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
• Improved error handling on farmer, including not exiting if some farms crash, but others continue to work (--exit-on-farm-error can be used to restore previous behavior)
• Improved farmer caching
• --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)
• QUIC protocol support removed that should address networking issues for some users (UDP ports are no longer used)
