Dogecoin Core version 1.14.5 is now available from:
<https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases/tag/v1.14.4/>
<https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases/tag/v1.14.5/>
This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and performance improvements. It is a recommended
update for all users.
@ -42,28 +42,66 @@ in 1.14.4. The main highlights for the revised fee schedule are:
Bitcoin-like fee calculation.
* The default transaction fee is now 0.001 DOGE per kilobyte, although note you may see
transactions take 2-3 blocks to be confirmed while using low fees, until miners update.
* Tune defaults for replace by fee values, with default DEFAULT\_INCREMENTAL\_RELAY\_FEE now
0.0001 DOGE/kb.
* Derive minimum change from configurable parameters `-discardthreshold`
and `-mintxfee` as a basis.
Specifically: `min change = discardThreshold + 2 * minTxFee(1000)`
* Introduce `-harddustlimit`, which is used for testing
standard transactions. The existing dust limit (-dustlimit) is now
enforcing the economic disincentive under which each output under
the limit must add additional fee to be accepted to the mempool.
* Introduce `-discardthreshold`, a wallet-specific, configurable dust
limit that enables gradual implementation of the dust limit. Each
transaction created with the wallet will adhere to this threshold
rather than the dust limits used for relay, so that the wallet stays
usable while the network changes (lowers) its dust limits.
* Add dustlimit info to `getnetworkinfo` RPC command, as it is now configurable.
BDB Updated to 5.3
------------------
The Berkley DB version used by Dogecoin Core has been updated to 5.3 (from 5.1) as 5.3 is now
standard on many Linux distributions. In testing 5.1 and 5.3 files appear readily interchangeable,
although we would recommend not attempting to open wallets from Dogecoin Core 1.14.5 in previous
versions of Dogecoin Core, as a precaution.

Key Derivation
--------------
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).

This has a relatively minimal impact currently, however in future versions where expect more use
of hierarchical deterministic keys, this is important to define consistently. In particular
it is important that the key derivation paths used by Dogecoin Core and hardware wallets
are consistent, so that extended keys from one can be used with the other. This will also simplify
future compatibility with projects such as HWI, which could enable Dogecoin Core to use hardware
wallets.

Version UI
----------
Dogecoin version is now displayed in the bottom-left of the window, rather than
in the Dogecoin logo in the wallet window. This means it is updated
automatically, rather than requiring manual work editing the image.
createauxblock/submitauxblock
-----------------------------
The `createauxblock` and `submitauxblock` commands have been introduced,
mimicking the same commands from Namecoin 0.17+. These progress towards
splitting the consensus layer from the wallet (`getauxblock` generates an
address to mine to, while the new `createauxblock` command takes in an address
to mine to, and therefore does not require the wallet). It also enables mining
pools to use multiple wallet addresses if desired.
By default `createauxblock` provides difficulty target in a field called
`target`, however this can be tweaked for Namecoin-like API ("_target") by
setting the `-rpcnamecoinapi` startup argument.
Minor Changes
=============

* Refresh FreeBSD docs, see `doc/build-freebsd.md`.
* Update to OpenSSL 1.0.2u.
* Refresh translation files to simplify volunteer contributions to translations.
* Remove export of glibc 2.17 secure_getenv to fix glibc minimum required.
* Add xkbcommon 0.8.4 to fix keyboard compatibility issues.
* Address compatibility issues with GCC-7 and glibc-2.27.
* Remove legacy patches which are no longer needed due to test environments being updated to more recent Ubuntu releases.
* Security harden systemd unit file `contrib/init/dogecoind.local.service`.
* Make Freetype library version independent from build system libaries.
* Update Univalue library to 1.0.4.
* Correct block download timeout for regtest, where it was too low and causing issues with tests.
* Experimental build for SHA algorithms with AVX2 support, to improve SHA performance.
