This major release includes numerous usability and core updates. Existing wallets and ledgers will be invalid so delete the RaiBlocksBeta directory in your home directory on OSX/Linux or in your AppData/Local directory on Windows.

Major changes:

  • Changed hashing function to Blake2 for improved performance.
  • Block viewer added under advanced in wallet
  • Network connection indicator added to wallet.
  • You can now switch between wallet accounts
  • Configurable logging

Minor changes:

  • Wallet key derivation is done in background so startup is more responsive
  • cerr logging now shows timestamps
  • Bootstrap nodes are chosen randomly from peers instead of always the first one.
  • Nodes can send out confirm requests if broadcast voting has ended
  • Finding a successor is now constant time instead of O(n) which would have been a DOS vulnerability.
  • Merging fork_source with overreceive and calling it unreceivable since they're all the same concept and not really forks.
