Compatibility
|
|
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
Dogecoin Core is extensively tested on Ubuntu Server LTS, Intel-based macOS
|
|
|
|
and Windows 10.

|
|
|
|
2018-02-04 18:10:29 +01:00
|
|
|
Dogecoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
|
2017-01-14 02:21:41 +01:00
|
|
|
frequently tested on them.

Important Security Updates
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release contains fixes for 2 high severity vulnerabilities that affect
|
|
|
|
most Dogecoin Core users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Remote Code Execution in Dogecoin QT (CVE-2021-3401)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release addresses CVE-2021-3401 that opened potential remote code execution
|
|
|
|
on QT (graphical user interface) wallets through malicious use of
|
|
|
|
`dogecoin:` URIs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Dogecoin QT users are urged to please update their installations to this
|
|
|
|
version immediately**, to prevent malicious actors from exploiting this
|
|
|
|
vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Sensitive Information Exposure on Unix platforms (CVE-2019-15947)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A fix for CVE-2019-15947 was back-ported from Bitcoin Core to prevent potential
|
|
|
|
leakage of sensitive information when Dogecoin Core crashes on Unix platforms.
|
|
|
|
The vulnerability is patched for systems that run a Linux kernel equal to or
|
|
|
|
higher than 3.4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Dogecoin Core wallet users on Linux platforms are urged to please update to
|
|
|
|
this version.**

Fee Reductions
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
This release finalizes a new minimum fee recommendation for all participants on
|
|
|
|
the Dogecoin network, following the reduction of relay and mining defaults in
|
|
|
|
1.14.4. The recommendation has been documented and can be found
|
|
|
|
[here](fee-recommendation.md). With this release, the minimum fees when creating
|
|
|
|
transactions are recommended to be as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the recommended minimum transaction fee is 0.01 DOGE/kb, and
|
|
|
|
* the recommended dust limit is 1 DOGE, and
|
|
|
|
* the recommended RBF increment is 0.001 DOGE.
|
2021-08-24 20:05:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
### Wallet/UI Changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The user interface for selecting fees when transacting DOGE has been updated
|
|
|
|
to give an idea of how much is being spent, rather than a block target. As
|
|
|
|
Dogecoin blocks are not full, typically all transactions are mined in the next
|
|
|
|
block, and therefore the target estimation does not makes sense for Dogecoin.
|
2021-08-24 20:05:12 +02:00
|
|
|
* Transaction sizes are no longer rounded up to the nearest kilobyte before
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
calculating fees, which significantly simplifies fee calculation logic and
|
|
|
|
makes it more similar to Bitcoin and Litecoin.
|
|
|
|
* The default minimum transaction fee is now 0.01 DOGE per kilobyte. Note that
|
|
|
|
you may see transactions take longer to be confirmed while using these lower
|
|
|
|
fees, until all miners have updated. The new fee slider can help with getting
|
|
|
|
fast-confirming transactions by sliding it all the way to the maximum, or for
|
|
|
|
both CLI and GUI wallet users, this can be made the default by setting
|
|
|
|
`-paytxfee=5.21`.
|
|
|
|
* Introduce `-discardthreshold`, a wallet-specific, configurable dust limit that
|
|
|
|
enables gradual implementation of the dust limit on the network side. Each
|
2021-11-02 22:24:17 +01:00
|
|
|
transaction created with the wallet will adhere to this threshold
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
rather than the dust limits used for relay, preventing stuck transactions. The
|
|
|
|
wallet will discard any change to fee and reject output amounts that are lower
|
|
|
|
than this limit. Until this release sees significant network adoption, the
|
|
|
|
default dust limit is recommended to stay at 1 DOGE, as versions 1.14.2 until
|
|
|
|
1.14.4 have a bug that rejects any transaction with an output under 1 DOGE.
|
|
|
|
* Derive minimum change from configurable wallet parameters `-discardthreshold`
|
|
|
|
and `-mintxfee`: `minimum change = discard threshold + 2 * minimum fee`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Relay changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Split the dust limit into a hard and soft threshold, to reintroduce the
|
|
|
|
economic disincentive for dust, rather than rejection introduced since 1.14.2
|
|
|
|
* `-harddustlimit` is by default set at 0.001 DOGE and sets the value under
|
|
|
|
which transactions will be rejected by nodes.
|
|
|
|
* The dust limit parameter introduced with 1.14.4 (`-dustlimit`) is now the
|
|
|
|
soft dust limit, enforcing the economic disincentive. Each output under this
|
|
|
|
threshold will be accepted as long as the entire limit is added to fee.
|
|
|
|
* Change the default incremental fee used for RBF and mempool limiting to
|
|
|
|
0.0001 DOGE.

