Overview
This is the v0.14.2 release of the Pyrexcoin software. This is a major release, which in turn adds a new PoW based on Cryptonight-R, adds a new block weight algorithm, and introduces a slightly more efficient RingCT format. This is a intermediary, stable release specifically for the network update, and does not represent the bulk of the effort on Pyrexcoin over the past 6 months.
