v1.3.2
6c1b21d

NOTE:
If you have an existing pre-v1.3.1 then the first start-up of v1.3.2 will "reshape" your database.
This can take some time, varying from about 30 seconds with high-powered desktops to even 30 minutes with low-powered devices or older computers.

If you look at your log files (e.g. log.txt.1), database reshaping occurs when you will see this line:
2020-08-12 16:57:38 INFO Controller:308 - Starting repository
and is finished when this line appears (which should be next):
2020-08-12 16:59:38 INFO HSQLDBDatabaseUpdates:660 - HSQLDB repository updated to version 23

If you interrupt this process, there is a chance your database will end up corrupt.

UPDATING (Windows users)
Because of the change to the EXE wrapper that starts Qortal on Windows machines, it is not enough to simply replace the JAR, you actually need to download and run the latest installer (below).

Changes in this release:

  • The EXE wrapper provided by the Windows installer run starts Java JVM in 'server' context, allowing use of more than 256MB!
  • Auto-updates after v1.3.2 will not create a database backup unless enabled in settings
  • HSQLDB CHECKPOINT commands added between each DB-reshape statement to reduce risk of failure
  • Start-up blockchain validity checking restricted to top 1440 blocks (for now) for faster start-up
  • Improved HSQLDB query relating to fetching AT state data
  • More efficient CIYAM AT v1.3.7 with reduced byte-array copying and other improvements

db-bootstrap-58239.zip

This is a 'bootstrap' database containing blockchain up to block height 58239.
This is for new installations to avoid the time/hassle of synchronizing your node from scratch.
WARNING: If you have any active, or on-going, trades then these will be lost if you replace your DB!
It has no minting accounts added, so if you have a minting account you need to re-add this via UI or API.
It has an initial list of various community-run peers to help connect your node to the network.

The ZIP file contains:

  • db/blockchain.data (1.4GB)
  • db/blockchain.properties (99B)
  • db/blockchain.script (33K)

For Windows users, unpack into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Qortal\ folder.
For other users, unpack while in the same folder as qortal.jar.
In both cases, you should end up with a db folder with the actual files inside.
