It's hardfork day today! While on the front end Steemit.com looks the same behind the scenes all witnesses should be preparing to upgrade today or already have their node servers updated to 0.15.0. (thanks to @liondani for pointing out my earlier mistake)
(Screencap taken from steemdb.com)
Building the new version from github and resyncing the chain took just under 2 hours on my machine and everything went extremely well with no hiccups or errors found during the upgrade process. This was the 2nd hardfork I've been involved with as witness and this upgrade went far more smoothly than my last one! Glad to finally have the knowledge to upgrade to new STEEM hardfork versions without missing blocks and lagging the network!
The steem.global seed node will get updated to v0.15.0 shortly as will the streemit.online wallet. Will get those upgrades going here shortly as I continue the streemit development.

Big thanks to @smooth for showing me the below command to easily update my current STEEM installation. Do this in the folder you downloaded STEEM with via github and it will get your node upgraded! Worked 100% on Ubuntu 16.xx from STEEM v0.14.2
git checkout master && git pull && git checkout v0.15.0 && git submodule update --init --recursive && make
Vote @klye for Witness!
