BitShares Core 3.2.1
The BitShares Core software has been updated to the 3.2.1 release. The Core software is used to build the validation nodes that perform consensus of all transactions on the BitShares blockchain. This release includes a fix for an issue found in the 3.2.0 release, and does not include any changes to the consensus protocol.
Documentation for users may be be found at How BitShares Works.
Documentation for BitShares developers may be now be found at the new BitShares Developer Portal.

Operators of API nodes should upgrade
- to avoid an API node not responding
- and to receive the benefits of the 3.2.0 Release.
