# Dash Core version v19.2.0
|
|
|
|
Release is now available from:
|
|
|
|
<https://www.dash.org/downloads/#wallets>
|
|
|
|
This is a new minor version release, bringing various bugfixes and other
|
|
improvements.
|
|
|
|
This release is mandatory for all nodes. This release resolves issues around the
|
|
v19 Hard Fork activation. All nodes must upgrade to continue syncing properly.
|
|
|
|
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
|
|
|
|
<https://github.com/dashpay/dash/issues>
|

# 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.
|
|
|
|
At the first startup 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.
|
|
|
|
Please note that seamless migration is only possible on nodes which did not
|
|
reach the v19 fork block. Nodes that reached it can either rewind a couple
|
|
of blocks back to a pre-v19 block using `invalidateblock` RPC while still
|
|
running the old version or they can reindex instead.
|
|
|
|
## Downgrade warning
|
|
|
|
### Downgrade to a version < v19.2.0
|
|
|
|
Downgrading to a version older than v19.2.0 is not supported due to changes
|
|
in the evodb database. If you need to use an older version, you must either
|
|
reindex or re-sync the whole chain.
|
|
|
|
# Notable changes
|
|
|
|
## Resolve v19 Hard Fork Issues
|
|
|
|
One of the goals for the v19 Hard Fork was to activate basic BLS scheme and
|
|
start using it in various on-chain and p2p messages. The motivation behind this
|
|
change is the need to be aligned with IETF standards. Unfortunately, a few edge
|
|
cases were missed in our functional tests and were not caught on testnet either.
|
|
v19 activation attempt on mainnet hit one of these edge cases and mainnet
|
|
stopped producing blocks. As an intermediate solution v19.1.0 was released which
|
|
delayed the start of the signaling for the v19 Hard Fork until June 14th.
|
|
|
|
To resolve these issues we had to rework the way BLS public keys are handled
|
|
including the way they are serialized in the internal database. This made it
|
|
incompatible with older versions of Dash Core, so a db migration path was
|
|
implemented for all recent versions.
|
|
|
|
## Improve migration and historical data support on light clients
|
|
|
|
As a side-effect, the solution implemented to resolve v19 Hard Fork issues
|
|
opened a path to simplify v19 migration for mobile wallets.
|
|
|
|
With previous implementation mobile wallets would have to convert 4k+ pubkeys
|
|
at the v19 fork point and that can easily take 10-15 seconds if not more.
|
|
Also, after the v19 Hard Fork, if a masternode list is requested from a block
|
|
before the v19 Hard Fork, the operator keys were coming in basic BLS scheme,
|
|
but the masternode merkleroot hash stored in coinbase transaction at that time
|
|
was calculated with legacy BLS scheme. Hence it was impossible to verify the
|
|
merkleroot hash.
|
|
|
|
To fix these issues a new field `nVersion` was introduced for every entry in
|
|
`mnlistdiff` p2p message. This field indicates which BLS scheme should be used
|
|
when deserialising the message - legacy or basic. `nVersion` of the `mnlistdiff`
|
|
message itself will no longer indicate the scheme and must always be set to `1`.
|
|
|
|
## Improve mixing support on light clients
|
|
|
|
Recent changes to `dsq` and `dstx` messages allowed mobile clients that get
|
|
masternode lists from `mnlistdiff` message to determine the masternode related
|
|
to these messages because the `proTxHash` was used instead of the
|
|
`masternodeOutpoint`. Once the v19 Hard Fork activates the signature of `dsq`
|
|
and `dstx` messages will be based on the `proTxHash` which should make it
|
|
possible for mobile clients to verify it.
|
|
|
|
## Allow keeping Chainlocks enabled without signing new ones
|
|
|
|
Before this version Chainlocks were either enabled or disabled. Starting with
|
|
this version it's possible to set `SPORK_19_CHAINLOCKS_ENABLED` to a non-zero
|
|
value to disable the signing of new Chainlocks while still enforcing the best
|
|
known one.
|
|
|
|
## Other changes
|
|
|
|
There were a few other minor changes too, specifically:
|
|
- reindex on DB corruption should now start properly in Qt
|
|
- a mnemonic passphrase longer than 256 symbols no longer crashes the wallet
|
|
- a Qt node running with `-disablewawllet` flag should not crash in Settings now
|
|
- `-masternodeblsprivkey` and `-sporkkey` values are no longer printed in
|
|
`debug.log`
|
|
- should use less memory in the long run comparing to older versions
|
|
- gmp library detection should work better on macos
|
|
- fixed a couple of typos
