BitShares Core "Splash" 5.1.0 Release
# Release Notes

The [BitShares](https://bitshares.org) Core software has been updated to the [5.1.0 Feature Release](https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core/milestone/35?closed=1). The codename of the 5.x releases is *"Splash"*. The Core software is used to build the validation nodes that perform consensus of all transactions on the BitShares blockchain. This release includes additions, improvements and bug fixes but _does not include any changes to the consensus protocol_.

Documentation for users may be be found at [How BitShares Works](https://how.bitshares.works).

Documentation for BitShares developers may be found at the [BitShares Developer Portal](https://dev.bitshares.works).

## <div id="who-should-upgrade-5-1-0"/> Who Should Upgrade?

Public API nodes should upgrade to support client software that attempt to use the [new APIs](#api-5-1-0).

Private API nodes may or may not upgrade depending on the use cases.

Pure validation nodes E.G. block producers and seed nodes are not required to upgrade. 

## <div id="upgrade-process-5-1-0"/> Upgrade Process

### Precautions

- A _blockchain replay_ will automatically be performed after the validation node software is restarted. This typically takes a few hours on a modern CPU.

### <div id="upgrade-from-source-5-1-0" /> How to Upgrade from Source Code

**Note:**

* The code base requires a compiler that supports the C++ 14 standard
* The minimum supported boost version is 1.58, the maximum is 1.69
* The minimum supported CMake version is 3.2

#### Obtain the Source Code

The source code may be obtained by checking out the [5.1.0 tag](https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core/releases/tag/5.1.0).  Download the source at:
