## Overview | ||
|
||
Pactus Blockchain [Version 0.18.0](https://github.com/pactus-project/pactus/releases/tag/v0.18.0) | ||
is now available for download. | ||
This release includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that | ||
is suitable for both beginners and experienced users. | ||
It also includes a command-line interface (CLI) for advanced users and wallet software | ||
that allows users to interact with the blockchain without the need to sync the entire blockchain. | ||
|
||
## Highlights | ||
|
||
This version has significantly improved the syncing progress. | ||
The syncing process concurrently requests blocks from 8 different peers and | ||
actively connects to the most optimal peers for downloading the blockchain. | ||
|
||
Additionally, users can now import private keys into their wallet and securely encrypt them using their wallet password. | ||
|
||
### Breaking change | ||
|
||
For Unix-based systems, please note that the working directory for root users has changed from `/pactus` to `/root/pactus`. | ||
|
||
## Download | ||
|
||
This version has been implemented for [Testnet-2]({{ site.url }}/2023/10/15/testnet-2-launched.html) and | ||
is being prepared for the upcoming Mainnet launch. | ||
To start using Pactus Blockchain Testnet-2, download the latest version from the | ||
[download]({{ site.baseurl }}/download) page and join the Testnet. | ||
