Raptoreum Core Release 2.0.3.01

This is a minor release bringing only two changes:

1. Mac support for RTM assets!
2. Fixing an error when configuring a build with the "--disablewallet" flag.

Upgrade Notice

When upgrading from 1.3.17.06 to 2.0.3.01 you may notice that synchronization appears to stop or be very slow, attempting to use raptoreum-cli shows an error about "loading block index....". You will also notice if you check CPU use that it is doing work. DO NOT kill the process! Doing so will likely cause database corruption and your node getting banned. Give it the time it needs to complete its work, usually within 5 minutes but can vary based on system.

We have made some changes to how data is stored and the wallet needs to reload and adjust data to continue syncing.

Thanks to the community, developers and core team who contributed to make this all happen!

Raptoreum Core Release 2.0.3.00

This is a major release which brings in over two years of development and testing.

Added In This Release

• Many fixes and upgrades
• Upgrade to DASH 18 base
• Assets creation, minting, and transfer
• IPFS integration
• RIP01, new fork voting consensus for both miner and smartnodes
• New versioning
• New look

RPC Change

• signrawtransaction has been removed and replaced with "signrawtransactionwithwallet" and "signrawtransactionwithkey".

Hard Fork

Bringing in this new version requires a hard fork, voting will begin on block height 905760 which is approximately Aug 31. To ensure smooth voting and activation about 85% of smartnodes should be on v2.0.3.00 prior to vote start. Once miners reach 85% consensus over 7 day rolling average the vote is locked in and we enter a 7 day grace period (allowing more time for people to get updated). Once grace period is finished voting concludes and new version features activate.

NOTE: By using this release you are voting that you agree to the upgrade. macOS binaries are currently unavailable, we are working on it.

Upgrading

• Stop your wallet or daemon
• Replace binaries
• Start wallet or daemon

[Testnet] LFG

THIS IS A TESTNET ONLY RELEASE

This phase of testnet required starting a new testnet chain. This is in order to simulate as closely as possible activating assets on mainnet VIA our forking mechanism RIP-01.

Testnet will begin running version 1.3.17.05-testnet which mirrors our mainnet release 1.3.17.05, and will soon be followed by a release which includes RIP-01, assets, and all other additions and fixes from the Develop branch.

Assets on Testnet

We are extremely pleased to present to you our double upgrade activating the first round of assets on testnet as well as an upgrade to a newer BTC codebase. This is a major update so expect protracted testing.

For assets this activates the following new rpc command with more to come with the addition of transaction decoupling coming later:

== Assets ==
getassetdetailsbyname 'asset_id or asset_name'
createasset asset_metadata
listassetsbalance
listunspentassets ( minconf maxconf  ["addresses",...] [include_unsafe] [query_options])
mintasset txid
sendasset "asset_id" "qty" "to_address" "change_address" "asset_change_address"
createrawtransaction

In addition to these updates please visit Bitcoin Core's documentation which can be found on Bitcoin.org at https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.18.0#build-system-changes as those changes are too extensive to cover here.

We have an extensive blog post coming up covering the rpc commands and their usage on https://blog.raptoreum.com/ (will update with a direct link here later).
