Notable changes
===============

Fixed governance votes pruning for invalid masternodes
------------------------------------------------------
A community member reported a possible attack that involves DoSing masternodes to force the network
to prune all governance votes from this masternodes. This could be used to manipulate vote outcomes.
Performance improvements
------------------------
Slow startup times were observed in older versions. This was due to sub-optimal handling of old
deterministic masternode lists which caused the loading of too many lists into memory. This should be
fixed now.

This vulnerability is currently not possible to execute as LLMQ DKGs and PoSe have not activated yet on
mainnet. This version includes a fix that requires to have at least 51% masternodes to upgrade to
0.14.0.1, after which superblock trigger voting will automatically fix the discrepancies between
old and new nodes. This also means that we will postpone activation of LLMQ DKGs and thus PoSe until
at least 51% of masternodes have upgraded to 0.14.0.1.
Fixed excessive memory use
--------------------------
Multiple issues were found which caused excessive use of memory in some situations, especially when
a full reindex was performed, causing the node to crash even when enough RAM was available. This should
be fixed now.

Fixed a rare memory/db leak in LLMQ based InstantSend
-----------------------------------------------------
We fixed a rare memory/db leak in LLMQ based InstantSend leak which would only occur when reorganizations
would happen.
Fixed out-of-sync masternode list UI
------------------------------------
The masternode tab, which shows the masternode list, was not always up-to-date as it missed some internal
updates. This should be fixed now.
