Steem 0.15.0 Released (Hardfork)
Hardfork is scheduled for 2016/11/08 16:00:00 UTC (11:00:00 EST)
This hardfork is entirely to fix bugs in preparation for the migration to shared memory implementation. The bugs that were fixed are not security sensitive and have no impact on existing users of Steem. We are simply adding some additional validation checks on account name length in authorities. After the switch to shared memory account names will be fixed length strings.

I think it's time we make cheetah the mascot of steemit!
The cheetah article was the first article I ever read on Steemit lol
Some good updates here..! This is my second official hardfork and I'm pretty excited to roll out new software on my witness. Thanks for the update Steemit.
I really don't understand any of it, but bug fixes and getting rid of redundancy and forbidding non-existent account names all sounds like you're working toward efficiency and closing loopholes. Sounds good to me!
Keep it up you guys! Great work so far, looking forward to continued developments!
Focusing in building in the key despite price fall. Price and value a different so I focus in steemit value, not the price. If people are using it, it has value.
