 +===== January 21st 2025 =====
 +
 +@here **Qortal Core Auto-Update version 4.7.0 has been SIGNED** 
 +
 +
 +*Changes in this release:*
 +
 +This release marks a significant step forward in the project history. The removal of the ability to self-sponsor, and the removal of any type of additional rewards given to 'founders' from consensus. 
 +
 +  * All changes proposed in the 'crowetics-proposals' website have been included in final versions in this release. 
 +  * The only changes that have NOT been made that were so proposed, are the removal of blocksMintedAdjustment from credit towards blocksMinted. This change will take place in a subsequent release.
 +
 +  * featureTriggers created:
 +
 +<code>"adminsReplaceFoundersHeight": 2012800,
 +
 +"nullGroupMembershipHeight": 2012800,
 +
 +"ignoreLevelForRewardShareHeight": 2012800,
 +
 +"adminQueryFixHeight": 2012800</code>
 +
 +
 +  * All featureTriggers will take place on the same block.
 +  * Rewards Modifications, and GROUP_APPROVAL changes (making the MINTER group - ID 694) able to be controlled by way of GROUP_APPROVAL. 
 +  * After featureTrigger activates, MINTER group will be transferred to 'null account', and will subsequently from then on be controlled by way of GROUP_APPROVAL from the admins of the MINTER group (A.K.A 'Minter Admins'). 
 +
 +
 +**all featureTriggers kick in on block** - 2012800

 +
 +===== December 6th 2024 =====
 +
 +@everyone GitHub Release has been completed. 
 +
 +crowetic has written scripts to automatically create the releases for the Qortal core and will add further automation to the script in the near future. Additionally, this was the first auto-update created and published by crowetic, and after the 12 hours it took to figure out, create build environments for, document, and accomplish, many potential improvements were found. 
 +
 +It is now a personal goal to **automate this process** and make it a single command to create, and issue auto-update transactions, so that any dev can accomplish it with ease. 
 +
 +The build environments will be created in virtual machines and made available whenever possible for download, so that anyone may have build environments, and when not possible they will be made available in a hosted format that can be leveraged with scripts to automate the process of building/testing/publishing auto-updates. 
 +
 +The Advanced Installer file has been updated and the Windows Installer exe (qortal.exe installer) has been improved both in function and dramatic visual improvement. The copyright section has been replaced with a mention of the Qortal Development Group and fully open source nature of the project. 
 +
 +Over the upcoming months, this goal shall be realized, and the auto-update and release process for the Qortal Core shall be dramatically enhanced. 
 +
 +The same for the Qortal UI (legacy UI) some scripts are written but need improvement, and others need to be written. 
 +
 +The Mac installation for the Qortal UI (legacy) requires a mac signing key, which is annoying, but will be figured out in the most optimal fashion moving forward, hopefully by obtaining an open source key as has been accomplished for Advanced Installer. (The Advanced Installer license needs updates, but will be accomplished soon as well.) 
 +
 +GitHub will be slowly completely replaced over the coming months...

 +

 ===== December 3rd 2024 ===== ===== December 3rd 2024 =====
 +
 +@everyone - We are in the process of testing the changes that will be made in the next release. The tests of the latest optimizations from Kenny have been ongoing for a few days now. Now we have a new test jar, with further changes from Alpha, and Phil, and unit test improvements from Quick. 
 +
 +If you would like to test the pre-release, please do. (NOTE - The current Qortal Master on the main repo is NOT the code we are testing, the master repo has a few additional changes that we are not going to immediately make. The changes we are testing are available on crowetic repo, see details below.) 
 +
 +Readme + Details here - https://cloud.qortal.org/s/AKComboReadme465
 +
 +**Linux/Mac Quickstart**
 +
 +<code> cd ~/qortal && ./stop.sh && sleep 10 && rm -rf qortal.jar && curl -L -O https://cloud.qortal.org/s/wHMz8XwZiGjwkBc/download/qortal.jar && ./start.sh </code>
 +
 +Code - https://github.com/crowetic/qortal
 +
 +Thus far this jar has been VERY solid for existing testing. It is highly recommended, especially if you are running current release version, as that version contains quite a few issues that have been resolved with this test version. 
 +
 +Thank you.

 based on early review, it seems the pruner thread is crashing more frequently than we had hoped, in which case running the pre-release jar is going to be a good idea.
