zend v4.0.0-rc3
As the previous version of zend (3.3.1), this RC3 is expected to deprecate at block #1359120, which will occur on May 31st, 2023 at approximately 12:00 PM UTC. Please, update to v4.0.0 before May 31st (the final release will be available soon).
A hard fork has activated on testnet at block #1228700, which has occurred on March 13th at 14:37:43 GMT+0000.
Starting from v4.0.0, zend binaries for Linux will be released in only one version, which includes the AddressIndexing features that were previously only available in the bitcore version. This means that we will not publish specific bitcore versions.
