Sia-UI v1.1.1
This is a patch release to accompany the v1.1.1 release of Sia. This releases focuses on the renter and hostdb. The renter would previously slow down considerably after about 100 GB of data total had been uploaded, but now will maintain high speeds for much longer than that. While the total amount of data can now easily reach multiple TB, individual files are advised to stay below 100 GB. The hostdb is smarter about scanning and ranking hosts, though may take a few days to get fully adjusted if upgrading.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, our upgrades to the Renter require a full rescan of the blockchain. As a result, if you are upgrading from an older version, siad
may take a long time to load the first time you run it. On an HDD, this may take up to an hour. On an SSD it should take closer to 10 minutes.
The UI release contains minor fixes, such as tweaking the minimization behavior and sanitizing folder paths. It also adds an overlay that appears if siad
takes a while to load. There are also some additional warnings to prevent users from performing certain actions if they are not yet fully synchronized to the network.
