Jack Grigg 06e4ef83ec depends: Update Clang / libcxx to LLVM 15.0.6
- We update Windows cross-compile builds to 15.0.7 because binaries are
  provided for it, but not currently for any other platform we need.
- We update native x84_64 macOS builds to 15.0.4 because no 15.0.6
  binaries are provided, and the 15.0.7 ones appear to be targeted at a
  newer Darwin version.
- We keep FreeBSD on 14.0.6 because no Clang 15 binaries are provided,
  and as FreeBSD is a Tier 3 platform it doesn't block us from upgrading
  the remaining platforms.

Zcash 5.4.1

What is Zcash?

Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Initially based on Bitcoin's design, Zcash intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. More technical details are available in our Protocol Specification.

The zcashd Full Node

This repository hosts the zcashd software, a Zcash consensus node implementation. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zcash transactions. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take several days.

The zcashd code is derived from a source fork of Bitcoin Core. The code was forked initially from Bitcoin Core v0.11.2, and the two codebases have diverged substantially.

🔒 Security Warnings

See important security warnings on the Security Information page.

Zcash is experimental and a work in progress. Use it at your own risk.

📒 Deprecation Policy

This release is considered deprecated 16 weeks after the release day. There is an automatic deprecation shutdown feature which will halt the node some time after this 16-week period. The automatic feature is based on block height.

Other Zcash Implementations

The Zebra project offers a different Zcash consensus node implementation, written largely from the ground up.
