Dogecoin developers released Core 1.14.6 update last Thursday
As shared by developer Dogecoin Inevitable360, Dogecoin nodes are migrating to the recently released Core v.14.6 update. However, there is still a long way to go.
According to the whatisdogecoin website, there are still 1,803 nodes running on the old version 1.14.5, while 251 nodes are currently running on the latest release v.14.6. In all, there are currently 5,674 nodes on the network.
Essentially, Dogecoin nodes are programs that verify transactions and blocks. The Dogecoin full node, which verifies transactions on the blockchain, is the most widely used type of Dogecoin node.
The network must be entirely supported and maintained by individual computers running full nodes since Dogecoin asserts itself to be fully decentralized, meaning there is no central authority that owns or runs it.
As reported by U.Today, the developers of Dogecoin released the Core 1.14.6 update last Thursday. The minor release brings significant network performance improvements and security upgrades. Additionally, the release lowers the suggested dust limit for each user on the Dogecoin network from 1 DOGE to 0.01 DOGE.

According to the developer documentation, a new remote procedure call (RPC) method, rescan, has been implemented to allow node operators to rescan the chain for wallet transactions starting at a specific height. As noted in a Github release, “This can help speed up the rescan process for keys known to be generated after a certain date or block height.”
