Dear participants of the Monero ecosystem,
CLI & GUI v0.18.0.0 have been tagged and release binaries have been
made available at www.getmonero.org/downloads/
The full release posts can be found on our blog:
CLI: www.getmonero.org/2022/07/19/monero-0.18.0.0-released.html
GUI: www.getmonero.org/2022/07/19/monero-GUI-0.18.0.0-released.html
Please be reminded that on the 13th of August a scheduled network
upgrade will take place on the Monero network. To be prepared, a user,
service, merchant, pool operator, or exchange *MUST* run CLI or GUI
v0.18.
Among many other improvements, the scheduled network upgrade
introduces three consensus changes. First, the network will use
Bulletproofs+ to decrease transactions size and verification time.
Second, the addition of so-called view tags to transaction outputs
will significantly reduce wallet scanning time. Finally, the ring
size will be increased to 16.
For more details on all improvements contained in the new version,
please refer to our blog posts.
If any assistance is required, please get in touch with the Monero dev
community at #monero-dev (libera.chat IRC, or matrix).
Kind regards,
The Monero dev community
