Dash Core version v18.2.2

Release is now available from:

https://www.dash.org/downloads/#wallets

This is a new hotfix version release.

This release is optional for all nodes; however, v18.2.2 or higher is required to be able to use testnet right until v19 hard fork activation. Earlier versions will not be able to sync past block 847000 on testnet.

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 18.0.1, the first startup of Dash Core will run a migration process which can take anywhere from a few minutes to thirty 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 < v18.2.2

Downgrading to a version older than v18.2.2 is supported.

Downgrade to a version < v18.0.1

Downgrading to a version older than v18.0.1 is not supported due to changes in the indexes database folder. If you need to use an older version, you must either reindex or re-sync the whole chain.

Notable changes

Testnet Breaking Changes

A new testnet only LLMQ has been added. This LLMQ is of the type LLMQ_25_67; this LLMQ is only active on testnet. This LLMQ will not remove the LLMQ_100_67 from testnet; however that quorum (likely) will not form and will perform no role. See the diff for specific parameters of the LLMQ.

This LLMQ will become active at the height of 847000. This will be a breaking change and a hard fork for testnet This LLMQ is not activated with the v19 hardfork; as such testnet will experience two hardforks. One at height 847000, and the other to be determined by the BIP9 hard fork process.
