GRIDNET Core 1.6.8 delivers significant refinements to memory pool management, version reporting, and mobile application integration. This release focuses on enhancing transaction handling efficiency across the network while providing operators with improved visibility into version compatibility. As with all GRIDNET development, every modification has been implemented and tested live on YouTube, maintaining our commitment to complete development transparency since 2017.
Critical Highlights
- Enhanced memory pool management with asynchronous pro-active clean-up
- Advanced version reporting through improved
versionGridScript command - Complete mobile app compatibility with latest protocol standards
- Improved transaction processing across potential network forks
- Enhanced network version discovery and reporting
New chain -forks Command
