Overview
Bandwidth optimization for non-participating nodes and golang 1.17 upgrade.
What's New
- Non-participating nodes do not receive gossiped proposed transactions by default
- Building from source now supported for M1 Mac
- Golang 1.17 upgrade
Note
A new flag was added to update.sh that will enable checksum and signature verification on the downloaded updater archive with the goal that at some point in the future, this will be the default. This requires that gpg and sha256sum are available on the system to be able to perform the checks. To start using this, pass -verify when calling the script. If -verify is not explicitly passed, update.sh will function the same as before.
