We are pleased to share that an essential, required patch for Decred is now live. We strongly encourage everyone to perform this upgrade at their earliest convenience.
This new release introduces several vital technical and security improvements. Most notably, the update provides a critical security fix related to consensus and successfully neutralizes the threat of a potential periodic deanonymization mixing attack. Furthermore, the software now includes various repairs designed to prevent potential network denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, alongside enhancements to how mixing session expirations are handled.
Please keep in mind that the Decrediton release for Windows is not available just yet. We anticipate that this specific version will be ready for download within the next day.
