This software update is a point-release to change the transaction selection logic in the default miner to prioritize by fee instead of nonce sequence. This release's chainstate directory is compatible with chainstate directories from 2.0.11.2.0.
Added
- The node will enforce a soft deadline for mining a block, so that a node operator can control how frequently their node attempts to mine a block regardless of how congested the mempool is. The timeout parameters are controlled in the [miner] section of the node's config file (#2823).
Changed
- Prioritize transaction inclusion in the mempool by transaction fee (#2823).
