gemini-3h-2024-mar-08

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3h.

A few notable improvements:

• massively reduced memory usage on Windows, especially with a lot of space pledged
• faster parallel farm initialization
• faster plotting startup
• fix for space allocation on macOS (regression in mar-04)

NOTE: Some Windows users see proving issues with this release, if that is the case you should downgrade to mar-04 and wait for the next release

The rest of changes are internal.

Ubuntu and Windows x86-64 builds

There are two versions:

• skylake: for Intel Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer
• x86-64-v2: for older processors since ~2009 and some old VMs
• older processors/VMs are no longer supported by official releases, but can still be compiled manually if desired
• x86-64 container images are built for Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer only
