Footnotes

1. Steps:

   1. Add a new constant: Add a new constant in the list of versions. The new constant's name should follow the existing naming convention - i.e., VersionXX+1 Version = XX+1, where XX+1 is the new version number.
   2. Update VersionForNetwork function: In version.go, there's a function called VersionForNetwork that accepts a network version and returns the corresponding actor version. Add a new case line for the network version that corresponds to the new actor version you're adding - i.e, network.Version(XX+1): return Version(XX+1), nil

2. Add $(GO_BIN) run ./builtin/v(XX+1)/gen/gen.go ↩
