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.
