Binaries for Bitcoin version 0.3.21 are available at:
|
||||
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.21/
|
||||
|
||||
Changes and new features from the 0.3.20 release include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Universal Plug and Play support. Enable automatic opening of a port for incoming connections by running bitcoin or bitcoind with the - -upnp=1 command line switch or using the Options dialog box.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for full-precision bitcoin amounts. You can now send, and bitcoin will display, bitcoin amounts smaller than 0.01. However, sending fewer than 0.01 bitcoins still requires a 0.01 bitcoin fee (so you can send 1.0001 bitcoins without a fee, but you will be asked to pay a fee if you try to send 0.0001).
|
||||
|
||||
* A new method of finding bitcoin nodes to connect with, via DNS A records. Use the -dnsseed option to enable.
|
||||
|
||||
For developers, changes to bitcoin's remote-procedure-call API:
|
||||
|
||||
* New rpc command "sendmany" to send bitcoins to more than one address in a single transaction.
|
||||
|
||||
* Several bug fixes, including a serious intermittent bug that would sometimes cause bitcoind to stop accepting rpc requests.
|
||||
|
||||
* -logtimestamps option, to add a timestamp to each line in debug.log.
|
||||
|
||||
* Immature blocks (newly generated, under 120 confirmations) are now shown in listtransactions.

This is largely a bugfix and TX fee schedule release. We also hope to make 0.3.23 a quick release, to fix problems that the network has seen due to explosive growth in the past week.
|
||||
|
||||
Notable changes:
|
||||
* Client will accept and relay TX's with 0.0005 BTC fee schedule (users still pay 0.01 BTC per kb, until next version)
|
||||
* Non-standard transactions accepted on testnet
|
||||
* Source code tree reorganized (prep for autotools build)
|
||||
* Remove "Generate Coins" option from GUI, and remove 4way SSE miner. Internal reference CPU miner remains available, but users are directed to external miners for best hash production.
|
||||
* IRC is overflowing. Client now bootstraps to channels #bitcoin00 - #bitcoin99
|
||||
* DNS names now may be used with -addnode, -connect (requires -dns to enable)
|
||||
|
||||
RPC changes:
|
||||
* 'listtransactions' adds 'from' param, for range queries
|
||||
* 'move' may take account balances negative
|
||||
* 'settxfee' added, to manually set TX fee

This is another quick bugfix release, trying to deal with the influx of new bitcoin users.
|
||||
|
||||
Main items of note:
|
||||
|
||||
* P2P connect-to-node logic changed to reduce timeout a bit. The network saw a huge influx of new users, who do not permit incoming connections. This change is a short-term hack, to more quickly hunt for useful P2P connections. Better "leaf node" logic is in the works, but this should let us limp along until then. One may use -upnp to properly forward ports, and help the network.
|
||||
* Transaction fee reduced to 0.0005 for new transactions
|
||||
* Client will relay transactions with fees as low as 0.0001 BTC

Bitcoin v0.3.24 is now available for download at
|
||||
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.24/
|
||||
|
||||
This is another bug fix release. We had hoped to have wallet encryption ready for release, but more urgent fixes for existing clients were needed -- most notably block download problems were getting severe. Wallet encryption is ready for testing at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/352 for the git-savvy, and hopefully will follow shortly in the next release, v0.4.
|
||||
|
||||
Notable fixes in v0.3.24, and the main reasons for this release:
|
||||
|
||||
F1) Block downloads were failing or taking unreasonable amounts of time to complete, because the increased size of the block chain was bumping up against some earlier buffer-size DoS limits.
|
||||
|
||||
F2) Fix crash caused by loss/lack of network connection.
|
||||
|
||||
Notable changes in v0.3.24:
|
||||
|
||||
C1) DNS seeding enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
C2) UPNP enabled by default in the GUI client. The percentage of bitcoin clients that accept incoming connections is quite small, and that is a problem. This should help. bitcoind, and unofficial builds, are unchanged (though we encourage use of "-upnp" to help the network!)
|
||||
|
||||
C3) Initial unit testing framework. Bitcoin sorely needs automated tests, and this is a beginning. Contributions welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
C4) Internal wallet code cleanup. While invisible to an end user, this change provides the basis for v0.4's wallet encryption.

