Bitcoin Core version 0.10.1 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.10.1/>
This is a new minor version release, bringing bug fixes and translation
updates. It is recommended to upgrade to this version.
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.

Bitcoin Core version 0.9.4 is now available from:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.4/
This is a new minor version release, bringing only bug fixes and updated
translations. Upgrading to this release is recommended.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
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).
OpenSSL Warning
================
OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k was recently released and is being pushed out by
various operating system maintainers. Review by Gregory Maxwell determined that
this update is incompatible with the Bitcoin system and could lead to consensus
forks.
Bitcoin Core released binaries from https://bitcoin.org are unaffected,
as are any built with the gitian deterministic build system.
However, if you are running either
- The Ubuntu PPA from https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin
- A third-party or self-compiled Bitcoin Core
upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.9.4, which includes a workaround, **before** updating
OpenSSL.
The incompatibility is due to the OpenSSL update changing the
behavior of ECDSA validation to reject any signature which is
not encoded in a very rigid manner. This was a result of
OpenSSL's change for CVE-2014-8275 "Certificate fingerprints
can be modified".
We are specifically aware of potential hard-forks due to signature
encoding handling and had been hoping to close them via BIP62 in 0.10.
BIP62's purpose is to improve transaction malleability handling and
as a side effect rigidly defines the encoding for signatures, but the
overall scope of BIP62 has made it take longer than we'd like to
deploy.
0.9.4 changelog
================
Validation:
- `b8e81b7` consensus: guard against openssl's new strict DER checks
- `60c51f1` fail immediately on an empty signature
- `037bfef` Improve robustness of DER recoding code
Command-line options:
- `cd5164a` Make -proxy set all network types, avoiding a connect leak.
P2P:
- `bb424e4` Limit the number of new addressses to accumulate
RPC:
- `0a94661` Disable SSLv3 (in favor of TLS) for the RPC client and server.
Build system:
- `f047dfa` gitian: openssl-1.0.1i.tar.gz -> openssl-1.0.1k.tar.gz
- `5b9f78d` build: Fix OSX build when using Homebrew and qt5
- `ffab1dd` Keep symlinks when copying into .app bundle
- `613247f` osx: fix signing to make Gatekeeper happy (again)
Miscellaneous:
- `25b49b5` Refactor -alertnotify code
- `2743529` doc: Add instructions for consistent Mac OS X build names
