BitShares Core Release 2.0.171212
After the hardfork release (2.0.171105a) and hardfork date (2017-12-08) passed, the BitShares Core dev team has enough updates for a new release. This release targets API nodes and we recommend them to upgrade. Block producers (witnesses) and seed nodes should keep in the hardfork release (2.0.171105a) until we can confirm the new release is stable enough.
The most notorious changes are in the addition and update of plugins and some general fixes. No consensus changes are present in this release and the upgrade is recommended to API nodes but optional.
