  • Each run of devaultd/devault-qt will create a new debug.log file and rename older files based on last accessed time Use -keeplogfiles= to specify how long to keep in days (default is 7)

  • Change coin display precision and current network precision to 3 decimal points instead of 8

  • Remove BIP9 code

  • Prompt user for Password on 1st run so that wallet will always be encrypted

  • Allow blank bypass password for miners if needed1

  • Exclusive use of Bech32 style addresses

  • Replace Difficulty with LWMA difficulty calculation

  • Reorg Depth set at 30 blocks

  • Default # of keys generated is 200 in total, miners may want to use -keypool at 1st startup for additional keys

    • Use Catch framework for unit tests
    • Newer platforms don't require linking to any Boost libraries, allowing std::filesystem to be used
