# Overview

This is the v0.17.0.0 release of the Monero software. This major release is due to the [October 17th network upgrade]({{ site.baseurl_root }}/2020/08/18/network-upgrade-october-2020.html), which in turn adds support for the [CLSAG transaction format]({{ site.baseurl_root }}/2020/07/31/clsag-audit.html) which improves verification speed and reduces transaction size.

Some highlights of this release are:

- Support for CLSAG transaction format
- Deterministic unlock times
- Enforce claiming maximum coinbase amount
- Serialization format changes
- Remove most usage of Boost library
- Always send raw transactions through P2P, don't use bootstrap daemon
- Update InProofV1, OutProofV1, and ReserveProofV1 to V2
- ASM optimizations for wallet refresh (macOS / Linux)
- Randomized delay when forwarding txes from i2p/tor -> ipv4/6
- New show_qr_code wallet command for CLI
- Add ZMQ/Pub support for txpool_add and chain_main events
- Various bug fixes and performance improvements

The complete list of changes is [available on GitHub](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/compare/v0.16.0.3...v0.17.0.0), along with [the source code](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/tree/v0.17.0.0).

A GPG-signed list of the hashes is at [https://getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt](https://getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt) and should be treated as canonical, with the signature checked against the appropriate GPG key in the source code (in /utils/gpg_keys). To ensure that the files you download are those originally posted by the maintainers, you should both check that the hashes of your files match those on the signed list, and that the signature on the list is valid.

Two guides are available to guide you through the verification process: [Verify binaries on Windows (beginner)]({{ site.baseurl }}/resources/user-guides/verification-windows-beginner.html) and [Verify binaries on Linux, Mac, or Windows command line (advanced)]({{ site.baseurl }}/resources/user-guides/verification-allos-advanced.html).
