+# Dash Core version v23.1.10
+
+This is a new patch version release. It fixes a governance issue that could
+stop a superblock from paying any proposals, and hardens DKG and BLS signature
+verification against misbehaving quorum members and peers.
+
+Upgrading is **strongly recommended** for all nodes, and required for
+masternodes.
+
+Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
+
+  <https://github.com/dashpay/dash/issues>
+
+# Upgrading and downgrading
+
+## How to Upgrade
+
+If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
+shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
+installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Dash-Qt (on Mac) or
+dashd/dash-qt (on Linux).
+
+## Downgrade warning
+
+### Downgrade to a version < v23.0.0
+
+Downgrading to a version older than v23.0.0 is not supported, and will
+require a reindex.
+
+# Release Notes
+
+## Governance
+
+- Masternodes no longer vote NO-FUNDING on a superblock trigger before that
+  superblock's maturity window opens (about 3 days before the superblock on
+  mainnet), when they have no candidate of their own to compare it against.
+  These early votes could keep a trigger with the correct payments from
+  reaching the funding threshold, so the superblock paid no proposals.
+  Triggers that don't match a masternode's candidate still receive a NO vote
+  once the window opens.
+- Masternodes no longer vote on triggers until they are fully synced. A
+  masternode restarting inside the maturity window could otherwise vote NO on
+  the correct trigger before it was able to build its own candidate.
+
+Masternodes running older versions still cast the early NO votes, so this
+protection becomes effective as masternodes upgrade. Masternode operators
+should upgrade before the next superblock.
+
+## Security and denial-of-service hardening
+
+These issues do not affect consensus and do not put funds at risk.
+
+- BLS batch verification (signature shares, recovered signatures, InstantSend
+  locks and DKG messages) now weights each signature with a secret random
+  factor before aggregating. Previously two invalid signatures whose errors
+  cancelled out could pass as a valid batch. A peer could use this to disrupt
+  InstantSend or ChainLock signing, get honest peers penalised, or get honest
+  DKG members marked bad.
+- Batched verification of DKG contributions is weighted the same way, so
+  colluding members can no longer give another member invalid secret-key
+  shares that pass verification, which could leave that member unable to sign
+  for the quorum. This did not expose the quorum key.
+- A DKG member copying another member's entire contribution could prevent the
+  whole quorum from forming. Members whose verification vectors share a
+  coefficient are now excluded from the commitment instead of the round
+  failing. This excludes both the copying member and the member it copied,
+  and both receive the usual PoSe penalty for failed DKG participation.
+- Colluding DKG members could stop chosen honest members from building their
+  secret-key share, which could prevent a quorum from forming without any
+  member being blamed. The same condition made a node penalise an honest peer
+  serving quorum data during share recovery. Equal secret-key shares from
+  different members are now accepted; the resulting key share is still
+  verified against the quorum's verification vector.
+
+Like the governance fix, the DKG fixes protect a quorum once enough of its
+members run this version. Weighted batch verification does more work per
+message, so masternodes may see higher CPU use during DKG and signing.
