Bitcoin version 0.7.0 is now available for download at:
|
||
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.0/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We recommend that everybody running prior versions of bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt
|
||
|
|
upgrade to this release, except for users running Mac OSX 10.5.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Project source code is hosted at github; you can get
|
||
|
|
source-only tarballs/zipballs directly from there:
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tarball/v0.7.0 # .tar.gz

||
|
|

|
||
|
|
Ubuntu Linux users can use the "Personal Package Archive" (PPA)
|
||
|
|
maintained by Matt Corallo to automatically keep
|
||
|
|
bitcoin up-to-date. Just type
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
|
in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package:
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to Upgrade
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait
|
||
|
|
until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older
|
||
|
|
versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over
|
||
|
|
Code:
|
||
|
|
/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt
|
||
|
|
(on Mac) or
|
||
|
|
Code:
|
||
|
|
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt
|
||
|
|
(on Linux).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you were running on Linux with a version that might have been compiled
|
||
|
|
with a different version of Berkeley DB (for example, if you were using the
|
||
|
|
PPA and are switching to the binary release), then run the old version again
|
||
|
|
with the -detachdb argument and shut it down; if you do not, then the new
|
||
|
|
version will not be able to read the database files and will exit with an error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Incompatible Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Replaced the 'getmemorypool' RPC command with 'getblocktemplate/submitblock'
|
||
|
|
and 'getrawmempool' commands.
|
||
|
|
* Remove deprecated RPC 'getblocknumber'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bitcoin Improvement Proposals implemented
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIP 22 - 'getblocktemplate', 'submitblock' RPCs
|
||
|
|
BIP 34 - block version 2, height in coinbase
|
||
|
|
BIP 35 - 'mempool' message, extended 'getdata' message behavior
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Core bitcoin handling and blockchain database
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Reduced CPU usage, by eliminating some redundant hash calculations
|
||
|
|
* Cache signature verifications, to eliminate redundant signature checks
|
||
|
|
* Transactions with zero-value outputs are considered non-standard
|
||
|
|
* Mining: when creating new blocks, sort 'paid' area by fee-per-kb
|
||
|
|
* Database: better validation of on-disk stored data
|
||
|
|
* Database: minor optimizations and reliability improvements
|
||
|
|
* -loadblock=FILE will import an external block file
|
||
|
|
* Additional DoS (denial-of-service) prevention measures
|
||
|
|
* New blockchain checkpoint at block 193,000
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
JSON-RPC API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Internal HTTP server is now thread-per-connection, rather than
|
||
|
|
a single-threaded queue that would stall on network I/O.
|
||
|
|
* Internal HTTP server supports HTTP/1.1, pipelined requests and
|
||
|
|
connection keep-alive.
|
||
|
|
* Support JSON-RPC 2.0 batches, to encapsulate multiple JSON-RPC requests
|
||
|
|
within a single HTTP request.
|
||
|
|
* IPv6 support
|
||
|
|
* Added raw transaction API. See https://gist.github.com/2839617
|
||
|
|
* Added 'getrawmempool', to list contents of TX memory pool
|
||
|
|
* Added 'getpeerinfo', to list data about each connected network peer
|
||
|
|
* Added 'listaddressgroupings' for better coin control
|
||
|
|
* Rework getblock call.
|
||
|
|
* Remove deprecated RPC 'getblocknumber'
|
||
|
|
* Remove superceded RPC 'getmemorypool' (see BIP 22, above)
|
||
|
|
* listtransactions output now displays "smart" times for transactions,
|
||
|
|
and 'blocktime' and 'timereceived' fields were added
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P2P networking
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* IPv6 support
|
||
|
|
* Tor hidden service support (see doc/Tor.txt)
|
||
|
|
* Attempts to fix "stuck blockchain download" problems
|
||
|
|
* Replace BDB database "addr.dat" with internally-managed "peers.dat"
|
||
|
|
file containing peer address data.
|
||
|
|
* Lower default send buffer from 10MB to 1MB
|
||
|
|
* proxy: SOCKS5 by default
|
||
|
|
* Support connecting by hostnames passed to proxy
|
||
|
|
* Add -seednode connections, and use this instead of DNS seeds when proxied
|
||
|
|
* Added -externalip and -discover
|
||
|
|
* Add -onlynet to connect only to a given network (IPv4, IPv6, or Tor)
|
||
|
|
* Separate listening sockets, -bind=<addr>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Qt GUI
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Add UI RPC console / debug window
|
||
|
|
* Re-Enable URI handling on Windows, add safety checks and tray-notifications
|
||
|
|
* Harmonize the use of ellipsis ("...") to be used in menus, but not on buttons
|
||
|
|
* Add 2 labels to the overviewpage that display Wallet and Transaction status (obsolete or current)
|
||
|
|
* Extend the optionsdialog (e.g. language selection) and re-work it to a tabbed UI
|
||
|
|
* Merge sign/verify message into a single window with tabbed UI
|
||
|
|
* Ensure a changed bitcoin unit immediately updates all GUI elements that use units
|
||
|
|
* Update QR Code dialog
|
||
|
|
* Improve error reporting at startup
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|

|
||
|

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Internal codebase

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
