This release contains 5 months' worth of performance, reward fairness, and total revenue improvements. Some notable changes:
- P2pool was unable to consistently create full blocks, and would include only about 50% of the available transactions on average. This has been fixed, and p2pool is now capable of creating 999 kB or 3999 kWU blocks consistently.
- Orphan rates have been lowered by at least 5% due to changes in the rules for which block to build off of.
- RAM usage has been reduced by about 75%.
- CPU usage has been reduced as well.
