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 data is offered right here.) All customers are inspired to improve instantly.
Probably the most notable change is that the license documentation has been up to date to account for the `orchard` crate now being licensed beneath “MIT OR Apache-2.0.”
Platform Help
– 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 assessments had been run in CI) and Tier 3 (as a result of no packages had been supplied). Nonetheless, we’re presently unable to replace the Clang and Rust compilers resulting from 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 now not be constructing `zcashd` natively on Intel macOS in CI for testing functions. We is not going to be eradicating construct system assist (so builds should operate, and neighborhood patches to repair points are welcomed).
