new Gridcoin version: 3.5.9.6 for WINDOWS users (not mandatory, but IMPORTANT)

24h after 3.5.9.5 there is now:

• Gridcoin version 3.5.9.6 ready! 
• dev: "It looks like we may finally see some improvement with the current  superblock situation:  The popular hash of d996 is gaining popularity  quickly (execute neuralreport).  We will probably stake one within a few  hours.    All 24 projects are in d996, and the average magnitude is 44 (IE within  range) and has an average project RAC of about 125000, so I see no  reason for it to get rejected."

For Windows users specifically:              

• the new Windows installer 3.5.9.6 is soon downloadable from here,
• or you can update from within your Windows client

All other users (Linux, Mac, ...):              

• can treat this version as leisure for now. It is specifically for producing a superblock only!
• can find the source code here OR: 
• upgrade from their used location (e.g. package managers, once the responsible person for those package managers made the new version available)

Changes in this version are (more detailed here, changelog and commit 1, 2):

• Neural Network enhancement to help stake current superblock: use UTC time instead of local time when determining file mirror filename suffix.

Keep in mind this is NOT a mandatory release:

•     the last mandatory was: version 3.5.8.8 (released on 2017 April 2)
• BUT... if you're running WINDOWS, it would help us a lot when you install this new 3.5.9.6!

Please tell us when you experience problems!
