### Overview
This is the v0.11.0.0 major release of the Monero software, and it is a mandatory update due to the September 15th hard fork, which in turn increases the minimum ring signature size across the network and bans duplicate ring members in a ring signature. This release of the software presents a number of major improvements to Monero, as well as a large set of bug fixes.
This is the v0.11.0.0 major release of the Monero software, and it is a mandatory update due to the September 15th hard fork, which in turn increases the minimum ring signature size to 5 across the network, bans duplicate ring members in a ring signature, and enforces use of ringCT for all transaction outputs. This release of the software presents a number of major improvements to Monero, as well as a large set of bug fixes.
Some highlights of this release are:
- major synchronisation speed-up
- major synchronisation speed-up from reducing bandwidth used
- massively improved the blockchain import function
- changed terminology from "mixin" to "ring size"
- add a --fluffy-blocks option to relay blocks as fluffy blocks if possible
- allow for password verification without loading the subsequently unencrypted wallet into RAM
- reduced privacy leak risks when using untrusted remote nodes
- added an Esperanto wordlist
- added an Esperanto wordlist for mnemonic seed choices
- decreased memory demands for the getblocks RPC call
