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. | ||
|

|
||
Notable changes | ||
=============== | ||
|
||
Fix buffer overflow in bundled upnp | ||
------------------------------------ | ||
|
||
Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 1.9.20151008. This fixes a buffer overflow in | ||
the XML parser during initial network discovery. | ||
|
||
Details can be found here: http://talosintel.com/reports/TALOS-2015-0035/ | ||
|
||
This applies to the distributed executables only, not when building from source or | ||
using distribution provided packages. | ||
|
||
Additionally, upnp has been disabled by default. This may result in a lower | ||
number of reachable nodes on IPv4, however this prevents future libupnpc | ||
vulnerabilities from being a structural risk to the network | ||
(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6795). | ||
|
||
Test for LowS signatures before relaying | ||
----------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Make the node require the canonical 'low-s' encoding for ECDSA signatures when | ||
relaying or mining. This removes a nuisance malleability vector. | ||
|
||
Consensus behavior is unchanged. | ||
|
||
If widely deployed this change would eliminate the last remaining known vector | ||
for nuisance malleability on SIGHASH_ALL P2PKH transactions. On the down-side | ||
it will block most transactions made by sufficiently out of date software. | ||
|
||
Unlike the other avenues to change txids on transactions this | ||
one was randomly violated by all deployed bitcoin software prior to | ||
its discovery. So, while other malleability vectors where made | ||
non-standard as soon as they were discovered, this one has remained | ||
permitted. Even BIP62 did not propose applying this rule to | ||
old version transactions, but conforming implementations have become | ||
much more common since BIP62 was initially written. | ||
|
||
Bitcoin Core has produced compatible signatures since a28fb70e in | ||
September 2013, but this didn't make it into a release until 0.9 | ||
in March 2014; Bitcoinj has done so for a similar span of time. | ||
Bitcoinjs and electrum have been more recently updated. | ||
|
||
This does not replace the need for BIP62 or similar, as miners can | ||
still cooperate to break transactions. Nor does it replace the | ||
need for wallet software to handle malleability sanely[1]. This | ||
only eliminates the cheap and irritating DOS attack. | ||

|
||
Minimum relay fee default increase | ||
----------------------------------- | ||
|
||
The default for the `-minrelaytxfee` setting has been increased from `0.00001` | ||
to `0.00005`. | ||
|
||
This is necessitated by the current transaction flooding, causing | ||
outrageous memory usage on nodes due to the mempool ballooning. This is a | ||
temporary measure, bridging the time until a dynamic method for determining | ||
this fee is merged (which will be in 0.12). | ||
|
||
(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6793, as well as the 0.11.0 | ||
release notes, in which this value was suggested) | ||
|
||
0.10.3 Change log | ||

behavior, not code moves, refactors or string updates. | ||
