@bytemaster bytemaster released this 21 Oct 17:40

This release contains the following updates:

  1. Symbol names PARENT.CHILD now require that CHILD can only be created by issuer of asset PARENT to support namespaces similar to BTS 1.0
  2. Account names with 1 and 2 characters are now valid like they were in BTS 1.0

The hardfork will take effect on October 23 at 12:00:00 AM (1445558400 UTC seconds). All full nodes will be required to upgrade by that date or they will fork from the network after the first attempt to register an invalid PARENT.CHILD asset.

To minimize the potential of abuse and the likelihood of anyone attempting to register PARENT.CHILD between now and the hardfork, the transaction fee for registering an asset has temporarily been set at 5,000,000 BTS ($20,000) and will be lowered after the hard fork.

This hardfork is being implemented as a "bug-fix" hardfork to remain compatible with BTS 1.0 semantics and therefore can be implemented and accepted by witness approval alone.
