| ### Mandatory Update | ||
|
|
||
| ION Core v5.0.99 is a mandatory update for all users. This release contains new consensus rules and improvements that are not backwards compatible with older versions. Users will have a grace period of up to two week to update their clients before enforcement of this update is enabled - a grace period that will end at block 1320000 the latest. | ||
| ION Core v5.0.99 is an experimental release, intended only for TESTNET. It is not a mandatory update. This release contains new consensus rules and improvements for TESTNET only that are not backwards compatible with older versions. Users will have a grace period of up to one week to update their testnet clients before enforcement of this update is enabled. | ||
|
|
||
| ### How to Upgrade | ||
|
|
||
| If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/ION-Qt (on Mac) or iond/ion-qt (on Linux). | ||

| - Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions). | ||
| - Copy the files in the testnet data folder to a backup medium, and delete all files in the testnet folder except ioncoin.conf and wallet.dat. | ||
| - Run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/ION-Qt (on Mac) or iond/ion-qt (on Linux). | ||

| #### Mac OSX High Sierra | ||
|
|
||
| Currently there are issues with the 4.x gitian release on MacOS version 10.13 (High Sierra), no reports of issues on older versions of MacOS. | ||

|
||
| ### Noteable Changes | ||
|
|
||
| - core: switch core from pivx to ion | ||
| - move to bitbucket | ||
| - token implementation (IIP6) | ||
| - rebase to dash | ||
| - fix regtest and testnet | ||
| - new regtest genesis is inline with source | ||
| - updated dependencies | ||
| - Move to bitbucket | ||
| - The ION Core project is now available throug the [ION Coin Bitbucket repository](https://bitbucket.org/ioncoin/ion/) | ||
| - The ION Core repository at github will for now remain available, but will no longer be updated. | ||
| - Fee policy | ||
| - The current release partially implements IIP0006 - the remainder of the IIP0006 implementation will follow in a subsequent update. | ||
| - The new fee policy, proposed and adopted in IIP0006, is implemented. As a result, this client will only relay and mine transactions with | ||
| a feerate of 0.01 ION per KB. | ||
| - The fee calculation approach for token transactions has been made more accurate. | ||
| - Core: the core code has been rebased from PivX to Dash. | ||
| - The staking functionality has been ported to the new code base. | ||
| - The token implementation (ATP) has been ported to the new code base. | ||
| - The zerocoin functionality (xION) has been partially ported to the new code base. | ||
| - Fixes to regtest and testnet | ||
| - A previously unsolved issue related to running regtest scripts no longer occurs in the new code base | ||
| - The regtest mining and staking functionality allows generating POS, POW and Hybrid blocks | ||
| - The new regtest genesis is inline with the updated source | ||
| - Testnet is running the new code base, including deterministic masternodes | ||
| - Updated dependencies | ||
| - boost 1.70 | ||
| - QT 5.9.8 | ||
| - expat 2.2.9 | ||

|
||
| - Reimplement zerocoin to new source | ||
|
|
||
| #### Tokenimplementation | ||
|
|
||
| - Reimplement zerocoin to new source | ||
| - The core part of the zerocoin functionality has been ported to the new code base. | ||
| - This includes all functionality related to verification of zerocoin transactions. | ||
| - This excludes functionality to create new zerocoin transactions. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Protocol change | ||
| #### Masternodes | ||
|
|
||
| - Atomic Token Protocol (ATP) | ||
| Testnet masternodes requires using the `protx` command: | ||
| - Ensure a 20k collateral is available (`masternode outputs`). | ||
| - Generate the keys: | ||
| - Generate the 'owner private key' (`getnewaddress`). | ||
| - Generate the 'voting key address' (`getnewaddress`). | ||
| - Generate the 'masternode payout address' (`getnewaddress`). | ||
| - Optionally, generate the 'fee source address' (`getnewaddress`). | ||
| - Generate the 'operator public and private keys' (`bls generate`). | ||
| - Configure the remote wallet: | ||
| - Add `masternode=1` to the remote ioncoin.conf | ||
| - Add `masternodeblsprivkey=<BLS_PRIVKEY>` to the remote ioncoin.conf (the private part of the 'operator public and private keys') | ||
| - Add `externalip=<EXTERNAL_IP>` to the remote ioncoin.conf (the external IP address of the server hosting the remote masternode) | ||
| - Configure the controller wallet: | ||
| - Run the following command in the debug console: `protx register_prepare <collateralHash> <collateralIndex> <ipAndPort> <ownerKeyAddr> | ||
| <operatorPubKey> <votingKeyAddr> <operatorReward> <payoutAddress> (<feeSourceAddress>)` | ||
| - The above command returns: | ||
| - A binary transaction ("tx") | ||
| - A collateral address ("collateralAddress") | ||
| - A message to sign ("signMessage") | ||
| - Run the following command in the debug console: `signmessage <collateralAddress> <signMessage>` | ||
| - The above command returns a signature | ||
| - Finally, submit the registration transaction with the following command: `protx register_submit <tx> <signature>` | ||
| - When the remote node is started, it will automatically activate. | ||
| - Run the sentinel on the remote server to let other masternodes know about yours | ||
| - Edit `sentinel.conf` to set the network to 'testnet'. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Token implementation | ||
|
|
||
| - The Atomic Token Protocol (ATP) has been fully ported to the new code base. | ||
| - Various improvements have been added to the verification code and the database code for tokens. | ||
