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

Project source code is hosted at github; we are no longer
|
|
distributing .tar.gz files here, you can get them
|
|
directly from github:
|
|
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tarball/v0.6.0> # .tar.gz
|
|
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/zipball/v0.6.0> # .zip
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu users, there is a ppa maintained by Matt Corallo which
|
|
you can add to your system so that it will automatically keep
|
|
bitcoin up-to-date. Just type
|
|
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
|
|
in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package.

KNOWN ISSUES
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Shutting down while synchronizing with the network
|
|
(downloading the blockchain) can take more than a minute,
|
|
because database writes are queued to speed up download
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NEW FEATURES SINCE BITCOIN VERSION 0.5
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Initial network synchronization should be much faster
|
|
(one or two hours on a typical machine instead of ten or more
|
|
hours).
|
|
|
|
Backup Wallet menu option.
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin-Qt can display and save QR codes for sending
|
|
and receiving addresses.
|
|
|
|
New context menu on addresses to copy/edit/delete them.
|
|
|
|
New Sign Message dialog that allows you to prove that you
|
|
own a bitcoin address by creating a digital
|
|
signature.
|
|
|
|
New wallets created with this version will
|
|
use 33-byte 'compressed' public keys instead of
|
|
65-byte public keys, resulting in smaller
|
|
transactions and less traffic on the bitcoin
|
|
network. The shorter keys are already supported
|
|
by the network but wallet.dat files containing
|
|
short keys are not compatible with earlier
|
|
versions of Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind.
|
|
|
|
New command-line argument `-blocknotify=<command>`
|
|
that will spawn a shell process to run `<command>`
|
|
when a new block is accepted.
|
|
|
|
New command-line argument -splash=0 to disable
|
|
Bitcoin-Qt's initial splash screen
|
|
|
|
validateaddress JSON-RPC api command output includes
|
|
two new fields for addresses in the wallet:
|
|
pubkey : hexadecimal public key
|
|
iscompressed : true if pubkey is a short 33-byte key
|
|
|
|
New JSON-RPC api commands for dumping/importing
|
|
private keys from the wallet (dumprivkey, importprivkey).
|
|
|
|
New JSON-RPC api command for getting information about
|
|
blocks (getblock, getblockhash).
|
|
|
|
New JSON-RPC api command (getmininginfo) for getting
|
|
extra information related to mining. The getinfo
|
|
JSON-RPC command no longer includes mining-related
|
|
information (generate/genproclimit/hashespersec).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTABLE CHANGES
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
BIP30 implemented (security fix for an attack involving
|
|
duplicate "coinbase transactions").
|
|
|
|
The -nolisten, -noupnp and -nodnsseed command-line
|
|
options were renamed to -listen, -upnp and -dnsseed,
|
|
with a default value of 1. The old names are still
|
|
supported for compatibility (so specifying -nolisten
|
|
is automatically interpreted as -listen=0; every
|
|
boolean argument can now be specified as either
|
|
-foo or -nofoo).
|
|
|
|
The -noirc command-line options was renamed to
|
|
-irc, with a default value of 0. Run -irc=1 to
|
|
get the old behavior.
|
|
|
|
Three fill-up-available-memory denial-of-service
|
|
attacks were fixed.
|
|
|
|
NOT YET IMPLEMENTED FEATURES
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Support for clicking on bitcoin: URIs and
|
|
opening/launching Bitcoin-Qt is available only on Linux,
|
|
and only if you configure your desktop to launch
|
|
Bitcoin-Qt. All platforms support dragging and dropping
|
|
bitcoin: URIs onto the Bitcoin-Qt window to start
|
|
payment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PRELIMINARY SUPPORT FOR MULTISIGNATURE TRANSACTIONS
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This release has preliminary support for multisignature
|
|
transactions-- transactions that require authorization
|
|
from more than one person or device before they
|
|
will be accepted by the bitcoin network.
|
|
|
|
Prior to this release, multisignature transactions
|
|
were considered 'non-standard' and were ignored;
|
|
with this release multisignature transactions are
|
|
considered standard and will start to be relayed
|
|
and accepted into blocks.
|
|
|
|
It is expected that future releases of Bitcoin-Qt
|
|
will support the creation of multisignature transactions,
|
|
once enough of the network has upgraded so relaying
|
|
and validating them is robust.
|
|
|
|
For this release, creation and testing of multisignature
|
|
transactions is limited to the bitcoin test network using
|
|
the "addmultisigaddress" JSON-RPC api call.
|
|
|
|
Short multisignature address support is included in this
|
|
release, as specified in BIP 13 and BIP 16.

potential denial-of-service attacks to our attention.
