Releases: VitaeTeam/Vitae
v4.7.0
This is a recommended upgrade for all VITAE wallets, masternodes and fundamentalnodes. It has changes to reduce forking issues on the network, and is being released at the request of members of the VITAE community.
Developer's Note: We are aware that another developer released a different wallet that others may have been communicated as being a new version of VITAE. This release has no relationship to any wallets or code releases from any other developer or GitHub repository. We are not aware of any authorization given to other developers from VITAE AG or anyone else in a position of authority within the VITAE community for the other version. We have not reviewed their code and have to assume it is incompatible with this official VITAE repository version. We assume no responsibility for anything released from other developers, and cannot offer any support for anything other than what we have released in this repository.
v4.6.5
VITAE version 4.6.5 is now available from:
https://github.com/vitaeteam/vitae/releases
v4.6.5 is an required release with added checkpoints to help mitigate forking issues on the network. All masternodes, supernodes and wallets should upgrade to this version to help ensure they are connected to the proper mainnet blockchain.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
v4.6.4
v4.6.3
VITAE version 4.6.3 is now available from:
https://github.com/vitaeteam/vitae/releases
v4.6.3 is an optional bugfix release to address a rare issue being encountered by a few users who have system clocks that are not properly synchronized. Most users would never encounter this issue.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
v4.6.2
NOTE: v4.6.2 replaces v4.6.0 and v4.6.1. If you are running any v4.6.0 or v4.6.1 nodes or wallets, please upgrade to v4.6.2 as soon as possible. The release notes below include v4.6.0 changes.
VITAE version 4.6.2 is now available from:
https://github.com/vitaeteam/vitae/releases
This is a new MANDATORY release for all wallets, masternodes and fundamentalnodes, with improvements to the staking consensus protocols.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/vitaeteam/vitae/issues
Mandatory Update for All Users
VITAE Core v4.6.2 is a mandatory release only for all VITAE users. There are significant changes to the core staking consensus protocols. Please upgrade your wallets and nodes as soon as possible. Any nodes that do not upgrade will be excluded from the mainnet network after the changes are activated in the coming weeks, which may require a blockchain resync to regain access to the VITAE network.
How to Upgrade
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows and MacOS) or just copy over vitaed/vitae-qt (on Linux).
For MacOS users running Catalina or Big Sur, please install vitae-4.6.2-macos-big-sur-unsigned.dmg. For Big Sur machines with the new M1 chip, please run the application using Rosetta.
For MacOS users running High Sierra, please install vitae-4.6.2-osx-high-sierra-unsigned.dmg.
For MacOS users running older unsupported versions, you can try installing vitae-4.6.2-osx-unsigned.dmg.
Compatibility
VITAE Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, MacOS 10.13+, and Windows 8.1 and later.
Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 as of [January 14th, 2020].
Apple ended suppot for MacOS 10.12 as of [October, 2019].
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows 7 or earlier versions, or MacOS 10.12 or earlier versions. You can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there may be instabilities and issues.
Please do not report issues about unsupported versions of Windows or MacOS to the issue tracker.
VITAE should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not frequently tested on them.
Notable Changes
Stake Modifier V2
These changes implement a new 256-bit modifier for the proof of stake protocol. It is computed at every block, by taking the hash of the modifier of previous block along with the coinstake input. To meet these new consensus rules, the PoS kernel must include the modifier of the previous block.
Time Protocol V2
These changes implement several improved rules for the proof of stake protocol. The granularity has been changed to 15 second intervals, so the only allowable block times will be times ending with the seconds :00, :15, :30, and :45. The allowed block times cannot be earlier than the previous block time, and must be submitted during the timeslot it is in--blocks for future 15 second timeslots cannot be submitted except during that timeslot. The target timespan for maintaining the average 45 second block time has been increased to 40 minutes.
Free Transactions Not Accepted Into Mempool
In the past, there was an allowance for a certain portion of transactions in a block to be sent without paying any transaction fee. This capability is being removed. This change is a partial step in that direction, by changing the mempool code to reject any transactions that are relayed which do not include at least the minimum normal transaction fee rate per kb.

v15_testnet
This is a testnet only release to reflect the latest changes made to the VITAE testnet. There is no need for any mainnet VITAE users to upgrade to this version.
v4.5.1 - Testnet Update
This is a TESTNET ONLY release, including some updates that are needed to run VITAE nodes on the testnet. Regular users do not need to upgrade to this version. If someone wants to run a node on the VITAE testnet, this would be a required upgrade.
It includes changes to the zerocoin parameters to bring testnet closer to the configuration of the VITAE mainnet.
v4.5.1
VITAE version 4.5.1 is now available from:
https://github.com/vitaeteam/vitae/releases
This is a new minor-revision version release, including various bug fixes and performance improvements.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/vitaeteam/vitae/issues
Mandatory Update for MacOS Big Sur Users
VITAE Core v4.5.1 is a mandatory release only for MacOS users who are using the latest version of OSX (Big Sur). It is optional for all other users. The primary changes are fixing OSX Big Sur compatibility.
For MacOS users running Catalina or Big Sur, please install vitae-4.5.1-macos-big-sur-unsigned.dmg. For Big Sur machines with the new M1 chip, please run the application using Rosetta.
For MacOS users running High Sierra, please install vitae-4.5.1-osx-high-sierra-unsigned.dmg.
For MacOS users running older unsupported versions, you can try installing vitae-4.5.1-osx-unsigned.dmg.
How to Upgrade
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows and MacOS) or just copy over vitaed/vitae-qt (on Linux).
Compatibility
VITAE Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, MacOS 10.13+, and Windows 8.1 and later.
Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 as of [January 14th, 2020].
Apple ended suppot for MacOS 10.12 as of [October, 2019].
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows 7 or earlier versions, or MacOS 10.12 or earlier versions. You can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there may be instabilities and issues.
Please do not report issues about unsupported versions of Windows or MacOS to the issue tracker.
VITAE should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not frequently tested on them.
Notable Changes
MacOS Big Sur Compatibility
The primary change in this release is to help ensure compatibility with MacOS 11 (Big Sur) and the newest Mac hardware that uses the M1 chip.
