Fulcrum 1.2.5

on GitHub

What's new:

This a bugfix release of Fulcrum. It is recommended that all admins upgrade to this version at their earliest convenience.

Summary of changes:

• Bug fix - If the system locale was set to something that would format numbers with a comma , for decimal "points" (such as de_DE), the JSON output of the application would be affected and would produce incorrect JSON.
  • This bug was introduced in Fulcrum v1.2.1 as a result of switching JSON serializer backends, but has now been fixed.
  • Most of the external RPC calls don't output floats to clients, fortunately, so this bug was mostly visible only as a JSON bug in the FulcrumAdmin script. Thanks to Georg Englemann for finding this bug and reporting it!
• Bug fix: Added sending the Host: header to bitcoind. See issues: #27 & #28
• New - Fulcrum now supports non-RSA (in addition to the previous RSA) SSL private keys on an experimental basis. Keys types such as DSA, Elliptic Curve, and Diffie-Hellman should work, however they are not fully tested and there are limitations to which key formats the Qt QSsl socket layer supports. YMMV. Addresses #27 .
• Added code to intelligently suppress excess log output caused by Mist Miner clients. Your logs should no longer grow to 100's of megabytes per day with excess "Broadcast failed" messages.
• Compile fix for 32-bit platforms (not currently officially supported -- but theoretically should work).
• Misc. internal improvements and refactoring of the code.

Pre-compiled binaries for Linux

I have provided two pre-built binaries for Linux:

• Fulcrum-1.2.5-x86_64-linux.tar.gz, which is compiled on an Ubuntu 18.04 system using Docker.
• Fulcrum-1.2.5-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-1.2.5-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!
