[XPM] [ANN] Primecoin v0.1.2 Release Windows+Linux Build Ready

[Sunny King]

In v0.1.2 release:

• Miner performance improvement. This release includes several miner performance improvements, which have also been incorporated into several miners on the market. The official client is not expected to be competitive with market solutions, so serious miners should explore the current best performing miners on the market.
• chainsperday estimate is included in getmininginfo output. This stat is experimental so it should not be taken as an accurate estimate of prime chain rate of the miner.
• listprimerecords command for users to check all record primechains in Primecoin network.
• Miscellaneous gui and bug fixes.

This release is not mandatory.

Upgrade Instructions:

• Backup wallet and take note of balance.
• Uninstall previous version.
• Set up the new version v0.1.2.
• Start up primecoin and check wallet balance.

If we use @mihaelh's hp8 do we need to update?

[Sunny King]

mikael's hp build should have better mining performance. If you are already using it you can continue to follow his hp updates.

"statsfornerds"

-primechains/day
-record chains* numerical amount
-networkpps
-pps

Would you please provide zip archive too, I don't want to uninstall/Install each time, i can replace new files with old files.

Would you please provide zip archive too

Just use 7-Zip, it can extract the files from the exe.

Mac build?

You can get a mac build for 0.1.1.  ( http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=343.0 ).

I still was hoping someone would update the icon file before the next build.   Will update it to 0.1.2 soon.
