gemini-3h-2024-apr-26-2

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3h.

Hotfix for gemini-3h-2024-apr-26 release that couldn't create new farms.

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

gemini-3h-2024-apr-26

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3h.

A few notable improvements:

• --farm-during-initial-plotting removed from farmer as unnecessary (always enabled now)
• Faster node startup
• Fix farmer errors after resizing

The rest of the changes are internal.

gemini-3h-2024-apr-24

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3h.

A few notable improvements:

• Higher peak DSN download speed with libp2p upgrade
• Exact CPU cores used for plotting/replotting are not printed in logs on farmer startup (helpful as a baseline for customization)
• L3 cache groups now properly respected when --sector-encoding-concurrency is used without --[re|]plotting-thread-pool-size, improving performance for those using it
• Single farm can now encode any number of sectors concurrently (regrouping of CPU cores no longer happens)

The rest of the changes are internal.

gemini-3h-2024-mar-29

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3h.

A few notable improvements:

• Support for CPU core ranges in --plotting-cpu-cores and --replotting-cpu-cores farmer options

• --sector-encoding-concurrency is no longer required for --plotting-thread-pool-size and --replotting-thread-pool-size to have effect
• A few domain-specific fixes
• Fix for occasional temporary node de-sync caused by announcement of very old blocks (such blocks will now be ignored)
