Bitcoin XT 0.11B contains the following changes and upgrades:

  • For miners, compatibility with tools like cgminer that include 64-bit incompatible JSON parsers
  • A size limited mempool for "stress test" resistance. Use the -maxmempooltx flag to control how many transactions are allowed in the mempool at once (default is 50000 or about 25 blocks worth). When there's an overflow, a random transaction and its children will be removed to make room.
  • Now defaults to trusting the system clock, to resolve potential issues with lying peers causing clock drift.
  • Stealth mode (activated with -stealth-mode flag), to make XT appear as Core on the network. Stealth mode can be used to hide from DDoS attacks but disables some protocol upgrades and other DoS attack fixes, so should only be used if you need it.
  • Improvements to the IP priorities code. You can now load IP priorities from files on disk, if you find certain IP ranges using up all your sockets.
  • XT patchlevel now appears more consistently.
