The release introduces a few improvements and bug fixes.

  • Improve syncing speed and stability significantly;
  • fix the issue where the node connected to a VDF server would occasionally lag behind;
  • add support for the VDF server pull interface, removing the requirement of a static IP when using a VDF server; to enable it, run your client with enable vdf_server_pull;
  • improve the mining performance of the nodes connected to the VDF server;
  • fix the bug introduced in 2.6.4 where two-chunk solutions with the chunks coming from different partitions would be dropped;
  • disable the server-side packing/unpacking of chunks by default (used to be enabled but very strictly limited); enable with enable pack_served_chunks;
  • add the GET /inflation/{height} endpoint returning the inflation reward for the given height;
  • reduce peak memory footprint during node initialization, and baseline memory footprint while syncing.

Note if you are running your own VDF servers, update the server nodes first, then the client nodes.

The release comes with the prebuilt binaries for the Linux x86_64 platforms.

If you want to run the miner from the existing Git folder, execute the following command:

git fetch --all --tags && git checkout -f N.2.6.9
