Daedalus 11.5.0 Fixes Mithril Sync on Cardano

Dem release Daedalus 11.5.0 on October 14, to solve one Mithril synchronization bug wey fit stop Cardano full-node wallet from catching up with the network. This release continue development under Se7en Labs, wey dey lead the wallet roadmap and dey run im support services.

Mithril Fix Target Incomplete Blockchain Data

The bug concern the most recent chunk of blockchain data wey dey store for the user computer. During partial Mithril synchronization, that chunk fit remain incomplete, make the node begin reject blocks or stop for the “Replaying ledger” stage.

Version 11.5.0 correct how dem dey handle that local data to stop gaps from showing during synchronization.

The feature wey dem touch enter Daedalus 11.1.0 for July. Partial Mithril synchronization dey allow existing installations wey don fall far behind the network to download the missing blockchain range without reinstalling the wallet.

Daedalus Keep Cardano Validation Local

Daedalus na desktop wallet for Windows, macOS, and Linux wey dey run Cardano node for the user computer. E dey store blockchain data local and e allow users manage wallets, send ADA, and delegate to stake pools.

For holders wey keep ADA inside Daedalus but no dey open am often, to come back to the application fit involve download and process plenty backlog of network activity.

Mithril dey shorten that process through cryptographically certified snapshots. Existing installations fit use partial synchronization to download missing data instead of to process every missed block one by one, so e preserve the local-node setup while e reduce the work wey need to catch up.

Linux Packages and Recovery Tools Expand

Linux users go get native packages for Debian, RPM-based distributions, Arch, and NixOS. The background watchdog self go become the operating-system entry point wey dey manage the application process hierarchy.

For Windows, the release fix one problem wey non-English characters inside computer name fit stop the node from starting or break synchronization with broken-pipe error. The bundled cardano-node don update to version 11.1.3.

New Copy button go move the complete diagnostic report enter clipboard so person fit include am for support request. The diagnostics dialog self provide Mithril Sync option. After confirmation, e go stop the node, restore blockchain data from Mithril snapshot, and restart the node, with progress and cancellation controls.

The release notes recommend make everybody upgrade all Daedalus installations. For users wey the synchronization bug don already touch, upgrade and recover chain data still be separate steps: version 11.5.0 go stop new gaps from showing, but incomplete local database still need repair or another synchronization.