Bitcoin version 0.4.0 is now available for download at:
|
||||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.4.0/
|
||||
|
||||
The main feature in this release is wallet private key encryption;
|
||||
you can set a passphrase that must be entered before sending coins.
|
||||
See below for more information; if you decide to encrypt your wallet,
|
||||
WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSPHRASE AND PUT IT IN A SECURE LOCATION. If you
|
||||
forget or lose your wallet passphrase, you lose your bitcoins.
|
||||
Previous versions of bitcoin are unable to read encrypted wallets,
|
||||
and will crash on startup if the wallet is encrypted.
|
||||
|
||||
Also note: bitcoin version 0.4 uses a newer version of Berkeley DB
|
||||
(bdb version 4.8) than previous versions (bdb 4.7). If you upgrade
|
||||
to version 0.4 and then revert back to an earlier version of bitcoin
|
||||
the it may be unable to start because bdb 4.7 cannot read bdb 4.8
|
||||
"log" files.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Notable bug fixes from version 0.3.24:
|
||||
|
||||
Fix several bitcoin-becomes-unresponsive bugs due to multithreading
|
||||
deadlocks.
|
||||
|
||||
Optimize database writes for large (lots of inputs) transactions
|
||||
(fixes a potential denial-of-service attack)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Wallet Encryption
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin supports native wallet encryption so that people who steal your
|
||||
wallet file don't automatically get access to all of your Bitcoins.
|
||||
In order to enable this feature, choose "Encrypt Wallet" from the
|
||||
Options menu. You will be prompted to enter a passphrase, which
|
||||
will be used as the key to encrypt your wallet and will be needed
|
||||
every time you wish to send Bitcoins. If you lose this passphrase,
|
||||
you will lose access to spend all of the bitcoins in your wallet,
|
||||
no one, not even the Bitcoin developers can recover your Bitcoins.
|
||||
This means you are responsible for your own security, store your
|
||||
passphrase in a secure location and do not forget it.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that the encryption built into bitcoin only encrypts the
|
||||
actual keys which are required to send your bitcoins, not the full
|
||||
wallet. This means that someone who steals your wallet file will
|
||||
be able to see all the addresses which belong to you, as well as the
|
||||
relevant transactions, you are only protected from someone spending
|
||||
your coins.
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended that you backup your wallet file before you
|
||||
encrypt your wallet. To do this, close the Bitcoin client and
|
||||
copy the wallet.dat file from ~/.bitcoin/ on Linux, /Users/(user
|
||||
name)/Application Support/Bitcoin/ on Mac OSX, and %APPDATA%/Bitcoin/
|
||||
on Windows (that is /Users/(user name)/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin on
|
||||
Windows Vista and 7 and /Documents and Settings/(user name)/Application
|
||||
Data/Bitcoin on Windows XP). Once you have copied that file to a
|
||||
safe location, reopen the Bitcoin client and Encrypt your wallet.
|
||||
If everything goes fine, delete the backup and enjoy your encrypted
|
||||
wallet. Note that once you encrypt your wallet, you will never be
|
||||
able to go back to a version of the Bitcoin client older than 0.4.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that you are always responsible for your own security.
|
||||
All it takes is a slightly more advanced wallet-stealing trojan which
|
||||
installs a keylogger to steal your wallet passphrase as you enter it
|
||||
in addition to your wallet file and you have lost all your Bitcoins.
|
||||
Wallet encryption cannot keep you safe if you do not practice
|
||||
good security, such as running up-to-date antivirus software, only
|
||||
entering your wallet passphrase in the Bitcoin client and using the
|
||||
same passphrase only as your wallet passphrase.
|
||||
|
||||
See the doc/README file in the bitcoin source for technical details
|
||||
of wallet encryption.

