Dash Core v0.12.3.4

Dash Core 0.12.3.4 Release Announcement

Dash Core 0.12.3.4 is a non-mandatory update of the Dash Core 0.12.3.x series.

It is not required to update nodes on mainnet, as this release does not include any changes that affect mainnet. The only changes included are for testnet and cause a fork at height 4000. This fork is meant to reset testnet to a clean state so that we can re-test the full deployment path of 0.12.3 -> 0.13.0.

Full release notes are available at https://github.com/dashpay/dash/blob/v0.12.3.4/doc/release-notes.md,
release binaries can be downloaded above.

This version can still be used on mainnet in case a fresh installation is performed. As mentioned, this version has no changes that affect mainnet and is equivalent to 0.12.3.3 when deployed on mainnet.

Dash Core v0.12.3.3

Dash Core 0.12.3.3 Release Announcement

Dash Core 0.12.3.3 is a critical bugfix release of the Dash Core 0.12.3.x series.

There was a serious vulnerability discovered in Bitcoin Core's codebase recently which
can cause node receiving a specially crafted block to crash bitcoin#14247

We encourage all full node operators (masternodes, mining pools, explorers, exchanges etc.) to update ASAP.

Full release notes are available at https://github.com/dashpay/dash/blob/v0.12.3.3/doc/release-notes.md,
release binaries can be downloaded above.

Note: this release does NOT require masternode owners to start their masternodes from cold wallets. Masternode operators should stop the daemon running on a remote node, replace old binaries with the new ones and start the daemon again.
