gemini-3g-2024-jan-08

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3g.

Two improvements:

• Improved NUMA support by not running plotting and replotting on the same set of CPU cores + some other improvements
• Fixed memory leak on Windows

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-3g-2024-jan-03

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3g.

Two improvements:

• improved node sync state check, should prevent brief synced/not synced transitions
• NUMA support in farmer for faster plotting on large processors (see forum post for more details)

The rest of the 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

NOTE: This release has the wrong tag, but otherwise equivalent to gemini-3g-2024-jan-03

gemini-3g-2023-dec-22

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3g.

A single improvement:

• Farmer processes archived segments in more graceful way fixing large gaps in block production and massively reducing network usage spikes

The rest of the 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

• x86-64 container images are built for Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer only

gemini-3g-2023-dec-20

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3g.

A few improvements:

• fix for farm locking that prevents farmer from starting (--no-info was a workaround, shouldn't be necessary anymore)
• --farm-during-initial-plotting now takes true/false argument and defaults to true on machines with more than 8 logical cores, which means most users shouldn't need to specify it anymore 🎉
  This change is based on consistent feedback from the community, thank you!

The rest of the changes are internal.

• x86-64 container images are built for Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer only

gemini-3g-2023-dec-18-2

Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3g.

A few improvements:

• only process canonical consensus blocks by operator, decreasing computation required and avoiding crashes in case there are many forks
• acquire farm lock on the farmer in order to prevent accidental use of the same farm by two farmer instances that will inevitably lead to slashing and other issues

The rest of the changes are internal.
