Golem Network Introduces 0.12.1 Patch Release, Addressing Critical Bug Fixes and Enhancing User Experience
Golem Network, the open-source, decentralized computing platform, is thrilled to announce the launch of version 0.12.1. This highly anticipated patch release focuses on resolving significant bug fixes and implementing key improvements to provide users with a more stable and seamless experience.
The decision to release version 0.12.1 stems from the accumulation of a substantial number of bug reports that were impacting both external and internal users. Notably, a memory leak issue caused inconvenience for users, particularly affecting the functionality of the dapp-portal. While addressing this memory leak was not the top priority for users, we understand the importance of resolving any hindrances to ensure a smooth user experience.
The 0.12.1 release introduces several crucial changes that enhance the platform

• Golem VPN Issue Fix: We have successfully addressed an issue with the Golem VPN, eradicating the problem of the entire virtual network shutting down when a single node was removed.
These changes were crucial bug fixes aimed at ensuring the proper functioning of the affected features. Reports of these issues originated from both external users and our internal team, highlighting the necessity of addressing them to provide a more reliable and seamless user experience. Furthermore, some of the implemented fixes pave the way for investigating related issues and opening up possibilities for further enhancements.
