Hi shibes,

This is for everyone who compiles their own wallets. We have just pushed Dogecoin Core 1.8.3 to Github:

https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/tree/v1.8.3

This is a security update and we highly recommend everyone who runs a node that accepts incoming connection to update asap.

Following are the release notes:

Dogecoin Core 1.8.3

Dogecoin Core 1.8.3 is a security release. It fixes issues in regards to an upcoming announcement of possible DoS vulnerabilities. See the announcement on the bitcoin-dev mailing list for reference. It is strongly recommended to upgrade your installation in case you run a node open to inbound connections from the internet.
If your installation is not open to incoming connections this update is not mandatory, but we still recommend keeping your client up to date.

Dogecoin Core Release Notes

• Pull in patches from usptream to mitigate the risk of a DoS attack.
• Update the DNS seeds for more reliable bootstrapping of the initial peer discovery.
• Update the list of fixed nodes, in case all other means of peer discovery fail.
  

We will push binary downloads for everyone who wants to update soon. We're waiting to get more build signatures so you can be sure the downloads are not tampered with. We decided to do this source release first so that services can upgrade their nodes. Stay tuned for the downloads soon.