Bitcoin version 0.4.1 is now available for download at:
|
||||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.4.1/
|
||||
|
||||
This is a bugfix only release based on 0.4.0.
|
||||
|
||||
Please report bugs by replying to this forum thread.
|
||||
|
||||
MAJOR BUG FIX (CVE-2011-4447)
|
||||
|
||||
The wallet encryption feature introduced in Bitcoin version 0.4.0 did not sufficiently secure the private keys. An attacker who
|
||||
managed to get a copy of your encrypted wallet.dat file might be able to recover some or all of the unencrypted keys and steal the
|
||||
associated coins.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a previously encrypted wallet.dat, the first time you run wxbitcoin or bitcoind the wallet will be rewritten, Bitcoin will
|
||||
shut down, and you will be prompted to restart it to run with the new, properly encrypted file.
|
||||
|
||||
If you had a previously encrypted wallet.dat that might have been copied or stolen (for example, you backed it up to a public
|
||||
location) you should send all of your bitcoins to yourself using a new bitcoin address and stop using any previously generated addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
Wallets encrypted with this version of Bitcoin are written properly.
|
||||
|
||||
Technical note: the encrypted wallet's 'keypool' will be regenerated the first time you request a new bitcoin address; to be certain that the
|
||||
new private keys are properly backed up you should:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run Bitcoin and let it rewrite the wallet.dat file
|
||||
|
||||
2. Run it again, then ask it for a new bitcoin address.
|
||||
wxBitcoin: new address visible on main window
|
||||
bitcoind: run the 'walletpassphrase' RPC command to unlock the wallet, then run the 'getnewaddress' RPC command.
|
||||
|
||||
3. If your encrypted wallet.dat may have been copied or stolen, send all of your bitcoins to the new bitcoin address.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Shut down Bitcoin, then backup the wallet.dat file.
|
||||
IMPORTANT: be sure to request a new bitcoin address before backing up, so that the 'keypool' is regenerated and backed up.
|
||||
|
||||
"Security in depth" is always a good idea, so choosing a secure location for the backup and/or encrypting the backup before uploading it is recommended. And as in previous releases, if your machine is infected by malware there are several ways an attacker might steal your bitcoins.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
Resolved multiple bugs preventing long-term unlocking of encrypted wallets (issue #922).
|
||||
Only send local IP in "version" messages if it is globally routable (ie, not private), and try to get such an IP from UPnP if applicable.
|
||||
Reannounce UPnP port forwards every 20 minutes, to workaround routers expiring old entries, and allow the -upnp option to override any stored setting.
|
||||
Various memory leaks and potential null pointer deferences have been
|
||||
fixed.
|
||||
Several shutdown issues have been fixed.
|
||||
Check that keys stored in the wallet are valid at startup, and if not,
|
||||
report corruption.
|
||||
Various build fixes.
|
||||
If no password is specified to bitcoind, recommend a secure password.
|
||||
Update hard-coded fallback seed nodes, choosing recent ones with long uptime and versions at least 0.4.0.

