Maintenance release adding additional checkpoints and fixing issues. This release fixes many of the introduced issues discovered when compiling for Windows. Changes include the following:

  • Cross compilation fixes for the Windows binary.
  • Implements many Windows related fixes and improvements.
  • Fixes some potential memory leak issues and concurency issues, discovered when running the wallet through Valgrind.
  • Introduction of a range slider in the transaction list that filters the list to show only the most recent transactions. As a result, UI hangups become less noticeable on updates of the transaction list.
  • Introduce threading to some of the UI code and to certain operations that previously caused a temporary freeze in the execution of the wallet. This speeds up syncing of the wallet significantly.
  • New checkpoints to cover the blocks thus far on the block chain.
  • Massive speedups done to the QT code when the wallet fetches and loops through the transactions of the wallet, performing 300-500% faster than previously on average.
  • Update of LevelDB to version 1.20, the most recent stable version released.
  • Introduced support for AppImages, allowing for the creation of distribution-independent Linux executables of the wallet that can run on any fairly recent Linux distribution.
  • Starting with this version, we will begin distributing a bootstrap.dat file, that you can use to quickly bootstrap in the current blockchain. Note that you should only trust the bootstrap.dat files that you download here from our GitHub project page.

For a maintenance release, this update is relatively massive and includes over 70 changes compared to the previous version. Please refer to the git history for a complete list of changes.