BDB Updated to 5.3
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
2021-11-02 22:24:17 +01:00
|
|
|
The Berkley DB version used by Dogecoin Core has been updated to 5.3 (from 5.1)
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
as 5.3 is now standard on many Linux distributions. 5.1 and 5.3 wallet files
|
|
|
|
have been tested to be interchangeable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version display
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The version displayed on QT's overview page has been changed to display the
|
|
|
|
full version rather than just the major version part, because this was confusing
|
|
|
|
wallet users.
|
2021-08-24 20:05:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Key Derivation
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
2021-11-02 22:24:17 +01:00
|
|
|
The BIP32 hierarchical deterministic key derivation path contained the wrong
|
|
|
|
chain ID. Previously the chain ID 0 was used, it's now correctly set to 3 as
|
|
|
|
per [SLIP44](https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md).
|
2021-08-24 20:05:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
The wallet.dat files stay fully interoperable between versions. Wallets created
|
|
|
|
with 1.14.5 will benefit from greater interoperability with hardware wallets in
|
|
|
|
the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Namecoin-compatibile AuxPoW mining
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `createauxblock` and `submitauxblock` commands have been reintroduced,
|
|
|
|
mimicking the same commands from Namecoin 0.17, allowing miners to separate
|
|
|
|
wallets from block producing nodes by specifying the address for their coinbase
|
|
|
|
transactions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two additional features on top of the Namecoin 0.17 API have been added:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The block caching mechanism has been enhanced to enable mining pools to use
|
|
|
|
multiple wallet addresses if desired.
|
|
|
|
* By default the AuxPoW API methods provide the difficulty target in a field
|
|
|
|
named `target`, however this can now be configured to be fully compatible with
|
|
|
|
the Namecoin API (`_target`) by setting the `-rpcnamecoinapi` argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RPC API Changes
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
2021-11-02 22:24:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
* Added `softdustlimit` and `harddustlimit` fields to `getnetworkinfo` to enable
|
|
|
|
operators and third party scripts to query this information without having to
|
|
|
|
search configuration files or hardcode defaults.
|
|
|
|
* Added `createauxblock` and `submitauxblock` methods
|
|
|
|
* Added `-rpcnamecoinapi` that allows miners to use Namecoin-compatible AuxPoW
|
|
|
|
APIs, for both `getauxblock` and `createauxblock` methods.

Build System and CI Changes
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
2021-11-02 22:24:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
The build system for dependencies, continuous integration and binary releases
|
|
|
|
has been upgraded from Ubuntu Trusty to Ubuntu Bionic, because the former was
|
|
|
|
fully end-of-life. Ubuntu Bionic extends the useful life of the 1.14 build
|
|
|
|
system to April 2023, by which time we expect to have switched to 1.21 as the
|
|
|
|
main version. With this change, the default gcc used for testing and releases
|
|
|
|
has been updated from version 4.8 to 7.
|
2021-11-02 22:24:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
The CI environment has been extended to build and test aarch64 binaries, and to
|
|
|
|
perform additional checks that allow us to catch more potential issues early and
|
|
|
|
automatically.
|
2021-11-02 22:24:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2021-11-01 21:44:02 +01:00
|
|
|
Additionally, an experimental CI build environment has been introduced to enable
|
|
|
|
ongoing testing and maintenance of incubating features that are not yet ready
|
|
|
|
for release. Currently this contains the AVX2 features that aim to increase the
|
|
|
|
performance of cryptographic routines within Dogecoin Core.
