2016-10-10
All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release.
This release contains bugfixes and improvements to all of the decred
tools (dcrd, dcrwallet, gominer, Copay, and Paymetheus). A new
unified database for tickets and blocks has been added to dcrd. This
provides significant performance and reliability improvements.
gominer now supports NVIDIA GPUs using CUDA. gominer can now monitor
temperatures and fan speeds on supported AMD or NVIDIA GPUs. The dcrd
codebase has been modified to track the upstream btcd project more
closely, allowing for easier copying of code between the two projects.
Additional rpc tests have been added to dcrwallet (RFP-10). All
changes since the last release are listed below.
To install Paymetheus download and run either
Paymetheus 64bit or
Paymetheus 32bit
depending on your version of Windows.
To install a the local Copay GUI download and run
Copay OSX
or
Copay Linux.
To install the command line tools, please see
dcrinstaller.
See manifest-v0.5.0.txt, manifest-gominer-v0.5.0.txt,
manifest-paymetheus-v0.5.0.txt, and manifest-copay-0.5.0.txt,
manifest--dcrinstaller-v0.5.0.txt for sha256 sums and the associated
.asc files to confirm those shas.
See README.md for more info on
verifying the files.

Notes
The new database will require a full download of the blockchain. Due
to the speed improvements it will be much quicker than previous
downloads but it is important to be aware that your dcrd will be
unavailable for other operations while this happens.
