A full-node bitcoin implementation written in Go
============================================================================
Changes in 0.12.0 (Fri Nov 20 2015)
- Protocol and network related changes:
- Add a new checkpoint at block height 382320 (#555)
- Implement BIP0065 which includes support for version 4 blocks, a new
consensus opcode (OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY) that enforces transaction
lock times, and a double-threshold switchover mechanism (#535, #459,
#455)
- Implement BIP0111 which provides a new bloom filter service flag and
hence provides support for protocol version 70011 (#499)
- Add a new parameter --nopeerbloomfilters to allow disabling bloom
filter support (#499)
- Reject non-canonically encoded variable length integers (#507)
- Add mainnet peer discovery DNS seed (seed.bitcoin.jonasschnelli.ch)
(#496)
- Correct reconnect handling for persistent peers (#463, #464)
- Ignore requests for block headers if not fully synced (#444)
- Add CLI support for specifying the zone id on IPv6 addresses (#538)
- Fix a couple of issue where the initial block sync could stall (#518,
#229, #486)
- Fix an issue which prevented the --onion option from working as
intended (#446)
- Transaction relay (memory pool) changes:
- Require transactions to only include signatures encoded with the
canonical 'low-s' encoding (#512)
- Add a new parameter --minrelaytxfee to allow the minimum transaction
fee in BTC/kB to be overridden (#520)
- Retain memory pool transactions when they redeem another one that is
removed when a block is accepted (#539)
- Do not send reject messages for a transaction if it is valid but
causes an orphan transaction which depends on it to be determined
as invalid (#546)
- Refrain from attempting to add orphans to the memory pool multiple
times when the transaction they redeem is added (#551)
- Modify minimum transaction fee calculations to scale based on bytes
instead of full kilobyte boundaries (#521, #537)
- Implement signature cache:
- Provides a limited memory cache of validated signatures which is a
huge optimization when verifying blocks for transactions that are
already in the memory pool (#506)
- Add a new parameter '--sigcachemaxsize' which allows the size of the
new cache to be manually changed if desired (#506)
- Mining support changes:
- Notify getblocktemplate long polling clients when a block is pushed
via submitblock (#488)
- Speed up getblocktemplate by making use of the new signature cache
(#506)
- RPC changes:
- Implement getmempoolinfo command (#453)
- Implement getblockheader command (#461)
- Modify createrawtransaction command to accept a new optional parameter
'locktime' (#529)
- Modify listunspent result to include the 'spendable' field (#440)
- Modify getinfo command to include 'errors' field (#511)
- Add timestamps to blockconnected and blockdisconnected notifications
(#450)
- Several modifications to searchrawtranscations command:
- Accept a new optional parameter 'vinextra' which causes the results
to include information about the outputs referenced by a transaction
inputs (#485, #487)
- Skip entries in the mempool too (#495)
- Accept a new optional parameter 'reverse' to return the results in
reverse order (most recent to oldest) (#497)
- Accept a new optional parameter 'filteraddrs' which causes the
results to only include inputs and outputs which involve the
provided addresses (#516)
- Change the notification order to notify clients about mined
transactions (recvtx, redeemingtx) before the blockconnected
notification (#449)
- Update verifymessage RPC to use the standard algorithm so it is
compatible with other implementations (#515)
- Improve ping statistics by pinging on an interval (#517)
- Websocket changes:
- Implement session command which returns a per-session unique id (#500,
#503)
- btcctl utility changes:
- Add getmempoolinfo command (#453)
- Add getblockheader command (#461)
- Add getwalletinfo command (#471)
- Notable developer-related package changes:
- Introduce a new peer package which acts a common base for creating and
concurrently managing bitcoin network peers (#445)
- Various cleanup of the new peer package (#528, #531, #524, #534,
#549)
- Blocks heights now consistently use int32 everywhere (#481)
- The BlockHeader type in the wire package now provides the BtcDecode
and BtcEncode methods (#467)
- Update wire package to recognize BIP0064 (getutxo) service bit (#489)
- Export LockTimeThreshold constant from txscript package (#454)
- Export MaxDataCarrierSize constant from txscript package (#466)
- Provide new IsUnspendable function from the txscript package (#478)
- Export variable length string functions from the wire package (#514)
- Export DNS Seeds for each network from the chaincfg package (#544)
- Preliminary work towards separating the memory pool into a separate
package (#525, #548)
- Misc changes:
- Various documentation updates (#442, #462, #465, #460, #470, #473,
#505, #530, #545)
- Add installation instructions for gentoo (#542)
- Ensure an error is shown if OS limits can't be set at startup (#498)
- Tighten the standardness checks for multisig scripts (#526)
- Test coverage improvement (#468, #494, #527, #543, #550)
- Several optimizations (#457, #474, #475, #476, #508, #509)
- Minor code cleanup and refactoring (#472, #479, #482, #519, #540)
