The Burst Apps Team is currently the custodian of the Burst Reference Software, aka Burst Core, aka BRS. Swiftly moving in to fill the void left from the departure of the PoC Consortium. BRS is programmed in Java, enabling it to be run on any platform. This is the software that is at the center of the Burst network. Running this software, with your ports open to the outside world, is running a “full node”. Running a full node helps secure and distribute the network.

Enhancements: (@Brabantian)

fat block forging for specific situations (emergency/spam, sponsored mass-airdrops) Wallet has a 400 block TTL (time-to-live) in this mode

will talk only to 2.2.6 or later – only these versions provide a full-scale spam protection in both (push & pull) UT transfer modes (CIP17). Please get rid of pre-2.2.6 versions which can be abused for spam reflection attacks.

clean peer from peers list if it cannot be fed UTs (peer probably went offline). Keeps up a healthy peers list. (@rico666)

Fixes:

Reward recipient assignment in UI should work now (fix-fix from blankey1337)

Test API “This request is only accepted using POST!” Fix (@Brabantian)

Burst Reference Software 2.0.4

Released April 9, 2018

This release is the foundation of the future Burst. It offers better performance, stability and security compared to any release so far. It has some nice features like UPnP, JOOQ (for any database backend – via DB manager), snappier UI, improved market etc.

We also cut some things away to keep it slim (DB dumps really better than Quicksync) and slick.

Notable changes to 2.0.3 are:

bugfixes in solo mining capability

async/sync repairs for frontend (due to new jQuery)

mariaDB/H2 bootstrap handling in burst.sh (Unix)

DB robustness (ensuring InnoDB)
