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 | ||
