(Release Date: Sept 16, 2022) Repository: Qortal/Brooklyn · Tag: 3.0.1 · Released by: Crowetic

This release is packed with 'Torchie' that is built for the upcoming memPoW release of Qortal that will eventually be built into consensus.

It is also a fUll GUI version, built for the QORTectors.

Please NOTE - due to the tremendous amount of work that went into the customization on the 'pi' user, the decision was made to leave it as 'pi' for this release. You may have noticed the headless version has a 'qortal' user.

For this release, the username/password defaults are:

Username - pi Password - dmax911e

Just like the previous NXT releases, etc… In the future I may re-work it so that the user will be 'qortal' like it is on the headless, but there are a TON of customisations to the pi account, so leaving it for now.

This version is FULL 64bit (ARM64) just like its headless predecessor, therefore supports ARRR.

All of the details from the headless release below regarding the kernel and its improvements, also apply to this release.

This release also includes a customised GUI done by HFactor, and some added modifications by crowetic and Scare Crowe for ease of use and performance and debugging.

*The 16GB version does NOT include the Qortal db or the auto-start feature - The 16GB version comes with a link on the desktop to Start the Qortal Core, simply double-click it and click 'run'. If you WOULD like to enable the auto-start, you can simply use crontab -e and remove the '#' in front of the line that says @reboot ./start-qortal-at-boot.sh - this will start the core in the background just like the QORTector version does. You can also use the 'startup applications' tool to create a startup method that will start with the GUI, but this will only work if you have a monitor attached.

*The 32GB version DOES include a copy of the Qortal db, and auto-start feature - Remember, that with the 32GB version the Qortal Core STARTS AUTOMATICALLY and RUNS IN THE BACKGROUND. This means you do NOT have to start the Qortal Core, you simply start the device and the Qortal Core starts automatically.

This release has been tested on both 4GB and 8GB Raspberry Pi devices, and is currently undergoing more in-depth testing of the memPoW on the 4GB pi. Results of the longer testing of the memPoW on the 4GB pi will be made available to the Qortal community upon completion.
