2.1.1

Bad people are bad.

This release is mostly because we had some infected binaries published on GitHub for version 2.1.0. These were taken down as soon as they were discovered and all accounts that could have published these were either disabled or had their passwords updated. To help people using the MintCoin wallet be sure that they are using a clean version, we are releasing 2.1.1.

There are only two real changes to the code, both minor:

  • We work better with the en_DK local, which provides ISO 8601 formatting for dates & times.

  • A few warnings for potential problems spotted by the most recent gcc compiler version were fixed.

2.1.0

Welcome back, MintCoin!

This is the first release of MintCoin in more than 2 years. The primary focus has getting the code working on modern systems, as well as fixing the most painful user issues.

  • Peers updated from DNS
    MintcoinCommunity#43

    No longer will you have to give hints to the wallet so it can know where to connect by setting addnode= in your MintCoin.conf. An initial set of peers is pulled from the DNS.

    Note: We are looking for more people to run a DNS server. Scripts to set this up are in the MintCoin-DNS-lookup-server repository.

  • Fix for out-of-memory in Windows 32-bit wallet
    Building the Qt wallet for Windows to be "large address aware" fixes the crashing that many Windows users experience.

  • Display when the next coin will be available for minting as a tooltip
    MintcoinCommunity#57

  • Support for ARM CPU
    MintcoinCommunity#44

    The wallet can run on single-board computers (SBC) if they have enough RAM (about 2 gigabyte).

  • Scary warnings fixed
    MintcoinCommunity#61 MintcoinCommunity#60 MintcoinCommunity#59

  • Build fixes
    We have a ton of fixes for Linux (both Debian-based and Fedora distributions), Windows, and macOS builds.

  • Lots of other bug fixes
    There have been quite a few other small fixes and documentation changes.
