Dear Omni Layer integrators,

Today we announce the release of Omni Core 0.9.0.

This version is a major release and uses Segregated Witness wrapped in P2SH for newly generated addresses per default. It also adds two new transaction types to anchor arbitrary data in the blockchain. As an experimental feature, several new commands were added to support querying any Bitcoin balance.

While this release is not mandatory and doesn’t change the consensus rules of the Omni Layer protocol, an upgrade is nevertheless recommended.

Upgrading from 0.8.2, 0.8.1 or 0.8.0 does not require a rescan and can be done very fast without interruption.
