recommend* users like storage providers, data brokers, and so on upgrading your nodes and all subsystems to this release!
+
+> Note: This release candidate sets the upgrade epoch for calibration net, however, it does not set the Network v14 
+> Chocolate upgrade for mainnet. FIPs(FIP0020-0025) included are based on optimistic acceptance, things may well 
+> change according to the result of FIP last calls.
