v2.0.8.15 - Mandatory update - Dynamic fee at block 650k - Resync maybe required

Network Upgrade at block 650,000 - ETA 25th Feb

• Dynamic fee (fee per byte) 42 BTCMZ per kB

• Threaded RPC for better and faster daemon's functioning

• Various bug fixes

• New Zedwallet renamed zedwallet-api (--remote-daemon remote.bitcoinmono.io for remote node)

• Daemon updated from version below 2.0.7 need resync due to new deserialization way (run daemon with --resync or bootstrap https://btcmz-data-dir.bot.tips/ thanks to @wrkzdev )

• For pools/exchanges : BitcoinMono-service (renamed to BitcoinMono-service-legacy) entering End Of Line will not released anymore and should be replaced with wallet-api. There are two fee options. Option 1 is fixed fee at minimum 1500 BTCMZ for all transaction sizes. Option 2 is dynamic fee with 42 BTCMZ per kB

• BitcoinMonod API Changes
  A number of API changes have been made as a result of the RPC rewrite. The /getinfo, /getheight, /getpeers, and /getfee calls have been removed in lieu of /info, /height, /peers, and /fee. In addition, quite a few json_rpc calls were removed as they were deemed redundant during the rewrite. All of the BitcoinMonod API calls remaining are listed below. All other API methods have been removed.

v2.0.7 - Recommended update - Full Node Resync May Be Required

Based on Turtlecoin v0.20.0
End of Life (EOL) Notice

This release is last release to contain legacy zedwallet. Any releases of the core suite after v0.20.0 will replace the legacy zedwallet with zedwallet++ and all legacy zedwallet code will be removed. Please make sure that you have backed up your keys from legacy wallets, upgraded them to the new format by using zedwallet-beta, wallet-api, or wallet-upgrader and that you can access your wallets using the above tools.

Clarification: BitcoinMono-service is not being deprecated as part of this process. It will still be available until further notice specifically regarding that binary.

End of Support (EOS) Notice

Support will be provided for legacy zedwallet through December 31, 2019. After that date, legacy zedwallet will no longer be supported.

Full Node Resync May Be Required

This release contains 2 fixes to the way that data is serialized/deserialzed. The fixes are necessary for the proper operation of BitcoinMonod; however, the fix may reveal data corruption in your local copy of the blockchain (both the database and underlying local cache). Unfortunately, the only way to resolve the data corruption is purge the corrupted data and resync from that point or perform a full resync.

If you encounter a message stating that your local blockchain cache is corrupted, please try the directions given (be patient, it may take a while). Or, you may resync your node from scratch.
