Neutron v4.1.0 - Recommended update

Who should update

• All masternodes, stakers, and wallets

Release Notes

• Even more aggressive block download from peers implemented by randomly flushing the known inventory of a random peer and re-asking about blocks
• The initial masternode list sync now fills out the whole winner list from the start by referencing the transactions in
  the block chain database
• Identified and resolved problems with the semaphore lock-order between threads. This could cause hangups and stalls and the problem was present in several locations of the daemon. Please refer to the change log (v4.0.2.666...v4.1.0) for further details
• Masternode scores are now calculated earlier in ConnectBlock(...)
• The request rate of masternode list updates has been cut in half
• Update to LevelDB 1.22
• Increase of the LevelDB memory cache, including several tweaks to the settings of the backend
• Initial block downloads now time out if they take more than 5 minutes without the sync moving
• Correctly show the satanic edition in getpeerinfo
• Remove proof-of-work field from RPC getinfo command - this was slowing it down
• During reorganize events, SetBestChain(...) now correctly repoints pindexNew to the last good block. This was one of the causes for the money supply being lost and seems to be a long standing bug in many cryptocurrency chains
• Update to the debug system for lock contention detection. If enabled and a lock takes more than half a second to acquire a warning is printed to the debug.log file
