This release includes the following minor changes:
- changed BIP44 coin code to a registered one
- added natural sort of masternode list by IP address
- renamed distributed Linux binary releases
BIP44 code changes the HD wallet address chain. If you used an HD wallet with some mnemonic, this change will invalidate all your addresses, unfortunately. The same mnemonic will generate other addresses. So it is recommended to move all your coins from old addresses (using old version) to new addresses (generated by new version) and reinstall your masternodes. This is a painful but necessary change in order to register other coin services officially.
WARNING: using new version with old HD wallet will NOT recreate the same wallet by mnemonic. Do not forget to transfer coins if you use HD wallet.
Now masternodes can be sorted by their IP in numeric order, not lexical one. So address 123.2.3.4 will follow 5.2.3.4, not vice versa.
Finally, this version renames binary releases using proper architecture dependant names for linux.
If you do not use HD wallet, you do not have to update to this release.
Updated to Dash core v0.14.0.5.
LLMQ and DKG are going to be activated in this version. DKG PoSe bans should be active in this release.
Updated to Dash core v0.13.3.0.
WARNING: this release uses new masternode options (DIP0003). Do not upgrade unless prepared to manually update your masternodes. If you use a hosting platform, make sure that they support DIP0003 masternodes, particularly, masternodeblsprivkey configuration option.

We are going to follow the Dash development and update to the latest codebase from Dash. Unfortunately, due to the nature of blockchain and features implemented by Dash team it is not possible to jump directly to the latest version. So a series of updates is planned as follows:
- v1.2.3.4 (based on Dash 0.12.3.4, latest in 0.12 series)
- v1.3.3.0 (based on Dash 0.13.3.0, latest in 0.13 series)
- v1.4.0.2 (based on Dash 0.14.0.2 or latest)
This is an intermediate beta release of Argoneum software along this way. This release may (and definitely has) some inaccurate translations, web links and other minor issues. It also may have invalid copyright strings due to automated renames. All this will be fixed in the final release.
The original copyrights are held by Bitcoin developers and Dash developers.

-
Enabled governance. Superblock rewards reserved to 10% of total blocks reward per period.
-
Disabled developer fee starting from block 555840. Pools should remove the dev fee starting from that block. If they don't do that, they still will fund the Argoneum, but it will not be required.
Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables anonymous, instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Dash Core software, see https://www.dash.org/get-dash/.
Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches.
Tags are created to indicate new official,
stable release versions of Dash Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests of the RPC interface, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also follow the forum.
