Client Update: v1.1.0.0-pre (Pre-release)Finally an update. This update addresses a few major issues.
- The code was re-forked from a fresh litecoin tree and rebuilt (including litecoin's git history to properly show our lineage)
- Sync issues were addressed by adding DNS seeds. Config files are no longer mandatory.
- Icons were updated (for no real reason) to current oxygen icon set
- Version numbers bumped
The "unofficial" github was renamed to litecoindark-staging due to it no longer being unofficial. As an official developer, I make my changes to a local repository and publish to the staging repo whenever I feel I've reached the next target milestone. At which time, I submit a pull request to Robbert for review and merge into the official github. I do not manage the official github, nor do I have any direct access, but I prefer to work this way as I have complete control of the staging repository and Robbert can continue to maintain what gets into upstream.
This release was pushed out quickly due to all of the sync issues that people were having. My local repository already contains various additional updates that will see a public launch in the next few days, and I am simply releasing this version for people to test and ensure that some of the bugs have been fixed. Once some distributed testing has been done, we will release version 1.1.0 proper.
You'll note a message in the QT client stating that this is a prerelease build and that it should not be used for mining or merchant purposes. I would like to reiterate and specify this directly.
Do not use this for mining or merchant purposes. It is a prerelease build and some things may break. Due to this, I will not be providing binaries, but if you would like to checkout and compile your own copy, feel free to clone the repository at
https://github.com/TrollByFire/litecoindark-staging.
Thank you all for your continued patience and support.
