5.3.6
Fast Synchronization:
- Added PIBD support for header hashes, enabling parallel header downloads from multiple peers.
- Improved sync throughput with optimized peer management.
- Enhanced peer selection to ensure connections align with required capabilities.
- Configurations now dynamically adjust to host resources, optimizing sync speed without overloading low-end systems. Rebalance sizes of PIBD blocks to make them roughly same size.
Bug Fixes/Improvements:
- Enhanced efficiency in discovering peers, especially Tor.
- Enhanced efficiency in initial peers connection.
- Resolved PIBD synchronization failures caused by compatibility issues with archive nodes.
- Improved blockchain recovery from data corruption. This issue is critical for archive nodes.
- TUI is updated so it can work with the latest MacOS Sequoia version.
Note:
- Node first start will take few minutes, node will need to revisit all blocks.
- Please make sure that your Tor version is updated to version 0.4.
