The Dogecoin community is abuzz, and one of its vocal members, Mishaboar, shares his excitement about the latest major release of Dogecoin, version 1.14.7. This new update is particularly important for traders as it brings a number of improvements and security updates that are set to improve the overall functionality and security of Dogecoin transactions.
In a new tweet, Mishaboar urges merchants or service providers on Dogecoin to update to the latest version of Dogecoin Core 1.14.7, as the “estimatefee” and “estimatesmartfee” methods have been updated and are now maintained and adjusted to follow the Dogecoin parameterization.
Mishaboar’s enthusiasm is shared by the broader Dogecoin community, which has long awaited such updates.
Alex, CTO of MyDoge Wallet, praises the Dogecoin developers for the latest version 1.14.7 of Dogecoin Core. Using the estimated fee corrections, Alex noted that “MyDoge” fees are now fully dynamic and no stagnant transactions have been seen since then.
Although it is a minor version, Dogecoin 1.14.7, includes improvements to several RPC methods and important security updates for Dogecoin-Qt. Therefore, Dogecoin-Qt users on any platform are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
One of the most notable changes in this release are security updates, which include disabling the BIP-70 payment server by default and reducing the attack surface for potential security threats. Additionally, the Qt dependency build scope has been reduced and patches have been supported for all Qt versions up to 5.15.12, including community patches for pinned Qt 5.7.1.
The updated rpcuser.py script improves the salt and password generation methods, improving the security of automated systems that interact with the Dogecoin network. The inclusion of fully verbose transaction decoding in “getblock” and the addition of a height parameter to “-walletnotify” are part of the improvements brought by the release. Other important improvements, “estimatefee” and “estimatesmartfee”, are now maintained and adjusted to the Dogecoin parameterization.
In what comes after the revolutionary launch, the lead developer of Dogecoin Patrick Lodder hints at next steps planned for the first or second week of April, to allow for operator adjustment ability.
