Dash Core version 0.14.0.4
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Release is now available from:
|
|
|
|
<https://www.dash.org/downloads/#wallets>
|
|
|
|
This is a new minor version release, bringing various bugfixes and improvements.
|
|
|
|
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Upgrading and downgrading
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
How to Upgrade
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
|
|
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
|
|
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Dash-Qt (on Mac) or
|
|
dashd/dash-qt (on Linux). If you upgrade after DIP0003 activation and you were
|
|
using version < 0.13 you will have to reindex (start with -reindex-chainstate
|
|
or -reindex) to make sure your wallet has all the new data synced. Upgrading from
|
|
version 0.13 should not require any additional actions.
|
|
|
|
When upgrading from a version prior to 0.14.0.3, the
|
|
first startup of Dash Core will run a migration process which can take a few minutes
|
|
to finish. After the migration, a downgrade to an older version is only possible with
|
|
a reindex (or reindex-chainstate).
|
|
|
|
Downgrade warning
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
### Downgrade to a version < 0.14.0.3
|
|
|
|
Downgrading to a version smaller than 0.14.0.3 is not supported anymore due to changes
|
|
in the "evodb" database format. If you need to use an older version, you have to perform
|
|
a reindex or re-sync the whole chain.
|
|
|
|
Notable changes
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Fix respends of freshly received InstantSend transactions
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A bug in Dash Core caused respends to not work before a received InstantSend transaction was confirmed in at least
|
|
one block. This is fixed in this release, so that InstantSend locked mempool transactions can be
|
|
respent immediately in Dash Core (other wallets were not affected).
|
|
|
|
Deprecation of SPORK_16_INSTANTSEND_AUTOLOCKS
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
With the activation of SPORK_20_INSTANTSEND_LLMQ_BASED a few month ago, all transactions started to be locked via
|
|
InstantSend, which already partly deprecated SPORK_16_INSTANTSEND_AUTOLOCKS. This release removes the last use
|
|
of SPORK_16_INSTANTSEND_AUTOLOCKS, which caused InstantSend to stop working when the mempool got too large.
|
|
|
|
Improve orphan transaction limit handling
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Instead of limiting orphan transaction by number of transaction, we limit orphans by total size in bytes
|
|
now. This allows to have thousands of orphan transactions before hitting the limit.
|
|
|
|
Discrepancies in orphan sets between nodes and handling of those was one of the major limiting factors in
|
|
the stress tests performed by an unknown entity on mainnet.
|
|
|
|
Improve re-requesting for already known transactions
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Previously, Dash would re-request old transactions even though they were already known locally. This
|
|
happened when the outputs were respent very shortly after confirmation of the transaction. This lead to
|
|
wrongly handling these transactions as orphans, filling up the orphan set and hitting limits very fast.
|
|
This release fixes this for nodes which have txindex enabled, which is the case for all masternodes. Normal
|
|
nodes (without txindex) can ignore the issue as they are not involved in active InstantSend locking.
|
|
|
|
Another issue fixed in this release is the re-requesting of transactions after an InstantSend lock invalidated
|
|
a conflicting transaction.
|
|
|
|
Multiple improvements to PrivateSend
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Multiple improvements to PrivateSend are introduced in this release, leading to faster mixing and more
|
|
reasonable selection of UTXOs when sending PrivateSend funds.
|
|
|
|
Fix for CVE-2017-18350
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin silently implemented a hidden fix for [CVE-2017-18350](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2019-November/017453.html).
|
|
in Bitcoin v0.15.1. This release of Dash Core includes a backport of this fix.
