The is the second alpha release of Dogecoin Core 1.14 is out now! (https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases/tag/v1.14-alpha-2) It contains two important bugfixes compared to the first alpha, and anyone on 1.14-alpha-1 should upgrade immediately. The major changes are:
Fee rounding is now applied consistently across the code base by applying it in the fee rate rather than in the calling code (which had lead to some calls being missed).
Coinbase maturity checks are now enforced correctly.
Important notes:
This is not a binary release, you must be comfortable compiling it yourself.
At the moment we expect to re-introduce the alert system into 1.14 before release, please disregard the release notes that discuss its deprecation/removal.
Don't use this with money you aren't willing to lose. This is the version the developers will start doing mainnet currency tests with, however we'll be keeping amounts very small until there's a beta.
Please do not mine on the production network with this release, as it would trigger a soft fork earlier than expected.
Next stage will be a beta, for which we need to fix a few more things:
Mac builds don't... err... build right now.
Alert system needs to go back in.
Many of the tests don't reflect Dogecoin's rounded fee schedule, and need to be updated. This is mostly to make 1.15 easier to test, but needs doing sooner rather than later.
