We are happy to announce the release of 0.14.0.5. This release includes binaries, which can be downloaded at# About this ReleaseDash Core 0.14.0.5 is a minor release of the Dash Core 0.14.0.x series.This is a new minor version release, bringing various bugfixes and improvements. We consider this a stable release. We suggest every node (including masternodes and non-masternode) operator to upgrade to 0.14.0.5 as this release contains a fix for a serious DoS vector.Notable changes===============Fix for a DoS vector--------------------This release fixes a serious DoS vector which allows to cause memory exhaustion until the point ofout-of-memory related crashes. We highly recommend upgrading all nodes. Thanks to Bitcoin ABCdevelopers for finding and reporting this issue to us.Better handling of non-locked transactions in mined blocks----------------------------------------------------------We observed multiple cases of ChainLocks failing on mainnet. We tracked this down to a situation wherePrivateSend mixing transactions were first rejected by parts of the network (0.14.0.4 nodes) while other parts(<=0.14.0.3) accepted the transaction into the mempool. This caused InstantSend locking to fail for thesetransactions, while non-upgraded miners still included the transactions into blocks after 10 minutes.This caused blocks to not get ChainLocked for at least 10 minutes. This release improves an already existentfallback mechanism (retroactive InstantSend locking) to also work for transaction which are already partiallyknown in the network. This should cause ChainLocks to succeed in such situations.# CreditsThanks go out to all Dash Core contributors, everyone who submitted issues, reviewed pull requests or helped translating on [Transifex]( https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/dash/ ) and also to [Bitcoin Core]( https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin ) Developers.```tx @codablock
