Incompatible Changes
|
Bug fixes
|
||||||
--------------------
|
---------
|
||||||
* Replaced the 'getmemorypool' RPC command with 'getblocktemplate/submitblock'
|
* Fixed an uninitialized variable bug that could cause transactions to
|
||||||
and 'getrawmempool' commands.
|
be reported out of order.
|
||||||
* 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
|
|
||||||
* (Windows only): enable ASLR and DEP for bitcoind.exe
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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 gettransaction, getblock calls. 'gettransaction' responds for
|
|
||||||
non-wallet TXs now.
|
|
||||||
* 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* Remove superceded RPC 'getmemorypool' (see BIP 22, above)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>
|

||||||
|
|
||||||
