Tari Base Node v0.8.7 Released

Version 0.8.7 of Tari Base Node and related executables has been released. This is minor release with many fixes. Rewinding and reorging got a bit of attention with allowing to reorg past the pruning horizon, and also a fix to handle reorgs larger than 1000 blocks. These scenarios may be unlikely in mainnet when it’s released, but it is still fairly easy to test and confirm these two scenarios in testnet.

Work is continuing on Tari Script and you can follow the pull requests to the tari-script branch here.
