v1.8.0
d800e9f

Please no longer use 1.8.0, as it is reported in very rare occasion that it may go out of sync. The issue should be fixed in the new 1.8.1 release. Please use the new version instead.

Version 1.8.0 is a maintenance release. It has the following enhancements:

  • For non-DV version, by default the blockchain check will not be performed. This is to accelerate the startup. The user can use following ways to verify the blockchain:
    (a) set flag "checkblockchain=1" in conf file, and the startup will perform the check
    (b) do it after wallet starts at QT UI: Help->Debug Window->Information, click on "Verify blockchain" button
    (c) do it after wallet starts through CLI command "verifyblockchain"
    For DV-version, the blockchain check is mandatory and config flag will be ignored. This is because DV will need to do checks anyway so won't save startup time.

  • Tightens some sanity checks when receiving new blocks.

Also it adds latest checkpoints to make blockchain more secure and includes miscellaneous small bug fixes.

Version 1.8.0 is not a mandatory upgrade, but users are highly recommended to upgrade, due to the better security of the wallet.

Windows Wallet Client V1.8.0-DV (DeepOnion-Qt.exe) is guaranteed by DeepVault, with verification address Dg9D3ZvXoLk6Ysw5SG8VVMiMDqXmWvEbjt.
