dcrstakepool release 1.5.0 contains all development work completed since v1.2.0 (September 2019). Since then, 7 contributors have produced and merged 37 pull requests. Changes include minor GUI enhancements, improved HTTP request logging, some streamlining of existing code, and various bug-fixes.
dcrstakepool 1.5.0 requires dcrd/dcrwallet 1.5.0 or later.
All of the following config items were removed by #546 as they were deprecated in the previous dcrstakepool release.
These config items must be removed from dcrstakepool.conf.
dcrstakepool will not start if these config items are set.
| Config | Reason |
|---|---|
wallethosts, walletusers, walletpasswords and walletcerts |
dcrstakepool no longer contacts dcrwallet directly. All comms are now routed through stakepoold. |
enablestakepoold |
stakepoold is always required. dcrstakepool cannot function without it. |
maxvotedage |
The last N voted tickets are now displayed rather than tickets which voted in the last N days. |
minservers |
This value is now hard-coded. Mainnet requires at least two back-end servers, testnet and simnet only need one. |
datadir |
This value was unused. dcrstakepool does not write any data to disk. |
It is recommended to remove these config items from dcrstakepool.conf and stakepoold.conf.
dcrstakepool and stakepoold will ignore these config items and log a warning if they are set.
They will be removed completely in the next release.
| Config | PR | Reason |
|---|---|---|
Profile, CPUProfile and memprofile |
#545 | These config items were not used at all by dcrstakepool |
No new config items have been added in 1.5.0.
