BitShares 2.0.151216

All full nodes running 2.0.151209 or earlier must upgrade by Thu 2015-12-17 at 19:00 UTC. This release is an optional upgrade for nodes already running 2.0.151215.

Replaying the chain will be required, and should occur automatically.

Description of changes

• There is only one bug fix in this release, related to the numbering of operation_history_object (1.11.x). This fix only impacts users who rely on operation_history_object having the same numbering as previous releases. If you don't know what this means, and you are already running 2.0.151215, you probably do not need to upgrade.

Details

• 2.0.151215 fixed a bug which sometimes created operation_history_object (1.11.x) and impl_account_transaction_history_object_type (2.9.x) for operations that later processing discarded.
• However this bug fix resulted in shifting the numbers of all later 1.11.x and 2.9.x objects, which caused problems with some exchanges' internal scripts.
• 2.0.151216 now creates and immediately deletes dummy operation_history_object whenever 2.0.151209 and earlier would have improperly created them.
• Therefore, 2.0.151216 uses the same numbering as 2.0.151209 and earlier for 1.11.x objects.
• 2.9.x objects were not fixed, in 2.0.151216 they still use the new numbering introduced in 2.0.151215.
