v1.253.1

EP172 Release v1.253.1 with adjusted TARGET_TICK_DURATION

• Decreased TARGET_TICK_DURATION from 3000 to 1000 to reflect actual tick time. This ensures enough tick storage space for the epoch.
• Nodes can be restarted with the new version from a snapshot (press F8 to create a manual Snapshot).
• If you have custom code running make sure this change does not break it.

v1.253.0

EP172 Release v1.253.0 with initial tick 30655000 (mandatory non-seamless update)

• add delay function in QUtil to slow down ticking
• increase target tick time to 3s
• bug fixes for Nostromo

v1.252.0

EP171 Release v1.252.0 with initial tick 30220000 (mandatory non-seamless update)

• Mining: speed up score function, increase number of ticks to 600, lower solution threshold by 2 (to 321)
• External mining: support 64bit (runs in parallel with old 32bit nonce)
• QPI: add DateAndTime struct with basic functionality
• IPO of NOSTROMO (if proposal accepted)

v1.251.0

EP170 Release v1.251.0 with initial tick 29615000 (mandatory non-seamless update)

• increase SOLUTION_THRESHOLD_DEFAULT to 323
• IPO of contract QSwap (if proposal accepted)

• fix minor bugs and add checks (contract state size, refresh peers logic, ...)

v1.248.0

EP167 Release v1.248.0 with initial tick 28025000 (mandatory non-seamless update)

• new mining algorithm
• add support for full xmr mining in specific time window
