This is a hotfix release that fixes a regression in memory usage during
|
||||||
|
Initial Block Download. The regression was indirectly caused by a change
|
||||||
|
to prioritize downloading headers (PR #6231), introduced in release 5.3.1.
|
||||||
|
It caused memory usage for new nodes to spike to roughly 11 GiB about an
|
||||||
|
hour after starting Initial Block Download.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The issue fixed by this release does not affect nodes that start from
|
||||||
|
a fully synced chain, or that had sufficient memory available to get
|
||||||
|
past the memory usage spike.
