Breaking Changes

• You must update your config.json and change the value of the manager property inside the banning element. Old: "manager": "integrated", new "manager": "Integrated" (the old value was lower-case, the new value is capitalized)

Changes

• Completely removed the built-in 0.1% Dev-Donation
• Improved Ethereum Sync status reporting
• Implement Ethereum Stratum Protocol v1 (both Ethereum Stratum Protocol Versions are supported on the same port simultaneously)
• Support for Raptoreum (RTM)
• Added support for TLS auto detection. In effect it is now possible to support both SSL (TLS) and non-SSL connection on the same port and the pool will auto-detect incoming SSL connections. (Stratum Port Config Option: tlsAuto: true)
• Added JSON Schema for config.json and load-time-validation for improved error reporting. To enable editor support add the following after the first "{" in your config.json: "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oliverw/miningcore/master/src/Miningcore/config.schema.json", as shown here.
• Added build-scripts for Linux and Windows
• Implemented new hash algorithms:
  • Ghostrider
  • Heavyhash
  • HMQ17
  • Sha256Csm
  • X16R V2
• Implemented Cryptonight hash algorithms and their respective sub-variants:
  • Argon
  • Cryptonight Heavy
  • Cryptonight Lite
  • Cryptonight Pico
• Upgraded librandomx to v1.1.10
• Extended Coin metadata support which is also exposed by the API
  • Website
  • Twitter
  • Discord
  • Telegram
• Consolidate timestamp column types to timestamptz in database schema to be compatible with npgsql 6.0 and higher
• Update for npgsql 6.0 legacy timestamps (without time zone) with automatic runtime detection

Recommended but not required Database Migrations

These migrations are only meant for existing pools. You don't have to apply them when setting up a new pool as those changes are already applied to the initial database schema.
