Dogecoin Core 1.14.8 Brings Bug Fixes To Networking Code

According to ‘Junior Developer’ on X today, August 8, the Core 1.14.8 update has been released. The “release includes important networking code updates,” he added. Furthermore, “We strongly recommend all users on every platform update soon,” the post stressed. Meanwhile, the newly introduced bug fixes encompassed:

  • Reduced peer inv object counts
  • Improved transaction request tracking
  • Improved orphan transaction handling

The abovementioned bug fixes primarily improve efficiency, security, reliability, and trust on the blockchain network. Also, the update notified that “availability of a notarized MacOS dmg is delayed due to a hiccup in the interaction with Apple’s service, but it is expected to be provided at a later time.”

Earlier this month, Junior Developer spotlighted the significance of Dogecoin Core, stressing its vital roles in node operation, wallet functionality, and transaction validation process. The update remains crucial in maintaining a proper, seamless functioning of the Core software.
