- Makefile: extend copyright check test to scan all files with YAML
headers
- Exclude alerts from check -- lack of a license shouldn't prevent
us from publishing emergency information
- Also add license to Makefile itself
- Fix all errors caught by new test
- For release notes, also link to github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
repository as origin
- Also update README.md release instructions to include license

Project source code is hosted at github; you can get
|
|
source-only tarballs/zipballs directly from there:
|
|

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
|
|
/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or 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
|
|
* Fine-grained UI updates for a much smoother UI during block downloads
|
|
* Remove autocorrection of 0/i in addresses in UI
|
|
* Reorganize tray icon menu into more logical order
|
|
* Persistently poll for balance change when number of blocks changed
|
|
* Much better translations
|
|
* Override progress bar design on platforms with segmented progress bars to assist with readability
|
|
* Added 'immature balance' display on the overview page
|
|
* (Windows only): enable ASLR and DEP for bitcoin-qt.exe
|
|
* (Windows only): add meta-data to bitcoin-qt.exe (e.g. description)
|
|
|
|
Internal codebase
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Additional unit tests
|
|
* Compile warning fixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
