Disabling warnings can be tricky, because doing so can cause a different compiler to create new warnings about unsupported disable flags. Also, some warnings don't surface until they're paired with another warning (gcc). For example, adding "-Wno-foo" won't cause any trouble, but if there's a legitimate warning emitted, the "unknown option -Wno-foo" will show up as well. Work around this in 2 ways: 1. When checking to see if -Wno-foo is supported, check for "-Wfoo" instead. 2. Enable -Werror while checking 1. If "-Werror -Wfoo" compiles, "-Wno-foo" is almost guaranteed to be supported. -Werror itself is also checked. If that fails to compile by itself, it likely means that the user added a flag that adds a warning. In that case, -Werror won't be used while checking, and the build may be extra noisy. The user would need to fix the bad input flag. Also, silence 2 more additional warnings that can show up post-c++11.
Zcash 1.0.13
What is Zcash?
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. 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 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 time period. The automatic feature is based on block height and can be explicitly disabled.
