Notable changes

===============
|
||||
|
||||
Reduce download traffic
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
We have made several changes to reduce the amount of data downloaded by `zcashd`
|
||||
during initial block download (IBD):
|
||||
|
||||
- Significant time and bandwidth is spent in issuing `getheaders` P2P requests.
|
||||
This results in noticeable bandwidth usage due to the large size of Zcash
|
||||
block headers.
|
||||
|
||||
We now eliminate redundant requests in cases where we already know the last
|
||||
header in the message. This optimization is enabled by default, but can be
|
||||
disabled by setting the config option `-no-optimize-getheaders`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Transactions in the mempool are no longer downloaded during IBD (`zcashd` will
|
||||
only request block data).

||||

||||
