Announcement

The RaiBlocks Team are pleased to announce the release of RaiBlocks Wallet 8.0 for Windows 64bit, Mac OS X and Linux. This is a major upgrade with significant improvements in the speed and reliability of wallet syncing. Other changes include the addition of new RPC as well as upgrading of the included submodules. It is recommended that RaiBlocks users upgrade their desktop/pc wallets to this latest version. The team recognise that the GUI has not been upgraded - it was felt that backend reliability was more important to improve.
At this point 32bit systems are not supported due to the block lattice file system exceeding 32bit OS limitations - it is advised to either upgrade your OS or use an online wallet.

To download please go to https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks/releases/tag/V8.0

While the wallet has been tested extensively for further feedback please go to #new_wallet on the RaiBlocks slack channel.

Some Changes:

Reorganized the bootstrap code to be more readable and also fixed a number of edge cases where it would start from the beginning
Votes coming off the network no longer cause an IO write every time greatly reducing running IO
Blocks are processed in a single queue greatly reducing bootstrap disk IO
Fixed issue where network requests would wait for IO to complete lowering throughput

Fixed issue where log rotation size couldn't be changed
Fixed an issue where the database resizing could cause a crash
Tracking and displaying peer version number in GUI and RPCs
Fixed a number of issues found with clang sanitizers

Good jobs dev..
A bright future for this coin, more fast to sync and transaction..it's time to add new exchange and start to the moon

Thanks devs. You guys did a fantastic job on the wallet. Installed and started syncing back from "0". It's fast because it's already 1/3 of the current blocks sync. Hopefully I won't encounter issues once I import the seed. I'll update you guys once done.
