BTX Node 0.6.4 (mac)

Quitting no longer cuts your node's shutdown short. When the app stops a node it asks it to shut down and then waits, because a node needs up to a minute or two to finish writing everything to disk. That wait was only being applied in one case: if the app had adopted an already-running node — which is exactly what happens right after an update installs itself — quitting gave it ten seconds before forcing it closed. A node cut off mid-write rebuilds part of its state on the next start, which is the slow "Verifying blocks…" wait some people saw after quitting.

Both cases now get the same full budget, so a node you quit shuts down cleanly and starts fast next time.

The bundled node is unchanged from 0.6.2/0.6.3, so there is nothing to re-download and your copy of the chain stays where it is.

Mac (Apple Silicon) release. Windows and Linux stay on 0.6.0 until their own node update train runs — their downloads are unchanged.
