v2.1.5

This is a bug fix release addressing mixing reliability issues.

The pairing version to specify compatibility with other mixing peers has been increased in this release (decred/dcrd#3674). Wallets running this release will not mix with older wallets, or vice versa.

It is highly recommended that all users upgrade from prior releases.

Bug fixes

• SPV peers are now provided as the peer source of mixing messages. This allows mixpool orphan removal to more accurately target peers who have submitted the most orphans (cd2f59d).

• The accountsyncaddressindex JSON-RPC method now correctly syncs the external account branch (instead of internal) (bc7039e).

• The mixing client now excludes peers who would exceed the new mixing limits that were introduced in the 2.1.4 release (decred/dcrd#3672).

• The mixpool no longer penalizes for peers excluded by the 100KB standard transaction size or the new 2.1.4 mixing limits (decred/dcrd#3673).
