new release: Gridcoin version 3.5.9.3 (not mandatory)

update:

• version 3.5.9.4 is available now!

original article:

Users are already reporting bugs in this 3.5.9.3 version:

• see here ("Getting 0 CPIDS in NN GUI and instant crash when click on sync.") and other reports there
• the fix seems: 
•   1. exit Gridcoin wallet (+also use the opportunity for a !backup)
•   2. create a folder in the NeuralNetwork folder called 'CPIDS' and 
•   3. try the command "execute syncdpor2" from your debug menu

It seems there will be soon another version:

• Rob: "Thanks guys, we (the developers) were in the chatroom for 8 hours today debugging this and somehow, the create folder code for the first run was probably backed out.  Ill take a look at it in the morning. Hopefully we will still have a superblock overnight."

For Windows users specifically:        

• the new Windows installer 3.5.9.3 is soon downloadable from here,
• or you can update from within your Windows client

All other users:        

• 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 and changelog):    

• Fix neural network inability to stake superblocks
• Require superblocks to be populated with more than half of the whitelisted projects (see e.g. recent case with a superblock that had only 4% of the whitelisted BOINC projects included)
• Add subfolders to Neural Network

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 when you install this new 3.5.9.3

Please tell us when you experience problems!
