4243Notable changes
4344===============
4445
45- Performance improvements
46- ------------------------
47- Slow startup times were observed in older versions. This was due to sub-optimal handling of old
48- deterministic masternode lists which caused the loading of too many lists into memory. This should be
49- fixed now.
50-
51- Fixed excessive memory use
52- --------------------------
53- Multiple issues were found which caused excessive use of memory in some situations, especially when
54- a full reindex was performed, causing the node to crash even when enough RAM was available. This should
55- be fixed now.
46+ Database space usage improvements
47+ --------------------------------
48+ Version 0.13.0.0 introduced a new database (evodb) which is found in the datadir of Dash Core. It turned
49+ out that this database grows quite fast when a lot of changes inside the deterministic masternode list happen,
50+ which is for example the case when a lot PoSe punishing/banning is happening. Such a situation happened
51+ immediately after the activation LLMQ DKGs, causing the database to grow a lot. This release introduces
52+ a new format in which information in "evodb" is stored, which causes it grow substantially slower.
53+
54+ Version 0.14.0.0 also introduced a new database (llmq) which is also found in the datadir of Dash Core.
55+ This database stores all LLMQ signatures for 7 days. After 7 days, a cleanup task removes old signatures.
56+ The idea was that the "llmq" database would grow in the beginning and then stay at an approximately constant
57+ size. The recent stress test on mainnet has however shown that the database grows too much and causes a risk
58+ of out-of-space situations. This release will from now also remove signatures when the corresponding InstantSend
59+ lock is fully confirmed on-chain (superseded by a ChainLock). This should remove >95% of all signatures from
60+ the database. After the upgrade, no space saving will be observed however as this logic is only applied to new
61+ signatures, which means that it will take 7 days until the whole "llmq" database gets to its minimum size.
62+
63+ DKG and LLMQ signing failures fixed
64+ -----------------------------------
65+ Recent stress tests have shown that masternodes start to ban each other under high load and specific situations.
66+ This release fixes this and thus makes it a highly recommended upgrade for masternodes.
67+
68+ MacOS: macOS: disable AppNap during sync and mixing
69+ ---------------------------------------------------
70+ AppNap is disabled now when Dash Core is syncing/reindexing or mixing.
71+
72+ Signed binaries for Windows
73+ ---------------------------
74+ This release is the first one to include signed binaries for Windows.
75+
76+ New RPC command: quorum memberof <proTxHash >
77+ --------------------------------------------
78+ This RPC allows you to verify which quorums a masternode is supposed to be a member of. It will also show
79+ if the masternode succesfully participated in the DKG process.
80+
81+ More information about number of InstantSend locks
82+ --------------------------------------------------
83+ The debug console will now show how many InstantSend locks Dash Core knows about. Please note that this number
84+ does not necessarily equal the number of mempool transactions.
85+
86+ The "getmempoolinfo" RPC also has a new field now which shows the same information.
87+
88+ 0.14.0.3 Change log
89+ ===================

57- Fixed out-of-sync masternode list UI
58- ------------------------------------
59- The masternode tab, which shows the masternode list, was not always up-to-date as it missed some internal
60- updates. This should be fixed now.
