Gridcoin version 3.6.0.0 is available!

Keep in mind:

before you upgrade, make a !backup

For Windows users specifically:

the new Windows installer 3.6.0.0 is soon downloadable from here,
or you can update from within your Windows client

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

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, commit 1):

Fix startup crash for new users
Memory allocation fix for syncing from 0
Tray Icon

Keep in mind this is NOT a mandatory release:

the last "real mandatory" was: version 3.5.8.8 (released on 2017 April 2)
but... as always it HELPS us a lot when you run this new 3.6.0.0 version

Please tell us when you experience problems!

e.g. in our bugtracker (forum, reddit, IRC, slack, telegram (can be accessed via IRC also), twitter, ...)

lol made me wake up early as I was up at 6am for something before going back to sleep , all windows nodes updated and Linux machines compiled now just waiting on @caraka for a ppa for the other 2 boxes.. wait there is another to compile too!! Lets see if this fixes things, I hate the " windows only " factor and no NN for Linux. Yes the linux client runs stable and has no issues , headless its a great full node unfortunately limited to how many users can connect before it crashes ( not new users ) I was ok @ 50 users crashes @ 60 I hope this fixes that because Linux I can handle 136 on the same machine awaiting more. I wish we had a port block , then you could run multiple windows nodes under 1 ip ( NAT ) via multiple machines ie: ports " 32760 , 32761 , 32762 , 32764 , 32765 " to get around 50 users per windows machine to support the Neural Network until we get some work on the Linux client and get a mandatory Linux update that includes the Neural Network. :(
At least we have Rino and keeping up on the Debian and Ubuntu install scripts. To me I think a version number change such as v3.5.8.8-g to v3.6-g is reason enough to be mandatory enough to require an upgrade.
