BitShares-Core Release 2.0.180612

[EasyDex]

Is it because some of the fixes are not applicable to the testnet?

With some of the changes like the ones in this release some of which are pretty major you want to run them on testnet for a little bit to make sure no strange bugs pop up that you didn't foresee. That being said, I'm really excited about this release. This will make some of the features we have planned MUCH easier to implement and will help us bring lots of exciting features to the Bitshares ecosystem.

Code is almost the same except hard fork dates.

Hmm that's interesting, why did you guys choose to apply a different release to the mainnet?

Because mainnet and testnet are different.

Please read https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core/wiki/Git-Flow for details.

The "older release" was for testnet, this one contains (mostly) the same set of changes but is for mainnet.

I saw many same BSIPS implemented in older release: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=26427.0

Is this replacing that release?

## API changes

* `extensions` field of `call_order_update_operation` changed from an array to an object, which affects all related API's E.G. `get_block`, `get_account_history`, `get_relative_account_history` and etc. Due to this, old version of `cli_wallet` won't be compatible with new API nodes when that operation would occur in result.
