This updates the min protocol version to kick off older clients
Improves collateral charging
Changes the masternode payments keys, you'll only recieve masternode payments and be able to mine on 15.6
If anyone has that warning message, start the client with --disablesafemode --reindex

0.10.15.5 Release notes

I've made some huge progress with enforcement. Each masternode will have exactly the same distribution of payments after this.

0.10.15.4 Release notes

Fixed some issues with masternode payments syncing

0.10.15.3 Release notes

Incremented protocol / protocol version requirements due to the testnet-hardfork

Fixed a locking bug on inputs
Fixed a collateral calculation bug

0.10.14.1 Release notes

security update: This update simply verifies that the signature was not forged and that the masternodes entering the list are authentic.

0.10.14.0 Release notes

community release

0.10.13.14 Release notes

RC5 released!

0.10.13.13 Release notes

Bounds checking in a few places where it was lacking
Output list in transactions lacked random seeding
masternode constants for communication are much easier to read now

0.10.13.12 Release notes

disconnect on rejecting enforced block

0.10.13.11 Release notes

Improved handling of enforcement for bad masternode lists
Removed old masternode override code

0.10.13.10 Release notes

Changed splitting strategy to deal with some edge cases (endless splitting for a few users)
Updated stable proto version

0.10.13.9 Release notes

Testnet merges use two, while mainnet merges will use 3 participants
Fixed the endless splitting issue causes by splitting 1000DRK and not making a DS compatible input

0.10.13.8 Release notes

Debugged progress bar
New terms of use window
Darksend UI is disabled for masternodes now and titlebar says "[masternode]"
Improvement for dealing with splitting large inputs
Protocol version bump to kick old masternodes off

Added "-enabledarksend" cli option
Toggle button shows the basic configuration when started for the first time now
Added tooltips for config screen
Changed DS participants to three
Bump minimum protocol to RC4
Added a spork for enforcing masternode payments (this will ensure misconfigured pools break when we enable the spork)

0.10.13.5 Release notes

This should fix the endless splitting bug
Overview updates when you update settings and click OK now

0.10.13.4 Release notes

Fixed issue with denominating small amounts of DRK in large wallet (http://jira.darkcoin.qa/browse/DRK-46)
Made splitting up initial inputs much more efficient. Now when splitting up, it will use powers of two from 4096 DRK in reverse to get the best possible mix of inputs for the next phase without any bloat to the blockchain or to the users wallet.
Fixed "transaction too large" due to the initial splitting function
Stopeed collateral/fee creation when it should have been doing a full split instead
Sometimes the client would denominate less than the intended amount, then do small denominations to make up the difference. This slowed down the transactions and created extra transactions that weren't needed.
Darksend should anonymize very close to the intended amount now
Added Amount/Rounds to overview screen so you can see current settings
Overview darksend cache is cleared on settings change (will instantly update)
Fixed issue with completed amount jumping around (http://jira.darkcoin.qa/browse/DRK-46)
Made messages less threatening (http://jira.darkcoin.qa/browse/DRK-60)

PS : Please move testing funds to a new wallet. This version has massive optimizations for the way inputs are stored and split up. This will make everything much more efficient.

0.10.13.3 Release notes

This update deals with freezing, slow wallets, slow load times and the "not compatible" error. I debugged one of the slow wallets and found it had 38,000 keys in the keypool, then after more investigation I found the passive Darksend process has been reserve keys for every attempt! To rectify this I've modified the queuing system, so users wait in a masternode queue without actually sending the transactions until the queue is full.

Please move any testing funds to a new wallet to test the new version.

0.10.13.2 Release notes

Easy to read darksend progress bar (Mouse over for very detailed info)
Fixed a collateral bug
Moved around the overview screen, changed some of the text
Removed lots of debug messages (they show up only with debug=1 now)

0.10.13.1 Release notes

Fixed a bug where the client gives the error "No funds detected in need of denominating (2)" when it should have split

0.10.12.27 Release notes

removed inputs < 1 COIN from DS

0.10.12.26 Release notes

minor bugfix

0.10.12.25 Release notes

RC4 released!

