We put out a new release today which has a number of improvements to nodes and wallets.

Changes:

  • Wallet: Improved
  • Node: Improved, upgrade config.json
  • Protocol: Unchanged
  • Ledger: Unchanged

Highlights:

  • Significantly improved synchronization speed, especially for machines with slow I/O
  • More aggressively clearing encryption keys out of memory after use. This along with the password fan are the mitigation strategy against memory scraping of encryption keys.
  • Reduced logging noise for locked wallets

Backup reminder:
The RaiBlocks data and your wallet keys are stored in the RaiBlocks data directory, this directory does not need to be changed but you can back up the folder "backup" which contains your wallet keys for extra assurance.
Windows: C:\Users\AppData\Local\RaiBlocks
Linux: ~/RaiBlocks
OSX: ~/Library/RaiBlocks

Upgrade:
Wallet: Replace your RaiBlocks executable with the new version.
Node: Replace your rai_node executable with the new version. Edit your config.json and add entries for frontier_request_limit or chain_request_limit. If you don't do this you'll get an error on startup "Error loading configuration" It should look like:
"rpc": {
"address": "::ffff:0.0.0.0",
"port": "7076",
"enable_control": "false",
"frontier_request_limit": "16384",
"chain_request_limit": "16384"
}
