| 1 | +Dash Core version v18.2.1 |
| 2 | +========================= |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Release is now available from: |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | + <https://www.dash.org/downloads/#wallets> |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +This is a new hotfix version release, bringing various bugfixes. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +Please note that v18.2.0 was revoked due to a bug; this version fixes that bug. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +This release is optional for all nodes; however, v18.2.1 is required to be |
| 13 | +able to use both mainnet and testnet. Currently, v18.2.0 is not working on mainnet, |
| 14 | +and v18.1.1 is not working on testnet; v18.2.1 will work on both networks. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub: |

| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Upgrading and downgrading |
| 22 | +========================= |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +How to Upgrade |
| 25 | +-------------- |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely |
| 28 | +shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the |
| 29 | +installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Dash-Qt (on Mac) or |
| 30 | +dashd/dash-qt (on Linux). If you upgrade after DIP0003 activation and you were |
| 31 | +using version < 0.13 you will have to reindex (start with -reindex-chainstate |
| 32 | +or -reindex) to make sure your wallet has all the new data synced. Upgrading |
| 33 | +from version 0.13 should not require any additional actions. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +When upgrading from a version prior to 18.0.1, the |
| 36 | +first startup of Dash Core will run a migration process which can take anywhere |
| 37 | +from a few minutes to thirty minutes to finish. After the migration, a |
| 38 | +downgrade to an older version is only possible with a reindex |
| 39 | +(or reindex-chainstate). |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Downgrade warning |
| 42 | +----------------- |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### Downgrade to a version < v18.2.1 |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Downgrading to a version older than v18.2.1 is supported. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +### Downgrade to a version < v18.0.1 |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Downgrading to a version older than v18.0.1 is not supported due to changes in |
| 51 | +the indexes database folder. If you need to use an older version, you must |
| 52 | +either reindex or re-sync the whole chain. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### Downgrade of masternodes to < 18.2.1 |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +It is highly recommended not to downgrade masternodes below 18.2.1, as 18.2.1 (and 18.1.1) |
| 57 | +fix important bugs which may result in your masternode being PoSe banned. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### Downgrade of masternodes to < v18.0.1 |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Starting with the 0.16 release, masternodes verify the protocol version of other |
| 62 | +masternodes. This results in PoSe punishment/banning for outdated masternodes, |
| 63 | +so downgrading even prior to the activation of the introduced hard-fork changes |
| 64 | +is not recommended. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Versioning |
| 67 | +---------- |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Dash Core imperfectly follows semantic versioning. Breaking changes should be |
| 70 | +expected in a major release. The number and severity of breaking changes in minor |
| 71 | +releases are minimized, however we do not guarantee there are no breaking changes. |
| 72 | +Bitcoin backports often introduce breaking changes, and are a likely source of |
| 73 | +breaking changes in minor releases. Patch releases should never contain breaking changes. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Notable changes |
| 76 | +=============== |
| 77 | +See #5145 and #5142; these 2 PR fix important bugs in previous versions. Specifically, |
| 78 | +#5145 fixes an issue where qfcommit messages can be replayed from the past, then are |
| 79 | +validated and propagated to other nodes. This patch prevents old qfcommits |
| 80 | +from being relayed. #5142 is a fix which enables this version to function both on testnet |
| 81 | +and mainnet. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Changes |
| 85 | +----------------------------------- |

| 87 | +### The new RPCs are: |
| 88 | +None |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### The removed RPCs are: |
| 91 | +None |

| 96 | +### Dash-specific changes in existing RPCs: |
| 97 | +None |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +Please check `help <command>` for more detailed information on specific RPCs. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Command-line options |
| 102 | +-------------------- |

| 104 | + |
| 105 | +Please check `Help -> Command-line options` in Qt wallet or `dashd --help` for |
| 106 | +more information. |
