π New release: Ergo protocol reference client 6.0.0-RC4 (v6.0.0-RC4)
This version is able to sync with the mainnet. For that, a couple of fixes done in 6.0.0 candidate:
* treeVersion <= activatedVersion checked since 5.0 activation only (as before there were some mainnet transactions violated the rule)
* initialization of some values in object SOption made lazy (to avoid null values somehow appearing in the node 6.0)
Check it out here: https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/releases/tag/v6.0.0-RC4
π New release: Ergo protocol reference client 6.0.0-RC3 (v6.0.0-RC3)
This 6.0 release candidate is still suitable for public and private 6.0 testnets only!
In this release:
* Sigma dependency updated to https://github.com/ergoplatform/sigmastate-interpreter/pull/1040/commits/16590c5463b6f601ee115d6f91f5e260527439ff