0.10.12.24 Release notes

Reverted the pairing fix, seems the network didn't improve at all.
Inc protocol version

0.10.12.23 Release notes

Fixed an issue with pairing, hopefully it should be faster now
The client can now recongize it's out of fee inputs and make some more.
erasetransaction help (thanks BelStar)
inc protocol to kick off old versions

0.10.12.22 Release notes

All fees will use 0.001 sized inputs (they have no change so you can't follow them), all transactions now should look like this one:

http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/ce0ea2bdf630233955d459489b6f764e0d0bbe9e8a62531dd2a14b455626b59c

Client now creates fee sizes inputs for use in darksend denomination phases to improve anonymity
new rpc command erasetransaction. Some users have reported non-confirming transactions due to opening their wallet at multiple locations. This can and will create double spent transactions that will not confirm. erasetransaction is for removing them.
SplitUpMoney can only execute every 10 blocks now.
removed matching masternode debugging messages, that's not really an error
Client now prioritises sending denominated funds back into Darksend. This will improve anonymity and help to respect the "anonymize darkcoin" amount in the configuration.
fixed a bug where masternodes send failed transactions
changed max to 100k in configuration
added a warning message to startup (delete ~/.darkcoin/.agree_to_tou to see it)
found a bug causing inputs to get locked forever.
Darksend now checks diskspace before sending anything to a masternode.
incrementing protocol version to knock all old clients off

0.10.12.21 Release notes

Majorly improved the way darksend participants are paired together. It should be super fast now.

0.10.12.20 Release notes

Disabled collateral charging for now. We'll work on this after RC4 is released and update the masternode network after it's working properly. It's not incredibly important at this stage (while we're closed source), so I don't want it holding up the release. Plus it's really the only issue we're experiencing
Merged rebroad's (https://github.com/rebroad) changes to bring debugging output more in line with the bitcoin project. Output is now much cleaner and can be split by category.
Removed some debug messages
Merged mac/windows build icons
Fixed windows "Apply" configuration bug
Darksend now shows address instead of "n/a"
Incremented protocol version to kick off old versions that charge fees. Fees should be completely gone now.
Found a bug that was causing "not compatible" errors too often. This should speed up pairing.

0.10.12.19 Release notes

Added GUI configuration for Darksend Rounds, Enable Darksend and Anonymize amount of DRK
Removed 5000DRK hard limit
Fixed another cause of getting hit by collateral
Send dialog now shows selected balance (Anon, non-anon and Total)

0.10.12.18 Release notes

This version uses the new queuing system to seek out compatible transactions (where the same denominations are used). It's also enforcing these limitations now, so it might be a bit slower.

All transactions after this should look like this one:

http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/6de2c5204abdea451da930f61bae0f954eef13188a3a37a572a24c9d92057d5d

0.10.12.17 Release notes

I've switched up the way the masternode network works. 1.) Users now will join a random masternode (1 of the entire list, just completely randomly) 2.) Upon joining if it's the first user, the masternode will propagate a message stating it's taking participants for a merge 3.) Another user will check that queue, if it's got a recent node, it will try that node first, otherwise it will go to 1.)
Darksend limited to 5000DRK per wallet.dat. Client will warn about this the first time it's opened, then disable darksend from then on.
Fixed some bugs with connecting to the correct masternodes
Send was sending way too many coins for all modes, (I sent 100DRK anon and it sent 2000DRK, then sent me change for the rest causing a whole reprocess of everything in the wallet)
Client now updates Anonymized balance when you send money out
Fixed coin locking issues

0.10.12.16 Release notes

bugfixes

0.10.12.15 Release notes

Added session IDs for masternode communication. Clients were getting confused when they got messages about other sessions (sometimes happened when they all jumped on the same masternode at once)
Added a pre-session state where the client will query a random masternode and ask if they can perform a merge on N darkcoin without giving any other information. If that amount is compatible without losing anonymity, the client will then add it's entry for merging
Added code to randomly use the top 20 masternodes, this can dynamically be increased as more transaction traffic starts to happen (although it's not implemented but it could be done later)
After successful transactions clients will now automatically attempt another session on a random masternode, then repeat until they get any kind of error or run out of funds that need to be processed.
Fixed a change address reuse issue
Fixed an issue with the compatible join algorithm (Masternodes will only join the same denominations, this wasn't always the case before)
Inc protocol to kick old users odd again

