Dash Core version 0.12.1 is now available from:
<https://www.dash.org/downloads/>
Older releases
--------------
Dash was previously known as Darkcoin.
Darkcoin tree 0.8.x was a fork of Litecoin tree 0.8, original name was XCoin
which was first released on Jan/18/2014.
### Downgrade to a version < 0.12.0
Because release 0.12.0 and later will obfuscate the chainstate on every
fresh sync or reindex, the chainstate is not backwards-compatible with
pre-0.12 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software.
If you want to downgrade after you have done a reindex with 0.12.0 or later,
you will need to reindex when you first start Bitcoin Core version 0.11 or
earlier.
