Title: Version 0.6 release candidate 5 binaries Post by: Gavin Andresen on March 26, 2012, 11:43:02 PM Barring any last-minute showstopper issues, the plan is for release candidate 5 to become the official 0.6.0 release on Wednesday.
So please help look for last-minute showstopper issues: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.0/test/ The major changes from release candidate 4:

The english source file was updated 8 days ago, so yes that makes sense. I'll create a pull request for the translation updates later today (if not another member of the core-dev team is quicker ^^).

Title: Re: Version 0.6 release candidate 5 binaries Post by: Mushoz on March 27, 2012, 03:17:07 PM Since I was most interested in seeing the speedups on downloading the chain, I deleted the chain and ran 0.6 RC5. Now I'm not sure if this is normal, but I'm only getting 8 active connections. Prior to this, I was always getting 30-60 connections depending on the time of the day. uPnP Test 1.16 tool is showing that uPnP is working on my network, and uPnP is in fact enabled in the Bitcoin client.
Is this because I'm still in the initial download phase? Or did this release perhaps break uPnP support? Could someone test this out as well, please? Thanks :) By the way, wonderful job on the database speedups! No more HDD grinding, and the download is already much faster. Could be even faster if I had more active connections though. It would improve my chances of finding a fast peer. Title: Re: Version 0.6 release candidate 5 binaries Post by: Mushoz on March 27, 2012, 04:08:21 PM Heh. The Harddisk is still choking once it's past ~80-85%. :( And there's still several gigabytes of free RAM that isn't being used. Perhaps the caching settings still need some tweaking?
Title: Re: Version 0.6 release candidate 5 binaries Post by: HorseRider on March 27, 2012, 04:13:55 PM Bitcoin is progressing fast. Congrats to Gavin and all others who contribute to such a great idea and such a cool piece of software!
edit. Sorry for the political incorrectness. Title: Re: Version 0.6 release candidate 5 binaries Post by: Diapolo on March 27, 2012, 04:18:44 PM Bitcoin is progressing fast.

You can use the new command-line/config option -dbcache=<N>, with N a number in megabytes. The default is 25, which should be quite good, but if you add more, speed may improve a bit still. |
