This is a mandatory update, Komodo Season 6 HF planned on height 2963330 for KMD, and timestamp 1656077853 (Fri Jun 24 2022 13:37:33 GMT+0000) for assetchains. All wallets/nodes should be updated to the latest (0.7.2) software to continue following mainnet.
Fix build with new glibc 2.34 on Linux platforms.
Fix unoptimized depends build (bdb, boost, protobuf, zeromq).
Remove Verus (VRSC) legacy code: VerusHash, VerusHash 1.1, Verus POS/stake, etc. Chains which used VerusHash as primary algo, like LUMBER will be incompatible with new version of daemon.
Code refactoring. Perfomance boost on some operations.
Restore -exchange command line arg for an exchanges (this will disable interest/reward calculations and will set nLockTime in newly created transactions to zero).
Fix / refactor komodo_block_prg and komodo_block_unlocktime internals logic, get rid of VerusHash usage in it. Starting from this release all chains using -ac_timeunlockfrom, -ac_timeunlockto, -ac_timelockgte will be incompatible with new daemon (there was no well-known public blockchains using these features). Newly created blockchains (ACs) using these parameters will work without any limitations on 0.7.2 and higher versions of software.
hf22 / hfnet consensus changes and fixes, related to well-known issues of long-gaps between blocks, disappearing txes from mempool in-case of big gaps between blocks, etc. These changes aimed to improve the network stability, help to get rid of such gaps, and make txes propagation more reliable and stable.
Minor fixes and updates.
