P2Pool v4.18.1 released with Tari merge mining fix

SChernykh1 has released P2Pool2 version 4.18.13 with a fix for Tari4 merge mining and other improvements:

Tari node v6.0.0 or newer is required now

Changes overview

Fixed Tari merge mining
SideChain: don't make blocks with missing parent/uncles invalid
P2PServer: don't allow private IPs in peer lists
Fixed a crash when running --version and libcurl was built without SSL support

The full list of changes since v4.18 is available on Github5.

Before using the software, you should verify the SHA256 sums with SChernykh’s GPG key6.

The README7 has valuable information about features, defaults, how pool shares work, build instructions and a short mining guide. If you need assistance, read the FAQ8 and join the project’s IRC channels9.

Note that it is strongly recommended to synchronize your system clock before you start mining; create a new wallet and don’t use it for anything else but mining for privacy reasons - all wallet addresses are public on P2Pool!
