We are happy to announce the release of 19.0.0. This release includes binaries that you can download below.
Due to low availability of DCG support during weekends, we recommend upgrading on a weekday.
About this release
Dash Core 19.0.0 is the first major release of the Dash Core 19.x.x series. This major release contains new features, improvements and bugfixes and we consider this a stable release. You can find detailed release notes at https://github.com/dashpay/dash/blob/v19.x/doc/release-notes.md.
When upgrading from a version < 19.0, a migration process will occur. Although expected to complete quite quickly, this migration process can take up to thirty minutes to complete on some systems.
This release is mandatory for all nodes. Masternode Operators should upgrade sentinel to 1.7.3 or newer.
