+[dcrd](https://github.com/decred/dcrd): This month developers merged [reversed UTXO set semantics](https://github.com/decred/dcrd/pull/1471), an important change that provides simpler handling by all the Decred nodes around the world resulting improved effeciency (for example full block tests run 40% faster). A [database migration](https://github.com/decred/dcrd/pull/1520) will be added in the next major release to capitolize on the improvements after extensive testing is completed.
 
-* Reversed UTXO set semantics is merged https://github.com/decred/dcrd/pull/1471
-* Database migration for the UTXO set semantics reversal https://github.com/decred/dcrd/pull/1520 (big change, more testing is welcome {remove if merged}). A nice side effect if this change is that full block tests run 40% faster.
+[dcrwallet](https://github.com/decred/dcrwallet): As usage has increased the number of addresses watched by default has become too limited for some and configuration file modification for dcrwallet was required as a workaround. This [address watching issue](https://github.com/decred/dcrwallet/pull/1320) was fixed by default this month. Additional rare use case fixes included potential [missed or double spent transactions](https://github.com/decred/dcrwallet/pull/1321) and [improvement of locked balance calculations](https://github.com/decred/dcrwallet/pull/1330).

+[Decrediton](https://github.com/decred/decrediton): To ensure continued cross-platform stability and performance Decrediton was [updated to Electron 3](https://github.com/decred/decrediton/pull/1777) this month. [Display of the Decred Treasury balance](https://github.com/decred/decrediton/pull/1777) was added. The [Decred Treaury](https://explorer.dcrdata.org/address/Dcur2mcGjmENx4DhNqDctW5wJCVyT3Qeqkx) holds the funds for use in project development. [General loading optimizations](https://github.com/decred/decrediton/pull/1825) and [optimizations specific to large wallets](https://github.com/decred/decrediton/pull/1727) were completed ensuring continued fast performace as wallets scale in size.
