Releases: VerusCoin/VerusCoin
PBaaS Cross-chain Technology Preview
Please note that this is a test release intended to use for testing and development with public blockchains as a service (PBaaS). Although this version does also work with Verus mainnet, it does not support PBaaS on mainnet and is not an official release. As always, use at your own risk. Do not use as main wallet
Sample chain definition:
./verusd -chain=VRSCTEST definechain '{ "name":"SOMECOIN", "eras": [{"reward" : 10000000000}], "notarizationreward" : 1440000000, "billingperiod" : 1440, "nodes" : [{"nodeaddress" : "127.0.0.1:2500", "paymentaddress" : ""}, {"nodeaddress" : "127.0.0.1:2501", "paymentaddress" : "RDyDzC5JB66Y29fzBkamywqEn1PJXTzj8B"}]}'
Maximum of 3 eras
Minimum 500 blocks worth of notarizations.
Minimum of 0.01 VRSCTEST per block of notarization.
VRSCTEST are needed in wallet to make a chain.
Once a chain is made, anyone running the local VRSCTEST chain can connect to any defined chain with the command:
./verusd-chain=SOMECOIN
On first connection, a local config file is created, and VRSCTEST will not need to run to connect. However, it will be needed to merge mine.
The presence of a correct config file for any chain, which are kept in .verustest/PBAAS/CHAINNAME, which is the home directory for a PBaaS chain, enables the chain to load as an independent chain.

v0.5.5c Portability fix
v0.5.5c introduces a portability fix for a fault on some CPUs that did not support optimized mining when attempting to mine. This allows mining on CPUs that don't support optimizations, although they will be relatively slow.
MAKE SURE TO UPGRADE TO 0.5.5 OR GREATER ASAP. See 0.5.5 release for details

v0.5.5 - CRITICAL UPDATE FOR IMMEDIATE UPGRADE
IMPORTANT: CRITICAL UPDATE -- UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY
COMBINATION SECURITY FIX AND INITIAL PBaaS PREPARATION
During an audit, a potential security issue was recently identified and fixed. This version both fixes the security issue in question immediately, and also uses this as an opportunity to include some early PBaaS functionality that while not fully enabled, will allow us to test future PBaaS functionality on the main Verus chain in the near future. There is no activation date for these fixes. They are important and immediate. There has been no exploitation of this issue yet, and to our knowledge, details are not known outside of core developers. We recommend immediate upgrade of all Verus wallets.
v0.5.4 Minor optimizations, display bug fixes, and Mac mining enhancements
Increased number of outbound connections from 4 to 5.
Fixed CLI bug displaying 0 mega hashes done when it was hashing just fine.
Fixed zfunds calculation on coinsupply RPC
Fixed bug preventing Mac builds from mining with the enhancements introduced in v0.5.3
v0.5.3 Mining Enhancements
Linux and Windows only release, MacOS on the way, Mac users should remain on version 5.1
To upgrade your wallet, run the agama-upgrade script included and enter the directory of your Verus Enhanced Agama app
