Pre-release
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.
