Version 7.8.0 Released
This release has many improvements around bootstrapping and network usage. It's recommended that everyone upgrade.
Bootstrapping:
- Downloaded blocks were being inappropriately deleted causing them to be downloaded again
- A database lock was being held open too long preventing bootstrap forks from being evicted.
Networking:
- Added UPnP to automatically map ports with routers
- Rebroadcasting blocks to a smaller set of nodes instead of global.
