v5.0.0

Flux, Your Gateway to a Decentralized World

v5.0.0

This release is a mandatory release of fork changes happening on the 10th of April on blockheight 835554. New binary must be applied before that blockheight. Flux (formerly Zel) is completing its rebrand to coexist on multiple parallel chains and to truly become unique in the space with its computational Flux network.

This release is done in 2 name format - zelcash and flux. Both executables are identical. The only difference is name of executable.

Release Highlights

• Zel becomes Flux (FLUX)
• Basic, Super, Bamf becomes Cumulus, Nimbus, Stratus
• Generation of Exchange, Foundation and multiple Swap pools to ensure coexistence on parallel chains
• Data folder and config file migration
• Benchmark key change ability
• Disables privacy (T->Z, Z->Z) transactions
• Removed need for shielding
• Confirmation heights adjustments

Flux Benchmark automatically adjusts its main folder from .zelbenchmarks to .fluxbenchmarks.
Flux Daemon can adjust its configuration file zelcash.conf to flux.conf and its main directory from .zelcash to .flux if -migratetoflux flag is supplied

Note for Pools

• After fork blockheight shielding is no longer required and is not possible. Coinbase can be directly sent to transparent address
• getblocktemplate now contains additional flux pool parameters. Please refer to this PR to find more information: s-nomp/node-stratum-pool#58
