Announcing DigiByte Core 6.16.5 for immediate upgrade!

DigiByte Core Wallet version 6.16.5 has now been released, and includes the recent fix from upstream Bitcoin Core 0.16.3.

The new DigiByte Core version 6.16.5!

I talk a bit about this Bitcoin “transaction bug” here, and explain why you should upgrade as soon as possible:

Overview of the denial-of-service vulnerability (CVE-2018–17144)

Also included in the 6.16.5 release are the following “quality of life” improvements, and fixes:

• Changed the main-screen image to accurately reflect the new version (Sorry about that in 6.16.4)
• Importing of certain compressed private keys from paper wallets is now working again
• Using importprivkey now generates the traditional “D” public address type, as well as newer Bech32 and SegWit addresses on import
• Additional Testnet default server added
• Added --algo launch argument (For miners / pools)
• getdifficulty now gets the correct algo difficulty
• Added the optional algo argument to getblocktemplate

The release is available now at: https://github.com/digibyte/digibyte/releases/tag/v6.16.5

As this update includes the fix for CVE-2018–17144, I would highly recommend all users upgrade as soon as possible.
