DigiByte Core v7.17.3

The DigiByte Team are thrilled to announce that v7.17.3 has now been released. This upgrade, lays the foundation for the upcoming DigiByte 8 upgrade.

What's new?

In this build we have cemented a new workflow process based on the Atlassian Gitflow Workflow, as well as correcting all of the Unit Tests to ensure that all commits maintain underlying stability and consensus. Initial work has also been done on tidying the emissions code output, which will be further tweaked in DigiByte version 8. Finally, Gitian keys have also been updated for a number of people to further ensure the safety of released binaries.

Who should upgrade?

This release does not make any consensus level changes, nor does it add or remove any features. As such if you are currently running DigiByte version 7.17.2, there is little to no need to upgrade. However, if you would like to run the Unit Tests, you can do-so with 7.17.3

This release predominantly serves as the basis for version 8, while also acting as a confirmation of the new development process, cementing the work done for the future of the project.
