It has been tested in git for almost half a year. This RC is the first binary release that contains the functionality.

How to enable it is still the same as mentioned in the 0.11 release notes: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.11.0/doc/release-notes.md#block-file-pruning Wladimir _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
