gemini-3c-2023-mar-07

Main changes

Small update, fixes command for chain purging on the node and makes DSN networking a bit more conservative, hopefully improving situation with software causing networking issues for some users.

Known issues

Execution implementation in this release is incompatible with previous versions of Gemini 3c, so only farming works here.

gemini-3c-2023-feb-26

Main changes

This snapshot further significantly improves DSN reliability and performance.
There are also UX improvements on farmer CLI side:output should contain more useful information and be a bit easier to read as well.

This update should allow most users to plot and farm on Gemini 3c successfully.

Known issues

Execution implementation in this release is incompatible with previous versions of Gemini 3c, so only farming works here.

gemini-3c-2023-feb-20

Main changes

This snapshot primarily addresses DSN side. Specifically it should significantly improve handing of provider announcements by constraining sender to make sure receiver had enough time to process it.

As the result this shouldn't impact plotting performance quite as much, should reduce CPU usage as well as reduce number of warnings of various kind originating from networking issues.

Overall should be a big improvement to farming experience on Gemini 3c.

Known issues

Execution implementation in this release is incompatible with previous versions of Gemini 3c, so only farming works here.

gemini-3c-2023-feb-02

Main changes

On DSN side we have significantly improved performance related to announcement and retrieval by having more concurrency, more decoupled internal limits, ensuring to cache more things before giving up under high load, optimizing out some of the database writes that can be derived implicitly as well as resolving or temporarily hiding many of the DSN-related warnings to improve farming experience.

On the node side work continued on resolving farmer's dilemma by implementing new CLI flag that allows to opt-in into initial node sync from DSN rather than archival nodes. More tuning and securing of the implementation is necessary, but we're getting there.
