Fulcrum 1.2.3

on GitHub

What's new:

This is a maintenance release of Fulcrum. It contains a bug fix and some internal refactoring.

Summary of changes:

• Squashed a bug where if the number of transactions on the chain exceeded 4.29 billion, it might be possible to get data corruption in the database (CompactTXO numbers weren't being serialized to bytes correctly). There are currently ~290 million transactions on mainnet so this bug wouldn't have been triggered any time soon.
• Refactored the internal hash table calculations to be more correct.

Pre-compiled binaries for Linux

I have provided two pre-built binaries for Linux:

• Fulcrum-1.2.3-x86_64-linux.tar.gz, which is compiled on an Ubuntu 18.04 system using Docker.
• Fulcrum-1.2.3-x86_64-linux-ub16.tar.gz, which is compiled on a stock Ubuntu 16.04 system (using Docker) but with g++ 7.3.0 installed from this ppa source: ppa:jonathonf/gcc-7.3 & ppa:jonathonf/gcc

Both of the above binaries contain Qt5Core and Qt5Network from Qt 5.14.2 statically linked. They still requires libz2, libstd++, and the right libc version as dynamic libs on your system (but those are usually present if you are on a recent system).

If the first binary fails, try the second one (-ub16), which should work on older systems, hopefully.

Pre-compiled binaries for Windows

• Fulcrum-1.2.3-win64.zip - Pre-built, statically linked Windows version.
  • It should "just work" on any Windows 7 or above 64-bit system.
  • Includes is a statically-linked Fulcrum.exe, built with Qt 5.14.2 and gcc 7.5.0.
  • Additionally, FulcrumAdmin.exe is included which is the python script, but made into a onefile .exe using PyInstaller.

See the .asc files at the bottom for signatures; my gpg public key can be obtained here: https://github.com/Electron-Cash/keys-n-hashes/blob/master/pubkeys/calinkey.txt

Binary builds for macOS coming soon -- Until then you can always build from source!
