This release provides a few patches and improvements.
Bug fixes
This release fixes several bugs, one from 2.1.0.0, another one from long ago, which does not have any negative side effects apart from producing a lot of error logs, mostly from the 2.1.0.0 bug.
Also fixed an issue which could make the node crash with a segmentation fault if RocksDB got corrupted. If you experience that, please start the miner with enable automatic_rocksdb_repair.
The ArQL tag index is now off by default
See the commit description for some explanation.
