Dash Core Group is pleased to announce the release of Dash Platform v0.16. This is the 5th release in our defined release process, and our 6th release overall, where observers of Dash\u2019s development can expect new functionality delivered roughly every 6 weeks. As we enter the final stages of our plan to release to testnet, DCG has made the decision to combine the next two releases. This decision was made in order to reduce the operational overhead associated with releasing as we focus on the features required for testnet. Consequently, observers can expect a new Dash Platform release in\u00a0mid-late December<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Release Highlights<\/h1>\n

In the course of preparing for testnet, there were two main goals of this release: prepare the Dash Platform Protocol, given that making changes after testnet will be challenging, and fix the nondeterminism problem in block processing.<\/p>\n

As usual, due to the breaking changes introduced in this release all data on Evonet has been wiped. Developers should make adjustments to their local setups to reflect this. Below you\u2019ll find a list of the most important updates. You can view all of the updates in greater detail by visiting the release notes for each platform component, which are included in the last section of this article.<\/p>\n
