Hello everyone, **dfx 0.29.0** has been promoted. You can read the release notes [here](https://github.com/dfinity/sdk/releases/tag/0.29.0). Before you install it, it is recommended to upgrade dfxvm to 1.0.2. See release notes [here](https://github.com/dfinity/dfxvm/releases/tag/v1.0.2). This is the version that supports installing the Linux/arm64 version of dfx. You can update it by running: `dfxvm self update` After that you can update dfx with: `dfxvm update` The major updates are: - Native support for arm64 on Linux - Motoko update to 0.15.1, see the 0.15 [release notes](https://github.com/dfinity/motoko/releases/tag/0.15.0). This release has breaking changes, and the [examples repository](https://github.com/dfinity/examples) has been updated to reflect them. - Canister snapshots can now be uploaded and downloaded with `dfx canister snapshot upload` and `dfx canister snapshot download`. (Note that this feature is not yet available on mainnet.) ---
