RECOMMENDED UPDATE v1.4.1.0
IncaKoin version 1.4.1.0 is now available from:
https://github.com/madross/incakoin-new/releases/This is a bugfix release version who's primary purpose is to address
the issues with post-fork PoS block generation.
The hard-fork changed PoS rules from 100% every 90 days to 9% every 35 days,
however the code changes previously submitted failed to implement this change fully.
While the network would indeed accept a PoS block with an input age of 35+ days,
the client itself would refuse to generate a PoS block unless the input age was 90+
days.
This release includes a fix to such behavior, resulting in the client successfully
generating PoS blocks with inputs that are at least 35 days old.
Upgrading and downgrading
How to Upgrade
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/IncaKoin-Qt (on Mac) or
IncaKoind/IncaKoin-qt (on Linux).
Downgrade warning
Downgrading from this version to v1.4.0.0 is technically possible, simply replace
the binaries from this version with the previous version's binaries. However,
downgraded clients will not benefit from the PoS block generation fixes and
will once again be in a situation where the client will require inputs that are
at least 90 days old before generating a PoS block.
Notable changes since 1.4.0.0
Client-side PoS Block Generation Fix
Clients will no longer adhere to the old network requirements of needing
inputs that are 90+ days old. Instead, the client will adopt the new network
standards and use inputs that are 35+ days old.
This is a non-forking change as the issue was not with network acceptance,
but rather client-side block generation. As such, this release is not technically
a "Mandatory" release, but is recommended for anyone who wishes to participate
in staking.
Strict versioning and pre-release support
The build system has been updated to support the use of pre-release versions
as well as tagged versions. This is a security related update that formats the
client's version string based on the repository status. The particular structure
is as follows:
If the local source tree is consistent with a git tag, then the tag name is used as
the version string.
If the local source tree is consistent with a git commit, then the commit's short
hash is appended to the version string.
if any files have been modified, then the -dirty suffix is appended to the version
string.
This will hopefully help in identifying wither or not a particular build is indeed using
the official release repository, or if modifications have been made.
Correction of the Coin's Unit Name
The previous release(s) had an incorrect unit name associated with the GUI wallet.
The string "INCA" was appearing in various places that should have read "NKA"
