The Cardano team has been working hard on maintaining and improving the Shelley Incentivized Testnet.

As part of their newly established community outreach program, the company said it introduced a new version of the Jormungandr Node, v.0.8.7, to reduce technical debt and ensure a more stable network.

Network stability remains the number one priority for Shelley.

The immense success the Shelley Incentivized Testnet has seen since its November launch has pushed the company to improve its communication.

Last month, Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of IOHK, said that the team working on the incentivized testnet will begin issuing weekly updates about the state of the network to stay in touch with the community.

As part of that effort, the project manager for the Shelley Incentivized testnet issued this week's report, revealing what the team has been struggling with.

In a YouTube video, Dimitris Poulopoulos said that the network stability still remains the number one priority.

According to him, major improvements in the testnet were already seen with last week's release of version 0.8.6, as many members of the community reacted positively to the update.

The release contains network improvements that should both reduce technical debt and ensure a more stable network, he added.

While a lot has been done to patch up some of the problems the incentivized testnet has seen this past week, Poulopoulos said that more issues will be addressed in the next update.
