We have released 0.24.0!
https://github.com/Xcgtech/Wallet/releases/tag/0.24.0This release contains the newest Xchange Core 0.24.0.
## This releases' highlight features:
- New and improved re-targeting algorithm, "Xbuffer". This will help the network recover quickly after a mining power spike attack (from Nicehash & similar services), so after a serious drop in mining power the network no longer waits ~20 minutes for the next block.
- This algo will take effect at block 90000. Starting block number 90010, which we will estimate our network will reach it around 25th of December (Happy Holidays!), old core daemons and wallets WILL NOT be able to connect to the network anymore.
- New GUI Wallet themes, as the old ones were a sore-eye.
- Separation of the Escrow tab from the "Send" coins dialogue
- Lots of other minor stuff which we probably forgot to mention
## Masternode Operators
- For all NEW installs, the setup script will install the latest version, by using this command:
curl
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xcgtech/Wallet/master/contrib/mn-linux-install.sh | bash
- In order to UPGRADE your Masternode, please use the upgrade script we conveniently provided:
curl
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xcgtech/Wallet/master/contrib/mn-linux-upgrade20181217.sh | bash
Please be aware that the UPGRADE script will ONLY WORK if you initially used the provided install script, previously. We can not take responsability in upgrading other kind of setups/installs.
## Wallet Users
- For Windows users: you can just run the installer to upgrade, your data will be kept safe
- For macOS users: you can just open the .dmg, and drag Xchange to the Applications folder, as usual, replacing the old one.
