Optional but highly recommended upgrade today. This upgrade will improve your ability to stay in sync with the network and reduce banning of other nodes.
v1.0.4.1
-Ban logic improved to eliminate unintentional banning of peers
-Sync improvements

Important Note:
the bootstrap method used up to this version is no longer the recommended method to initially sync to the network and the blockchain.raw will no longer be published. In its place is a blockchain database snapshot. We recommend re-syncing your node to achieve maximum results one of the following two ways:
Slow:
Delete the lmdb directory (~/.solo on Linux) (C:\ProgramData\solo\ on Windows) restart solod and let it sync from 0. This was performed on multiple nodes and took several hours, most had to restart the daemon a couple times. Your mileage will vary depending on factors such as connection and hardware. We are still working to improve a full blockchain sync.
Fast:
Delete the existing database and import the snapshot.
Windows importing:
Download
https://minesolo.com/release/snapshot.zipRemove contents of C:\ProgramData\solo\ extract contents of snapshot.zip to the same directory.
Linux import:
cd ~ && rm -Rf ~/.solo && mkdir .solo && cd .solo && wget
https://minesolo.com/release/snapshot.tar.gz && tar xfv snapshot.tar.gz
Note that if this is your first time to sync or you use a custom path you will not have these directories. Launching solod will create them or they can be created manually. Also, for Windows users C:\ProgramData\ is a hidden folder by default, it can be accessed by showing hidden folders or by typing C:\ProgramData\solo\ into the address line of file explorer or the run command (windows key + r).
