This is a new hotfix release.

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 < 0.17.0.2

Starting with the 0.16 release, masternodes verify the protocol version of other masternodes. This results in PoSe punishment/banning for outdated masternodes, so downgrading even prior to the activation of the introduced hard-fork changes is not recommended.

Notable changes

This release adds some missing translations and help strings. It also fixes a couple of build issues and a rare crash on some linux systems.
