Gemfile:

  - Upgrade to Jekyll 3.x (3.0.1 tested).  This brings several new
    features I want to use, most notably *collections* which allows us
    to add blog-like collections. I've converted the `_releases` and
    `_alerts` pages into collections, although their plugins are
    maintained to handle the Download and Active Alert features.

  - Upgrade to latest Kramdown.

  - Lock Less at 2.4.0.  This prevents breaking our Less plugin.  Jekyll
    3.x provides native support for SCSS, so we may want to switch to
    that in time.

  - Lock HTML Proofer at 2.1.0.  The most recent version was taking
    forever to check our pages (I never actually got it to complete).
    I'll look into it when I get more time.

Makefile:

  - New `make clean` command.  Jekyll 3.x by default attempts to do
    incremental rebuilds.  The new `jekyll clean` command cleans up the
    metadata necessary for than so that a full build is performed, and
    this new `make clean` command is a wrapper around it so that we
    automatically do full rebuilds in the relevant cases.  Note: our
    plugins aren't fully compatible with the incremental rebuilds, but
    I'd like to fix that in the future.

  - Remove WEBrick hack to enable previewing with default URL paths (/
    instead of /index.html).

  - Filter out compliants from Rouge

README.md:

  - Now that Alerts (_alerts) are part of a collection, the file names
    are no longer parsed for dates, so instructions on adding the date
    to the YAML metadata have been added.

_alerts/*:

  - Now that alerts are part of a collection, the file names are no
    longer parsed to provide dates, so a `date:` field has been added to
    the YAML metadata.

_config.yml:

  - Some variables renamed per upgrade instructions.

  - Switched from old default syntax highlighter Pygments to new default
    Rouge.  I tried to use Rouge options to keep new output as similar
    to old output as possible to making diffing easy, but Rouge adds
    extra CSS class info.

  - Move `_alerts` and `_releases` into Jekyll 3.x "collections", which
    provide the organizational features we were using plugins to
    manange.  I haven't removed the old plugins because we still use
    some of their features (alerts.rb provides active issue and banner
    features; releases.rb provides info to Download page)

  - _layouts/* can no longer provide default global metadata; that is now
    provided in the new `defaults:` section in _config.yml.

_layouts/*:

  - Default metadata can no longer be provided in the layout files for
    collections, so I've removed it and left a message to see
    _config.yml.

_plugins/*:

  - Remove filter_for.rb. It's completely broken on Jekyll 3.x because
    of changes to Liquid which prevent adding new arguments to the
    inherited Liquid::For class. Existing uses of filter_for have been
    migrated to built-in for loops prefaced by sorts.

  - Remove remove-html-extension.rb: at it said in the comments, this
    was a temporary hack to get us to Jekyll 3.0.

_releases/*:

  - Rename all the files: prefix a v to the file name so the output html
    (e.g. v10.0.0.html) is the same as the source filename (e.g.
    v10.0.0.md).  This is necessary to migrate them to a Jekyll collection.

  - Remove %v from titles: we have to explicitly set the title, like we
    used to.  Again required for migration to collections.

_templates/events.html & en/rss/events.rss:

  - Sort events by date and then loop with regular for loop rather than
    filter_for

en/alerts.html & en/rss/alerts.rss:

  - Sort alerts by date and then loop with regular for loop rather than
    filter_for

en/bitcoin-core/index.md & en/version-history.html & en/rss/releases.rss:

  - Sort alerts by date and then loop with regular for loop rather than
    filter_for

{% githubify https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin %} Bitcoin Core version 0.11.2 is now available from:

https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.11.2/

This is a new minor version release, bringing bug fixes, the BIP65 (CLTV) consensus change, and relay policy preparation for BIP113. It is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues

Upgrading and downgrading

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).

Downgrade warning

Because release 0.10.0 and later makes use of headers-first synchronization and parallel block download (see further), the block files and databases are not backwards-compatible with pre-0.10 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software:

Blocks will be stored on disk out of order (in the order they are received, really), which makes it incompatible with some tools or other programs. Reindexing using earlier versions will also not work anymore as a result of this.
The block index database will now hold headers for which no block is stored on disk, which earlier versions won't support.

