Represents a major release in Monero's history, over a year-and-a-half in the making. Some highlights: + +- moved from in-RAM database to a backend-agnostic blockchain database +- created an LMDB blockchainDB implementation (with the help of Howard Chu, the creator of LMDB) +- created a BerkeleyDB blockchainDB implementation +- created an OS-agnostic raw blockchain format +- built tools to convert between blockchain implementations, as well as import and export them +- added ARM support +- brought back 32-bit support (WIP) +- added QoS (bandwidth control) +- added [OpenAlias](https://openalias.org) support +- fixed all (previously broken) unit tests and core tests +- implemented daemonize for proper backgrounding of the Monero daemon +- drastically increased sync speed +- included block headers in the source +- designed and implemented a stealth payment ID scheme +- designed and implemented a unified address+payment ID scheme +- implemented a hard fork mechanism +- changed the block time to 2 minutes +- implemented the [MRL-0001](https://lab.getmonero.org/pubs/MRL-0001.pdf) and [MRL-0004](https://lab.getmonero.org/pubs/MRL-0004.pdf) recommendations +- added tons of simplewallet / rpcwallet / daemon commands +- added a dust handler to simplewallet +- created a multilanguage mechanism, implemented in simplewallet +- bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes +- completely overhauled the CMake (with the help of Kitware, the creators of CMake) +- added a bad peer auto-banning mechanism +- refactored a ton of code, added a ton of comments +- added a core crypto implementation based on SUPERCOP ref10 +- switched to a triangular distribution for output selection +- added multiple new mnemonic wordlists, including Russian and Italian +- created a "trusted daemon" system for remote daemon use + +In total this represents 922 commits worth of work by 9 contributors. This will probably be the biggest release in Monero's history, everything from here on out can be done as faster point releases. + +## Updating: Blockchain Conversion + +It is highly recommended that you delete the contents of your Monero working directory and sync from scratch. This directory can be found in ```~/.bitmonero``` on Linux and OS X, and on Windows in ```\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero``` or ```\ProgramData\bitmonero```. + +Syncing from scratch is EXTREMELY fast in this version, pretty much at bittorrent speeds, and will leave you with a fully verified blockchain. + +*Alternatively*: if you want to grab the bootstrap (NOTE: there is a new bootstrap format!) off the website then you can get it at https://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw - once downloaded you can import it with ```blockchain_import --input-file /path/to/your/download.raw```. If you're particularly brave you can pass the ```--verify 0``` flag to skip verification during import. + +*If you REALLY want to convert your old blockchain*: you can either use the ```blockchain_converter``` tool, or you can use ```blockchain_export``` to create a blockchain.raw, followed by ```blockchain_import``` to import it into the new LMDB format. + +## Official Download
