Feburary

• [23] v0.9.7.1 Point Release: Includes preliminary code for support for ringct (not yet functional or enabled), Include upstream fixes, Performance improvement on non-Intel platforms

March

• [4] v0.9.8.4 Point release: Hard fork at block height 798358, this release corrects a problem which allowed a recent block to enter the chain data store despite a missing transaction. Also contains additional bug fixes from Monero (credit moneromooo and warptangent), All nodes will require resyncing after installing this update. In addition any blocks that are part of the invalid chain starting at height 798358 will be rejected. Nodes continuing to advertise the invalid blocks will be dropped and eventually banned. This may initially produce a high volume of error messages.

• [29] v0.9.9.0 Point release: Includes reliability and stability fixes, Updates embedded miniupupc with latest upstream fixes, Resolves build issues with newer compiler/platform versions (some from Monero upstream)

April

• [4] v0.9.10.0 Point release: This minor release addresses some possible causes for poor performance and lockups seen in 0.9.9.0. In addition it fixes a build problem on some versions of Mac OS X. Fix for possible deadlock, Reduce unnecessary lock holding, Mac build fix from upstream (@radfish from monero)

• [5] v0.9.11.0 Point release: Release resolves a deadlock issue introduced in 0.9.9.0 which caused the daemon to occasionally hang.

• [23] v0.9.12.0 Point release: A future update (not yet scheduled) will begin enforcing the minimum relay fee equal to the current default fee, so nodes that have not yet updated to a minimum of 0.9.12.0 will then be disconnected and banned. Fixes some Windows build issues, Add option to disable blockchain auto-save (useful to reduce swapping on low-memory nodes) ,Prioritize transactions by fee/byte, Disable relay of transactions with legacy fee lower than current default

September

• [30] v0.9.13.0 Point release: Update for RPC users. Anyone operating an important node or mining (solo mining or operating a pool; not relevant to pool client miners) should review the new deployment notes. Numerous portability and compilation fixes (stoffu, appveyor), RPC wallet exception handling for improved reliability (upstream from XMR/QCN, sammy007), Added deployment notes in README

October

• [27] v0.9.14.0 Point release: This was the last release for the Legacy Aeon software. This optional enhancement release adds one new feature and one feature from upstream (Monero). The release is fully compatible and contains no significant bug fixes. As such the previous daemon and/or wallet can be used interchangeably with this one if the new features are not needed. The –restricted-rpc daemon option (ported from Monero by LesPristy) disables some unsafe RPC requests for use with public nodes. The –fee-multiplier simplewallet option increases all fees by a factor of 1 (default; unchanged) to 100 (recommended: 2 or 3). This can assist in getting urgent transactions confirmed when there is a tx pool backlog. May also be used when creating mixin 0 transactions to bid for the one available tx slot per block (a 0 mixin with a fee multiplier of 2 may still be less expensive and/or confirm faster than a mixin 2 with a fee multiplier of 1, depending on the details of the transaction and network conditions). Additional changes were: README cleanup (xmr-eric), Fix for incorrect hash rate displayed by daemon diff command, Added instructions for manual cmake to README
