Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, released the first hard fork proposal of the Ethereum beacon chain. 

The hard fork is temporarily named "HF1", three key goals are mentioned in the proposal:

1. Add light client support

2. Fix some weaknesses in the beacon chain that were discovered too late to be fixed at genesis

3. Test the hard forking mechanism with a relatively small change, before larger changes (sharding, merge) need to be done.
