In June 2010 the Bitcoin reference software version 0.2.10 introduced
|
|
a change to the protocol: the 'version' messages exchanged by nodes
|
|
at connection time would have a new format that included checksum
|
|
values to detect corruption by broken networks.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
All other messages already carry a checksum (for connections between
|
|
nodes 0.2.9 and later) but the version messages themselves could not
|
|
be changed in a compatible way, so this change was delayed and did not take effect until
|
|
<a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Bitcoin+protocol+change&iso=20120220T00">midnight UTC on Feb 20th 2012</a>
|
|
to leave users time to upgrade.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
The developers of the Bitcoin reference software are unable to find
|
|
any evidence of any nodes still running software prior to 0.2.10 on
|
|
the network. If any nodes with software this old
|
|
do still exist, they will no longer be able to connect to newer nodes.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
This switchover has been tested and no significant disruption is
|
|
expected and none has been observed so far.
|
|
Nodes with incorrect clocks may have a difficult
|
|
time making new connections for a brief period around the switchover
|
|
time.
