I'm going to be uploading the first stage of updates if anyone wants to test them out. I've not built it for Windows yet, but if anyone wants it, just let me know and I'll whip one up quick. If you can compile yourself, the new Alpha Github Repo is located here:
https://github.com/DigiCubeCrypto/DigiCube-DevelopmentChangesWay too many to start listing. The main thing of note for this release is a major change to the way databases work. I have upgraded it to use leveldb for some more changes we have planned in the coming days. I am only posting this version so people can be ready with the new blockchain database system for the next updates.
This is a complete overhaul of the base code with many changes and many, many rewritten lines. This means that the blockchain database will be handled differently, more efficiently (I hope).
When using this wallet for the first time,
you must sync from block 1. However, you do not need to remove any files at all,
it will not overwrite the current blockchain if you want to go back to the old wallet. Both the new and the current versions of the blockchain will be stored in the same folder and use the same wallet.dat. If you have any issues, try renaming wallet.dat to something else until you are fully synced, then close the wallet and rename the wallet with funds on it to wallet.dat
Please for windows 32bit.x86, thank you.
