Release Highlights Include: Chain Asset Lock Proofs, Improved Local Network Setup, Layer 2 Feature Flags, DAPI GetStatus Endpoint Improvements, New Core RPC Methods, Removal of Insight API and Ongoing Integration Improvements<\/em><\/p>\n Dash Core Group is pleased to announce the release of Dash Platform v0.19 on testnet. The new release introduces several breaking changes which make previous existing platform data invalid. Instead of adding a significant amount of extra work to handle these changes we had to wipe Layer 2 platform data as part of the release. Layer 1 Core chain and payment transactions remain untouched.<\/p>\n In addition, updates to the DashPay wallets for Android and iOS are being verified on this new version of Dash Platform. Alpha Program<\/a> users will receive an update after stability of the network has been confirmed.<\/p>\n To update your testnet node please update distribution package and reset platform data.<\/a><\/p>\n The DCG development teams continue to work diligently to fix bugs, increase stability and to deliver the final features of Dash Platform in support of the mobile DashPay wallets. It can be a bit of a balancing act, and sometimes trade-offs are required to make sure we can continue to deliver in an efficient and incremental manner. Improving our continuous integration system and local development environments are important for adoption and usability, despite not delivering new features.<\/p>\n We are excited to get going on the next release which is expected to include validator set rotation, light client, strict data contract validation, and more stability improvements and we will be defining our most critical work needed for the first mainnet release. On that note, we thank our community of developers for being patient as we prioritize critical DashPay wallet-related work against the items which do not impact DashPay.<\/p>\n As with this release we are expecting a data wipe to occur during our next release of v0.20 as well. Observers can expect the next platform release to occur roughly 6 weeks from now at the end of June.<\/p>\n Follow the Dash blog and social media channels for more releases and updates, and as usual, your thoughts, feedback, and pull requests are greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
