Overview
This is the v0.12.0.0 point release of the Monero software, and
it is part of the v0.12 network wide update. This major release
is due to the April 6th network update, which in turn increases
the minimum ring signature size, sorts inputs so as not to leak
wallet choice by inference, and slightly changes the
proof-of-work algorithm to prevent DoS attacks by ASICs. This
release of the software presents a number of major improvements
to Monero, as well as a large set of bug fixes.
Some highlights of this major release are:
- subaddress support added, with addresses starting with a
prefix of 8
- added multisig support
- added support for SunOS / Solaris
- initial support for Ledger Nano S hardware wallet
- securely erase keys from memory when not in use
- initial Bulletproofs implementation live on testnet
- added accounts, tags, and labels, via subaddresses
- added 0MQ support
- added some mitigations for privacy-threatening key reusing
forks
- added a new network, stagenet, which mirrors mainnet's
features