Bitcoin version 0.5.2 is now available for download at:
|
||||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.2/
|
||||
|
||||
This is a bugfix-only release based on 0.5.1.
|
||||
|
||||
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
|
||||
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
|
||||
|
||||
Stable source code is hosted at Gitorious:
|
||||
http://gitorious.org/bitcoin/bitcoind-stable/archive-tarball/v0.5.2#.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
BUG FIXES
|
||||
|
||||
Check all transactions in blocks after the last checkpoint (0.5.0 and 0.5.1 skipped checking ECDSA signatures during initial blockchain download).
|
||||
Cease locking memory used by non-sensitive information (this caused a huge performance hit on some platforms, especially noticable during initial blockchain download; this was
|
||||
not a security vulnerability).
|
||||
Fixed some address-handling deadlocks (client freezes).
|
||||
No longer accept inbound connections over the internet when Bitcoin is being used with Tor (identity leak).
|
||||
Re-enable SSL support for the JSON-RPC interface (it was unintentionally disabled for the 0.5.0 and 0.5.1 release Linux binaries).
|
||||
Use the correct base transaction fee of 0.0005 BTC for accepting transactions into mined blocks (since 0.4.0, it was incorrectly accepting 0.0001 BTC which was only meant to be relayed).
|
||||
Don't show "IP" for transactions which are not necessarily IP transactions.
|
||||
Add new DNS seeds (maintained by Pieter Wuille and Luke Dashjr).

Bitcoin version 0.5.3 is now available for download at:
|
||||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.3/
|
||||
|
||||
This is a bugfix-only release based on 0.5.1.
|
||||
It also includes a few protocol updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

|
||||
|
||||
PROTOCOL UPDATES
|
||||
|
||||
BIP 30: Introduce a new network rule: "a block is not valid if it contains a transaction whose hash already exists in the block chain, unless all that transaction's outputs were already spent before said block" beginning on March 15, 2012, 00:00 UTC.
|
||||
On testnet, allow mining of min-difficulty blocks if 20 minutes have gone by without mining a regular-difficulty block. This is to make testing Bitcoin easier, and will not affect normal mode.
|
||||
|
||||
BUG FIXES
|
||||
|
||||
Limit the number of orphan transactions stored in memory, to prevent a potential denial-of-service attack by flooding orphan transactions. Also never store invalid transactions at all.
|
||||
Fix possible buffer overflow on systems with very long application data paths. This is not exploitable.
|
||||
Resolved multiple bugs preventing long-term unlocking of encrypted wallets
|
||||
(issue #922).
|
||||
Only send local IP in "version" messages if it is globally routable (ie, not private), and try to get such an IP from UPnP if applicable.
|
||||
Reannounce UPnP port forwards every 20 minutes, to workaround routers expiring old entries, and allow the -upnp option to override any stored setting.
|
||||
Skip splash screen when -min is used, and fix Minimize to Tray function.
|
||||
Do not blank "label" in Bitcoin-Qt "Send" tab, if the user has already entered something.
|
||||
Correct various labels and messages.
|
||||
Various memory leaks and potential null pointer deferences have been fixed.
|
||||
Handle invalid Bitcoin URIs using "bitcoin://" instead of "bitcoin:".
|
||||
Several shutdown issues have been fixed.
|
||||
Revert to "global progress indication", as starting from zero every time was considered too confusing for many users.
|
||||
Check that keys stored in the wallet are valid at startup, and if not, report corruption.
|
||||
Enable accessible widgets on Windows, so that people with screen readers such as NVDA can make sense of it.
|
||||
Various build fixes.
|
||||
If no password is specified to bitcoind, recommend a secure password.
|
||||
Automatically focus and scroll to new "Send coins" entries in Bitcoin-Qt.
|
||||
Show a message box for --help on Windows, for Bitcoin-Qt.
|
||||
Add missing "About Qt" menu option to show built-in Qt About dialog.
|
||||
Don't show "-daemon" as an option for Bitcoin-Qt, since it isn't available.
|
||||
Update hard-coded fallback seed nodes, choosing recent ones with long uptime and versions at least 0.4.0.
|
||||
Add checkpoint at block 168,000.

|
||||
Check wallet's minimum version before trying to load it.
|
||||
Remove wxBitcoin properly when installing Bitcoin-Qt over it. (Windows)

Use a messagebox to display the error when -server is provided without configuring a RPC password.
|
||||

|
||||
Removed an extraneous line-break in mature transaction tooltips.
|
||||
Fix some grammatical errors in translation process documentation.
