Dash Core version 0.16.1.0
==========================
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:
<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.
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 older than 0.14.0.3 is no longer supported due to
changes in the "evodb" database format. If you need to use an older version,
you must either reindex or re-sync the whole chain.
### Downgrade of masternodes to < 0.16
Starting with this release, masternodes will verify the protocol version of other
masternodes. This will result in PoSe punishment/banning for outdated masternodes,
so downgrading is not recommended.
Notable changes
===============
Network changes
---------------
InstantSend locks were not relayed correctly when another node was requesting updates via the `mempool`
p2p message. Some other internal optimizations were made to the way object requests are handled.
GUI changes
-----------
Fixes for the following GUI related issues
- The wallet crashed if no valid GUI theme was found in settings.
This happened for users upgrading from versions prior to v0.14.
- There were randomly occurring font size scaling issues.
- Opening or closing the settings while the application was in full-screen/maximized
window mode lead to fragmented GUI layouts.
- There was an unexpected checkmark in the "Encrypt wallet" menu item on Linux and Windows
- Starting Dash Core compiled without wallet support or with `-disablewallet` command line
parameter lead to an application crash.
RPC changes
-----------
- `getwalletinfo` shows wallet rescan duration and progress now
