This is a new minor version release, including important security updates and changes to network efficiency.
All Dogecoin Core users - miners, services, relay operators and wallet users - are strongly recommended to upgrade.

This release contains multiple security related fixes:
This release changes the recommended dust limit for all participants on the Dogecoin network from 1 DOGE to 0.01 DOGE. The full recommendation can be found in the documentation.
dumpwallet

RPC methods, to exclusively write to the directory specified by -backupdir
and no longer overwrite filesaddnode
records that a node will track has been limited to 800liststucktransactions
has been added to help wallet operators identify if any transactions are stuck (have not been mined and are not in the mempool) and enable resolution. This helps in cases where node-local fee or dust policies change, to prevent the node from sending out old transactions that got lost.setmaxconnections
, has been introduced that enables wallet and node operators to change the maximum number of connections their node allows without needing to restart allowing for more fine-grained control of the node's network capacities.rescan
, has been added to allow node operators to rescan the chain for wallet transactions from a certain height. This can help speed up the rescan process for keys that are known to be generated after a certain date or block height.verifychain
RPC command no longer accepts negative valuesaddnode

This release can be installed over an existing 1.14 installation seamlessly, without the need for uninstallation, re-indexation or re-download. Simply shut down your running Dogecoin-QT or dogecoind, perform the installation and restart your node.
This release contains fixes for 2 high severity vulnerabilities that affect most Dogecoin Core users:
Dogecoin QT (Graphical User Interface) users on all platforms and wallet users on the Linux platform are urged to please update their installations to this version immediately, to prevent malicious actors from exploiting these vulnerabilities.
This release finalizes a new minimum fee recommendation for all participants on the Dogecoin network, following the reduction of relay and mining defaults in 1.14.4. With this release, the minimum fees when creating transactions are recommended to be as follows:

This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and performance improvements. It is a recommended update for all users.
This release can be installed over an existing 1.14 installation seamlessly, without the need for uninstallation, re-indexation or re-download. Simply shut down your running Dogecoin-QT or dogecoind, perform the installation and restart your node.
Prepares the network for a reduction of the recommended fees by reducing the default fee requirement 1000x for transaction relay and 100x for mining. At the same time it increases freedom for miner, wallet and node operators to agree on fees regardless of defaults coded into the Dogecoin Core software by solidifying fine-grained controls for operators to deviate from built-in defaults.
This realizes the first part of a two-stage update to lower the fee recommendation - a followup release will implement the lower fee recommendation, once the network has adapted to the relay defaults introduced with this version of Dogecoin Core.
Removes a bug in the network layer where a 1.14 node would open many parallel requests for headers to its peers, increasing the total data transferred during initial block download up to 50 times the required data, per peer, unnecessarily. As a result, synchronization time has been reduced by around 2.5 times.
getpeerinfo
now includes feefilter value for each peer, to be able to diagnose transaction relay issues.
This is a new minor update that includes important performance improvements. It is a strongly recommended update for everyone.
This release can be installed over an existing 1.14 installation seamlessly, without the need for uninstallation, re-indexation or re-download. Simply shut down your running Dogecoin-QT or dogecoind, perform the installation and restart your node.
Significantly improves the speed at which a node can upload blocks, by removing expensive integrity checks that were performed each time a block is sent to another node. When a block is received and during rescans of the locally stored blockchain, the checks are still performed.
Reduces the default time that transactions are cached in the mempool from 336 hours to 24 hours. This default setting can be overridden with the -mempoolexpiry
parameter by individual node operators to a value (expressed in hours) that makes the most sense for the use cases the node serves.

.All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, it includes an important bugfix to 1.14.0, and enables support for OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY
compared to pre-1.14.0.
This is a bugfix release which:
getauxblock
command. The target
field was renamed to _target
in Namecoin and this change should not have appeared in Dogecoin, for compatibility with previous mining pool configurations. This has now been corrected.getblockchaininfo
- the full block version number was used instead of just the last byte, which made it appear forks were triggered early.Note: We have skipped 1.14.1 as the last bug and its fix were found after 1.14.1 was tagged already.
This is the long awaited Dogecoin Core 1.14!
Please make sure, if you upgrade an existing version, to make a (current!) backup of your wallet.dat file! We have successfully upgraded existing wallets in our testing, but you should always keep a backup of that file regardless.
This version contains a soft fork to enable BIP-65 (OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY). The fork is locked in at 750 of the previous 1000 blocks. At 950 of the previous 1000 blocks with base version 4, the client will start to reject blocks with a base version of <= 3. For pool operates this means that they should update to the final 1.14 version once it is released asap, but at least before the fork is activated to not risk mining invalid blocks after 95% of the mined blocks are on base version 4. While this is not very relevant to end users you should still make sure to update to 1.14 final sooner than later.
Updating will also enable us to continue testing with the 1.17 client, so please do so.
Please note that getinfo
is deprecated and will be removed in the next Dogecoin release. There are now several different commands that contain parts of that data instead. Please see the release notes for detail.

This is the first release candidate of Dogecoin Core 1.14.

Important notes:
Please do not mine on the production network with this release, as it would trigger a soft fork earlier than expected.
This is the first beta release of Dogecoin Core 1.14.
The main changes since Alpha 4 include fixes for the macOS version and some branding issues we encountered while testing. This also marks the first binary release of Dogecoin Core 1.14.

Important notes:
This is the fourth alpha release of Dogecoin Core 1.14! It contains an important fix for https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-17144 and anyone running an earlier alpha must upgrade. This also includes other changes from Bitcoin Core 0.14.0 to 0.14.3 and some tweaks to parameters for BIP0009 version bits.
In theory we have an OS X build ready to go, and are waiting for a pull request to merge the fixes, and we can then build the beta/release candidate (TBD) of 1.14.
