P2Pool v3.6 was released.
Changes:
- Avoid unnecessary block broadcasts and block requests to save traffic (works best when connected to v3.6+ nodes)
- 2 times faster initial sync when connected to v3.6+ nodes
- Release binaries for Windows are now built with clang compiler (7-8% faster block verification)
- Tweaked how release binaries for other OS are built, binary sizes are reduced significantly
- Fixed a rare data race bug that could happen during block verification
- Added a full source code archive with all dependencies
FYI: According to Github pages, v3.6 doesn’t start on some OSes (e.g. CentOS, Windows 7) perhaps as an accidental side effect of the compiler change; fixed in v3.6.1.
