PIVX Core version 2.2.1 is now available from: | ||
|
||
<https://github.com/pivx-project/pivx/releases> | ||
|
||
This is a new minor version release, including various bug fixes and | ||
performance improvements, as well as updated translations. | ||
|
||
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: | ||
|
||
<https://github.com/pivx-project/pivx/issues> | ||
|
||
Compatibility | ||
============== | ||
|
||
PIVX Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using | ||
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. | ||
|
||
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support), | ||
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you | ||
can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues. | ||
Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker. | ||
|
||
PIVX Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not | ||
frequently tested on them. | ||
|
||
Notable Changes | ||
=============== | ||
|
||
Block Data Corruption | ||
--------------------- | ||
|
||
Additional startup procedures have been added to fix corrupted blockchain databases. | ||
The majority of users that are experiencing #106 (ConnectBlock() assertion on startup) | ||
that have tested the new wallet have reported that their corrupt blockchain has | ||
successfully been repaired. The new code will automatically detect and repair the | ||
blockchain if it is able to. | ||
|
||
If users still experience corruptions with the new wallet and it is not fixed | ||
with the new startup procedures, it is suggested that they try using the | ||
`-forcestart` startup flag which will bypass the new procedures altogether, and | ||
in rare cases allow the wallet to run. If the database is not fixed by either | ||
the automatic procedures or the `-forcestart` flag, the user should resync the | ||
blockchain. | ||
|
||
Additional progress has been made to prevent the wallet crashes that are causing | ||
the corrupted databases, for example removing the Trading Window (explained below) | ||
and fixing several other minor memory leaks that were inherited from the version | ||
of Bitcoin that PIVX was forked from. | ||
|
||
RPC Changes | ||
----------- | ||
|
||
- Exporting or dumping an addresses' private key while the wallet is unlocked for | ||
anonymization and Staking only is no longer possible. | ||
|
||
- A new command (`getstakingstatus`) has been added that returns the internal conditions | ||
for staking to be activated and their status. | ||
|
||
- KeePass integration has been removed for the time being due to various inefficiencies | ||
with it's code. | ||
|
||
Trading Window Removed | ||
---------------------- | ||
|
||
The Bittrex trading window in the GUI wallet was problematic with it's memory | ||
handling, often leaking, and was overall an inefficient use of resources in it's | ||
current implementation. A revised multi-exchange trading window may be implemented | ||
at a later date. | ||
|
||
