Sentinel deprecation<\/span><\/h3>\nSentinel functionality has been integrated directly into v20.0, so it will no longer be necessary for masternodes to run the standalone Sentinel application. Several RPC commands have been updated to prevent conflicts between DashCore v20.0 and existing Sentinel installs. It is recommended to remove or disable Sentinel after updating masternodes to v20.0.<\/span><\/p>\nIntegration Partner Notes<\/span><\/h2>\nDashCore v20.0 is a mandatory update due to updates to the coinbase transaction and changes to the block reward division between governance, masternodes, and miners. Once the release is available in the coming days, all integration partners should immediately review the Release Notes to become familiar with the details of the release and begin the update process.<\/span><\/p>\nIn addition to the hard fork that will occur with v20.0, there are important fixes and optimizations that will not be backported to v19.0. It is important to verify compatibility with particular attention to 1) changes to RPCs, 2) changes to command-line options, and 3) Bitcoin backports.<\/span><\/p>\nRemote Procedure Call (RPC) Changes<\/span><\/h3>\nDashCore v20.0 introduces three new Dash-specific RPC commands, deprecates a set of RPCs, and removes one RPC. Additionally, several RPCs have breaking changes.<\/span><\/p>\nNew RPCs: <\/span>protx listdiff<\/span>, <\/span>getindexinfo<\/span>, and <\/span>gettxchainlocks<\/span><\/p>\nDeprecated RPCs: all <\/span>protx<\/span> commands previously ending with <\/span>_hpmn<\/span> were converted to <\/span>_evo<\/span><\/p>\nRemoved RPC: <\/span>gobject vote-conf<\/span><\/p>\nBreaking changes: <\/span>getaddressinfo<\/span>, <\/span>getblockchaininfo<\/span>, <\/span>getblocktemplate<\/span>, and <\/span>gobject submit<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCommand-line Options<\/span><\/h3>\nA number of command-line option changes were made related to node and network management. For additional details on these, please refer to the release notes.<\/span><\/p>\nBitcoin Backports<\/span><\/h3>\nWe have backported hundreds of items from Bitcoin v0.20-v22.0 which are included in DashCore v20.0. In addition, select items have been backported from Bitcoin v23.0 and v25.0.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is Dash?<\/span><\/h2>\nDash is a global payments network with its own cryptocurrency offering businesses and individuals instant payments for less than a cent per transaction.
