Notable changes:
- Improve farm locking to avoid json file corruption when the same farm is specified more than once and resized at the same time
- Improve performance of downloading pieces from DSN
- Improve plotting performance in cluster, especially with GPUs, when some farms are slow to write sectors to disk
- Improvements to object mapping + subspace-gateway for retrieving objects from DSN
Build variants
There are two versions of x86-64 builds for Ubuntu and Windows:
- skylake: for Intel Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer
- x86-64-v2: for older processors since ~2009 and some old VMs
- older processors/VMs are no longer supported by official releases, but can still be compiled manually if desired
- x86-64 container images are built for Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer only
Farmer builds with -rocm suffix are for plotting with AMD GPUs.
