Sorry everyone, I've been tweeting a lot and realised I haven't posted on /r/dogecoin for a while. We're really close to an official alpha of 1.14, but that requires a bunch of cross-checking by the other devs before it goes out, so... I've made an alpha candidate. For those unaware of software release cycles, alpha -> beta -> release candidate -> release is a fairly conventional cycle for open source, with alphas being the least stable (often with known bugs).
Before you get excited:
You should not run alpha wallets with actual live money
You should not run wallets off personal Github repositories with real money
So you absolutely definitely shouldn't be running an alpha wallet off a personal Github repo with real money
Also we're not releasing binaries for this; if you're not comfortable compiling it, wait for the beta/release candidate
This is mostly to show progress, and so major service providers can start doing compatibility tests while we get sign-off on an alpha. So, without further ado, I give you... https://github.com/rnicoll/dogecoin/tree/1.14-made-in-factory-that-processes-nuts
Release notes so far can be found at https://github.com/rnicoll/dogecoin/blob/1.14-made-in-factory-that-processes-nuts/doc/release-notes.md
I'll be back with an alpha release and the launch checklist as soon as possible!
