The previous behaviour was to use FALLBACK_DOWNLOAD_PATH to download dependencies if the primary did not resolve. This was not resilient against primaries that either mis-report HTTP status codes (e.g. SourceForge returning 200 OK alongside a 404 webpage), or did not guarantee artifacts to be bit-stable (e.g. GitHub regenerating commit archive caches in a non-reproducible manner); in either case, the incorrect file would be fetched and then the build would fail due to hash mismatch. The new behaviour is to download dependencies and check their hashes as an atomic operation, and use FALLBACK_DOWNLOAD_PATH if any part of the operation fails. |

Zcash 3.1.0
What is Zcash?
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, 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.
This software is the Zcash client. 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 a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.
🔒 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.
