Thank you MR1
As the community Manager I will be posting updates here as they come in. There are some items in the new client build from James I am excited about. The new client build (1.4.5.0) will be up on github this afternoon. Until then here's a brief summary of some of the changes. A more detailed post will be forthcoming including network configuration instructions.
We have integrated several ways for the client to connect with a network. Users can connect with built-in or external Tor for privacy, clear net (for users behind government firewalls like China) or combinations thereof for infrastructure and seed nodes. We have also ensured the client will be supported on operating systems back to Windows XP, which can run on a vast array of hardware. It can also be built on raspbian, which is supported by ultra-inexpensive computers and embedded devices. Such availability means BRK will have a much wider possible user base.
More details on fixes and additions Fork Changes occur on 11/25 at midnight PST1. Breakout now has a clear net option (built-in tor was the only previous option). Any node will be able to be a tor-clearnet bridge, and can connect to both networks or either exclusively. This is mostly to enable users behind government firewalls (e.g. China) to connect to the network.
2. Tor has been updated to the latest version, fixing some bugs in the previous. This is already available for download as an rPi release, but will now go into all clients.
3. Updated the Qt building process, to make full use of built-in libcrypto++, making compilation of the Qt possible by Joe Average user on linux. I will make an Ubuntu 16 release as well.
4. Fixed card staking. This was a tough bug and required about 3 times as much testing as debugging. But I think it is fixed. Cards should stake very easily now.
5. Corrected BRK inflation to 5% from 2.5%. This should help the value of BRX without a significant impact on BRK.
6. Checkpoints, and standard maintenance.
7. Stake splitting much more optimized for the staker.
