Monero 0.11.0.0 "Helium Hydra" Released

Posted by: Riccardo Spagni (fluffypony)

Overview

This is the v0.11.0.0 major release of the Monero software, and it is a mandatory update due to the September 15th hard fork, which in turn increases the minimum ring signature size to 5 across the network, bans duplicate ring members in a ring signature, and enforces use of ringCT for all transaction outputs. This release of the software presents a number of major improvements to Monero, as well as a large set of bug fixes.

Some highlights of this release are:

major synchronisation speed-up from reducing bandwidth used

massively improved the blockchain import function

changed terminology from "mixin" to "ring size"

add a –fluffy-blocks option to relay blocks as fluffy blocks if possible

allow for password verification without loading the subsequently unencrypted wallet into RAM

reduced privacy leak risks when using untrusted remote nodes

added an Esperanto wordlist for mnemonic seed choices

decreased memory demands for the getblocks RPC call

added a "fee" command to display fee information

transfer CLI command warns if there's a tx backlog for selected fee

add average seconds per block in bc_dyn_stats

added an on_get_alt_blocks_hashes RPC call

added an Italian translation for the CLI

return the per-tx amount in the transfer_split RPC call

switched to readline for the CLI

automatically switch to SAFE db-sync-mode once daemon catches up to network

added a histogram to poolstats

major speed-up for poolstats and coinbase_tx_sum

enable support for macOS smart mining

added the ability to build a Snap package

added a Vulnerability Response Process, with bug bounties available via a dedicated HackerOne portal

added support for payment proving via key derivation instead of tx key reveal

changed output selection for ring signatures to heavily weight newer outputs

added a sweep_below function to sweep small amounts

moved the mempool to a database on disk instead of keeping it all in memory

fully enable iOS and Android full node support

enabled support for ppc64le architectures

added the ability to create and open wallets via RPC

added ability to relay transactions manually after creating them

better AC / battery power detection for Linux smart mining

getblocktemplate now indicates the expected total reward

as always, loads of bug fixes and performance improvements