If you want to be able to downgrade smoothly, make a backup of your entire data directory. Without this your node will need start syncing (or importing from bootstrap.dat) anew afterwards. It is possible that the data from a completely synchronised 0.10 node may be usable in older versions as-is, but this is not supported and may break as soon as the older version attempts to reindex.

This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility. There are no known problems when downgrading from 0.11.x to 0.10.x.

Notable changes since 0.11.1

BIP65 soft fork to enforce OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcode

This release includes several changes related to the BIP65 soft fork which redefines the existing OP_NOP2 opcode as OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY (CLTV) so that a transaction output can be made unspendable until a specified point in the future.

This release will only relay and mine transactions spending a CLTV output if they comply with the BIP65 rules as provided in code.
This release will produce version 4 blocks by default. Please see the notice to miners below.
Once 951 out of a sequence of 1,001 blocks on the local node's best block chain contain version 4 (or higher) blocks, this release will no longer accept new version 3 blocks and it will only accept version 4 blocks if they comply with the BIP65 rules for CLTV.

For more information about the soft-forking change, please see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6351

Graphs showing the progress towards block version 4 adoption may be found at the URLs below:

Block versions over the last 50,000 blocks as progress towards BIP65 consensus enforcement: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-50k.png
Block versions over the last 2,000 blocks showing the days to the earliest possible BIP65 consensus-enforced block: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-2k.png

Notice to miners: Bitcoin Core’s block templates are now for version 4 blocks only, and any mining software relying on its getblocktemplate must be updated in parallel to use libblkmaker either version 0.4.3 or any version from 0.5.2 onward.

If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin Core, which must be done prior to BIP65 achieving its 951/1001 status.
If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you.
If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect you at the pool operator’s discretion, which must be no later than BIP65 achieving its 951/1001 status.

BIP113 mempool-only locktime enforcement using GetMedianTimePast()

Bitcoin transactions currently may specify a locktime indicating when they may be added to a valid block. Current consensus rules require that blocks have a block header time greater than the locktime specified in any transaction in that block.

Miners get to choose what time they use for their header time, with the consensus rule being that no node will accept a block whose time is more than two hours in the future. This creates a incentive for miners to set their header times to future values in order to include locktimed transactions which weren't supposed to be included for up to two more hours.

The consensus rules also specify that valid blocks may have a header time greater than that of the median of the 11 previous blocks. This GetMedianTimePast() time has a key feature we generally associate with time: it can't go backwards.

BIP113 specifies a soft fork (not enforced in this release) that weakens this perverse incentive for individual miners to use a future time by requiring that valid blocks have a computed GetMedianTimePast() greater than the locktime specified in any transaction in that block.

Mempool inclusion rules currently require transactions to be valid for immediate inclusion in a block in order to be accepted into the mempool. This release begins applying the BIP113 rule to received transactions, so transaction whose time is greater than the GetMedianTimePast() will no longer be accepted into the mempool.

Implication for miners: you will begin rejecting transactions that would not be valid under BIP113, which will prevent you from producing invalid blocks if/when BIP113 is enforced on the network. Any transactions which are valid under the current rules but not yet valid under the BIP113 rules will either be mined by other miners or delayed until they are valid under BIP113. Note, however, that time-based locktime transactions are more or less unseen on the network currently.

Implication for users: GetMedianTimePast() always trails behind the current time, so a transaction locktime set to the present time will be rejected by nodes running this release until the median time moves forward. To compensate, subtract one hour (3,600 seconds) from your locktimes to allow those transactions to be included in mempools at approximately the expected time.

Windows bug fix for corrupted UTXO database on unclean shutdowns

Several Windows users reported that they often need to reindex the entire blockchain after an unclean shutdown of Bitcoin Core on Windows (or an unclean shutdown of Windows itself). Although unclean shutdowns remain unsafe, this release no longer relies on memory-mapped files for the UTXO database, which significantly reduced the frequency of unclean shutdowns leading to required reindexes during testing.

For more information, see: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6917

Other fixes for database corruption on Windows are expected in the next major release.
