3. Updated client?

Updated client?

  • admins

    We were hoping the rc for the networking updates would be ready today. The only thing that's missing is this: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/pull/1013

    Well, that and some small fixes to siac and an adjustment to the default bolt settings for Windows users. But it's little enough that it could be ready today.

    Update is on the way, already the 0.5.2-rc is out, we're releasing another rc in the next day or two.

    The renter and host overhaul is almost complete. We're in the final stages of connecting the renter and host together, and then we've got a lot of code cleanup and testing to do. I'm hoping that we can have an rc for the new renter and host out by the end of March, though realistically it's going to be delayed until April. Quality software takes time, and I'm proud of what we're in the middle of making.

    Sia is more mainstream every day :). Word is spreading quickly, and that's being reflected in the price. We are hoping to have the upgraded renter and host out ASAP so people can start using the full product.

    I've been running the latest release candidate all week and it is so much faster. I'm really excited about where this project is going, feels like we're on the brink of something genuinely new. Can't wait for the mainstream release.

    Is it mandatory to update to the latest client every time?

  • @mecixo In most cases updating is optional. We try to avoid breaking compatibility between versions. When we do break compatibility, we usually provide a large support window, so you can run an older version for a long time without worrying about desychronizing.

    We're planning on launching 1.0 on June 7th, 2016, exactly 1 year after the launch of the blockchain protocol.

    We're hoping to have 0.6.0-rc1 out in 12 days.
