zcashd 5.9.0 is a upkeep launch that updates dependencies and units a brand new end-of-service peak to make sure continuity of providers. (Finish-of-service info is obtainable right here.) All customers are inspired to improve instantly.
Essentially the most notable change is that the license documentation has been up to date to account for the `orchard` crate now being licensed below “MIT OR Apache-2.0.”
Platform Assist
- Debian 11 (Bookworm) is now a Tier 1 platform.
- Intel macOS shall be formally downgraded to a Tier 3 platform within the subsequent launch. Beforehand it has informally been at each Tier 1 (as a result of builds and exams had been run in CI) and Tier 3 (as a result of no packages had been offered). Nonetheless, we’re at present unable to replace the Clang and Rust compilers on account of there being no Clang launch constructed for Intel macOS from LLVM 16 onwards. Mixed with the truth that the Intel Macbook was discontinued in 2021, this choice means that we’ll not be constructing `zcashd` natively on Intel macOS in CI for testing functions. We won’t be eradicating construct system help (so builds should still perform, and group patches to repair points are welcomed).
