Version 0.8.8

[guydavis]

Good day, the next version of Machinaris is now available. Thanks to all those that contributed fixes, testing, and other feedback.

Added

• Support for running a blockchain timelord with environment variable mode set to fullnode,timelord.
• Optional config setting to restart fork fullnodes if they consume too much memory. Looking at you Flora, HDDCoin, N-Chain, etc...

Changed

• On fresh install, optionally download (via libtorrent) a recent Chia database checkpoint.
• Fixes for Gigahorse GPU plotting including 64 GB RAM mode using the tmp3 SSD plotting path.
• Fix for Gigahorse Alerts, please reset earlier broken settings file.
• Fix for container stop signal to cleanly shutdown forks too, as was already happening for Chia.

Updated

• Bladebit to 3.0.0-alpha3, so still unstable.
• Chia to v1.7.1
• Gigahorse to v1.6.2.giga7 with OpenCL support for AMD GPUs.
• MMX to (v0.9.14) on testnet9. Supporting the latest AMD GPU driver.
• One to v1.7.0

Notes

• Bladebit has regressed on the ability to ramplot as they try to match Gigahorse's GPU plotting. Still awaiting a fix...
• Support for new blockchains and tools DOES NOT imply my endorsement for them. Only run those you are comfortable with.
