Dear participants of the Monero ecosystem,
CLI v0.17.0.0 has been tagged and release binaries have been made
available on our website. The full release post can be found on our
blog:https://www.getmonero.org/2020/09/17/monero-0.17-released.html
The GUI v0.17.0.0 release will follow shortly.
Please be reminded that on the 17th of October a scheduled network
upgrade will take place on the Monero network. To be sufficiently
prepared, a user, service, merchant, pool operator, or exchange should
run CLI v0.17 or GUI v0.17. The scheduled network upgrade introduces
three consensus changes. First and foremost, a new ring signature
construction, namely CLSAG, will be introduced. CLSAG enables smaller
and faster transactions with rigorous security. A report of the
successful audit of CLSAG can be found on our
blog:https://www.getmonero.org/2020/07/31/clsag-audit.html
Secondly, unlock times are now deterministic. Thirdly, coinbase
rewards now have to be claimed in full.
Additionally, in accordance with our previous announcement, there will
be no change to the mining algorithm (RandomX). Thus, miners will not
have to update their mining software. See
https://www.getmonero.org/2020/09/01/note-scheduled-upgrades.html for
more info.
Note that an informational post regarding the scheduled network
upgrade has been posted on our blog containing more in-depth
information for users and miners:
