Testnet Release: 1.1.3.9

This release brings again some major improvements to performance, this time related to syncing, restarting and becoming solid. With this release, we are also restarting the Testnet. This means that you have to carefully read the instructions below.

It should be noted that we have also added the --max-peers flag. This new flag lets you determine how many neighbors you will accept in non-mutual tethering mode. Initially it is set to 0, indicating that you want mutual tethering. Increase it to a higher number that you're comfortable with (usually between 7 and 9)

What you have to do

As we are completely resetting the network, you have to do the following:

1. After having shut down your current node, remove the ixi, testnetdb and testnetdb.log folders
2. Download version 1.1.3.9
3. Remove all of your existing nodes. Pick a new port UDP or TCP receiver port for your node (e.g. -t 14666 -u 14666)
4. Before you start your node, make sure you have actually followed steps 1 through 3.
5. Search for new neighbors in #testnet-nodesharing
