Fixes

• Windows: Fixed Gupax crashing on certain CPU-based graphics (integrated + basic drivers)
• P2Pool/XMRig: Fixed parsing of localhost into 127.0.0.1

v1.1.1

Updates

• Remote Nodes: Replaced [Community Monero Nodes] with known ZMQ-enabled Remote Nodes. List is sourced from this daily-updated list based off uptime. This should fix most P2Pool connection related issues.
• P2Pool: Added warning in [P2Pool Simple] tab about privacy/practical downsides when using remote nodes; Hyperlinks to Running a Local Monero Node.

Fixes

• Ping: Fixed ping end lag; Remote node pings are as fast as the slowest ping instead of always taking 10 seconds flat
• UI: Top/Bottom bars are smaller, fixes some UI overflowing or being cramped

Bundled Versions

• P2Pool v3.0
• XMRig v6.18.1
