A new block importer tool can parse bitcoind block files and process them, which is faster than streaming them over a network connection. Support for the regtest mode added by the C++ side pull req 2632 makes app development and testing easier by eliminating the need to wait for a block.The release also includes many bug fixes and testing improvements.
