Important information
Majority of ion contributors decided to move on from CEVAP's branch to a new one which is believed to fit better to marketing and maybe some other purposes. There will be no further CEVAP releases for ion, project is moved to new community runned repository: https://github.com/ioncoincore/ . Version v3.0.5 is the last one which is hosted/published on CEVAP. New repository will be updated in following days and next version will be published only there:

Stop ongoing attack
There were several issues which enabled several methods of attack. The current release deals with the attack properly.

We reached several goals. Instead of pursuing these goals using the old code base, we adopted a new one.
- Bring it to higher bitcoin source base
- Improve wallet performance
- New design
- Integrated blockexplorer
- Increased anonimity (Zerocoin)
Our sources:
We forked from PIVX and integrated ION's specific features into the PivX codebase.
By doing so, we connect to an enthusiastic and active community - leaving behind old Ion code that inherits from less actively developed and maintaned code. Our main sources are now derived from:
