Dash has released Dash Core v0.14.0.3, a new version of the wallet and P2P client for its cryptocurrency DASH in light of recent transaction spikes on its mainnet.
Security upgradeDash Core announced the news in an official blog post on Aug. 15.
According to the announcement, Dash was hit with either an external stress test or attack on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
The post said that "The upgrade is strongly recommended for all Masternodes and is also recommended for all users, exchanges, partners and full node operators."
The developer subsequently discovered issues including mempools not being emptied, a 1MB cap on blocks, masternode crashes, masternodes banning other masternodes and delayed listing of transactions on some blocks.
Dash Core version 0.14.0.3 is reportedly designed to address some of these issues and includes changes such as improvements to database space use and various signing failures.