0.10.12.14 Release notes

Fixed an issue where clients weren't connected to the correct masternode
Fixed masternode relay issues
Anonymous Balance now calculates correctly
Inc protocol to kick old users odd again

0.10.12.13 Release notes

This version automatically resets the masternode state machine after a short period of inactivity.
Updated protocol version to kick old masternodes off

0.10.12.12 Release notes

Fixed change calc for Denominations in GUI
Flare found a logging error for dseep, fixed
Collateral now includes a fee (sometimes they took forever to get into a block)
Found race condition with new blocks and clearing darksend entries that was causing some collateral fees
Found a communication mix up where clients would see messages from the wrong masternode and think it was theirs, also causing collateral fees
Added "Anonymized Balance" to overview
Added "anonymized_balance" to getinfo
Changed dropbox box on Send Dialog to be clearer
Added text to the confirmation screen with what funds will be sent
incremented protocol version to force masternode updates

0.10.12.11 Release notes

Darksend Denominate Outputs are now in a random order:

http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/072ca56cbf705b87749513a2d2ee02080d506adcf8fe178f6dc2967f0711788e http://test.explorer.darkcoin.fr/tx/32daa8ca46462e7e99f3532251d68a8c3835a080c937bd83b11db74e47b770ff

Darksend now uses 3 participants instead of two.
SplitUpMoney can now make collateral inputs when needed
Transactions now shows darksend transaction types for easier understanding of what's going on:
Fixed a couple more cases where collateral was charged when it shouldn't have happened (let me know if it happens after this version)
Fixed the money destruction bug, it was caused by "darksend denominate 8000". I missed a reference and the client passed an empty address to SendMoneyToDestination. rcp darksend source: http://pastebin.com/r14piKuq
Unlocking/Locking wallet fixes (was spamming the logs)
Unencrypted wallet fixes (was trying to lock every 10 seconds)
Flare found and fixed an issue with DGW3 for win32
Added Darksend detection to the UI
fixed senttoaddress, it will use all inputs when darksend is disabled now. Otherwise it will ONLY use non-denom.
"darksend addr amount" now returns the hash of the transaction it creates

0.10.12.10 Release notes

Another huge update to the RC client, most of these are stability fixes and anonymity improvements:

Removed "darksend denominate", darksend now will figure out the most it can denominate. Use "darksend auto" instead.
Fixed "Unknown State" display error
Fixed 0.0025 collateral issues caused by issues in the state machine, you should only be charged this amount now if you shutdown your client during the Darksend process.
Client will only submit 1 transaction into the pool fixing possible anonymity issues
Masternodes will only merge compatible transactions using the same denominations. For example (500,500,100) would be able to merge with (500,100), (10,1) with (10,1,1), but not (500,1) with (10,1). This improves the anonmity by not allowing someone to follow transactions by the missing denominations.
Transactions use unique change addresses for every output of each round.
QT GUI will now ask to unlock the wallet when it detects Darksend wants to do something and lock it when it's done again.
Darksend is turned off by default in the daemon now. In most cases daemons won't want to run with anonymity (pools, exchanges, etc), if a user does they can override the default setting with -enabledaemondarksend=true
Fees per round of Darksend are 0.001DRK or $0.00538 at current prices. This means to anonymize 1000DRK with 3 rounds (an average use case) it would cost a user 1.5 cents.
Protocol version is updated to kick old clients off testnet

0.10.12.9 Release notes

DS+ seems to be pretty stable now :-)

SplitUpMoney now calculates the balance correctly
Denominations are now 1 satoshi higher (denominated inputs will have to be regenerated as the client will not recognize the old ones)
SplitUpMoney does a better job of splitting up really large wallets now
Fixed crashing issues
Added possible fix for masternode list syncing
RPC calls are changed a bit:

darksend denominate 100 - Will denominate 100DRK darksend auto - Will run AutoDenominate darksend Xaddr 100 - Will send 100 denominated DRK to Xaddr sendtoaddress Xaddr 100 - Will send 100 non-denominated DRK to Xaddr

0.10.12.8 Release notes

Fixed a few issues with input selection causing the "Insufficent Funds 2" error
Masternodes now reset themselves when they give "entries is full". Not sure what's causing it but a client will just try again
Improved the split up function
Fixed issues with AutoDenom in wallets larger than a few hundred
Fixed a case for collateral charges where the client gave up when it shouldn't have
Input selection will now only select denominated, non-denominated or all inputs. This caused ds+ inputs to get interrupted by the splitting mechanism sometimes.
Added new GUI element for selecting which inputs you want to send
Fixed darksend+ rounds function, it was returning bad data in some cases causing darksend inputs to never stop being sent through darksend.
Fixed "Send" dialog to be able to use the different kinds of inputs available. Sending anonymous transactions should now work properly.
Fixed some coin select issues
Collateral selection issues
SplitUpMoney was sending denominated inputs and destroying the anonymity

DoAutoDenominate should work in nearly all cases now. However, there are some known issues:

Random collateral charges (still will happen, but it's more uncommon.)
Password protected wallets

Testing commands, you can start multiple wallets up and all denominate on the same masternode for testing purposes: /darkcoin-qt -datadir=/home/user/.darkcoin -listen=0 -darksendrounds=8 -usemasternode="192.168.56.102:19999" /darkcoin-qt -datadir=/home/user/.darkcoin2 -listen=0 -darksendrounds=8 -usemasternode="192.168.56.102:19999"

and even disable darksend auto-denom if wanted: /darkcoin-qt -datadir=/home/user/.darkcoin -listen=0 -darksendrounds=8 -usemasternode="192.168.56.102:19999" -disabledarksend=1

0.10.12.7 Release notes

Added a smart input splitting method. Place 1000+DRK into a brand new wallet and it will be split into many inputs compatible with Darksend
DoAutodenomination now tries the correct balance (it was getting stuck on the wrong inputs)
"entries is full" fix for at least one of the causes
Changed merging parties to two for easier debugging.
Fixed mod again (missed the one for the actual command you guys are using, I was overriding the default there)

0.10.12.6 Release notes

Fixed AutoDenominate. It seems to work pretty well now.
Inputs that are large will be broken up automatically for denomination
Masternodes should change every block now (missed a mod=10 last time)
Mixing requires 5 clients to merge now, should improve anonymity.
Mixing rounds are limited to 1000DRK, per block

0.10.12.5 Release notes

Masternodes should change every block now
DoAutomaticDenomination should happen every block now
DarkSendRounds had a bug that I fixed, should calculate correctly now

0.10.12.4 Release notes

This is a pretty large update to the RC client.

New column "Darksend Rounds" in coincontrol to show how secure a given input is
Fixed a few issues causing darksend to fail. We should see many more darksends occuring now if it's fixed.
Redid denominations to 1, 10, 100, and 500. Maybe this is too simple, but it seems effective, all change from transactions will de denominated automatically again through darksend for the next transactions. We'll see how it works.
usemasternode option, will override active masternode (only in RC, just for testing)

0.10.12.3 Release notes

min merged transactions

0.10.12.2 Release notes

Fixed payout issues (masternode consessus was paying out to vout(0) by default)
Improved DarksendInput add entry verification. Masternodes will now reject transactions that look like fees are too low, too high, have spent inputs, etc.
Incremented protocol version to kick off clients with vout(0) payment bug
DoAutomaticDenominations 100DRK limit changed to 500DRK (we should see a bunch of denominations happen now)

0.10.12.1 Release notes

Fixed a signing bug with the masternode voting system causing a bunch of issues
Updated unit tests
Incremented protocol version to kick off clients with signing bug

0.10.11.6 Release notes

resolves issue with wallet not syncing by adding the capability to retrieve nodes through dnsseed (see https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin/pull/21)
Linux 32 and Mac OS X are now officially supported platforms (see https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin/pull/17)
improved overall unit test code coverage (see https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin/pull/13 and https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin/pull/15)
minor documentation updates (https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin/pull/18)
improved distribution packaging (win: zip, linux: tar.gz, osx: dmg)
