Dash Platform v1.6.1 - mandatory update!

[splawik21]

There is a mandatory update of the Platform.
Please update your Evonodes to the version 1.6.1

https://github.com/dashpay/platform/releases/tag/v1.6.1

Version 1.6.2 is out as well.
It is a required upgrade if you are on older intel CPUs (Ivy bridge or older). We also recommend upgrading as it fixes a SSL certificate issue. However if you recently manually fixed the SSL certificate issue, or recently started your node and/or are sure your SSL certificate will not expire in the next month there is then no need to upgrade. If you are not sure, just upgrade.Quick cheatsheet:AMD64/x86 (linux):
wget https://github.com/dashpay/platform/releases/download/v1.6.2/dashmate_1.6.2.afe982a10-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ./dashmate_1.6.2.afe982a10-1_amd64.deb
dashmate stop --platform
dashmate update
dashmate start --platform

ARM64 (linux):

wget https://github.com/dashpay/platform/releases/download/v1.6.2/dashmate_1.6.2.afe982a10-1_arm64.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ./dashmate_1.6.2.afe982a10-1_arm64.deb

I see no code differences from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1

The only change in 47 files is the version text string.

version = "1.6.0"
version = "1.6.1"

Why this change is mandatory?

That is correct, the build system failed with v1.6.0, so we went with v1.6.1, but the network was upgrading from v1.5.
