+dragonx (1.1.0) stable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Extend DRAGONX checkpoints to height 3,226,000, enabling the existing
+    RandomX skip below the last in-index checkpoint. Blocks requiring a
+    RandomX verify drop from ~391,000 to ~5,500; measured 91.3 blk/s below
+    the checkpoint vs 4.7 above on identical hardware.
+  * Verify each block's RandomX solution once per connect instead of twice,
+    and only when CheckBlockHeader actually performed the verification
+    (future-timestamped blocks keep their check).
+  * Build RandomX with ARCH=default rather than ARCH=native, so binaries are
+    not silently tuned to the build machine's CPU. A Zen4 build previously
+    emitted AVX-512 into librandomx.a, which cannot run on the seed fleet or
+    on older user CPUs.
+  * Remove a hardcoded git commit id that made builds without git metadata
+    report themselves as an unrelated 2018 commit.
+  * Includes the accumulated dev-branch work since 1.0.2: parallel RandomX
+    pre-verification, adaptive -dbcache, Sapling witness desync fix, BIP39
+    seed phrases, chain-level Sapling turnstile, and the audit fixes.
