This version marks the main release of the Homestead protocol update. As Homestead is a hard fork, versions older than this should not be used for the live network.

Regarding non-protocol features, the RPC-admin interface of cpp-ethereum now looks more similar to go-ethereum's. Especially, it is possible to use Mist and geth attach with a cpp-ethereum node running in the background. Of course, we also provide a console that does not require geth in the form of a simple nodejs script.
The rpc admin interface of cpp-ethereum should not be used via http anymore because of security reasons. If you must, you can enable it via a commandline switch (see --help).

Changelog

eth:

  • set homestead hard fork block number
  • implemented admin interface (geth attach can now be used with a running eth node)
  • unlockAccount call now takes timeout into account
  • mining fix for private networks
  • fix admin.exit()
  • fix for sendTransaction with certain data formatting
  • fix network port parsing in --remote commandline option

Mix:

  • gas estimation for constructor
  • more accessible debug button for transactions

Solidity:

  • Fixed point types (work in progress, by VoR0220)
  • inline assembly (work in progress)

AlethOne:

  • Fixed some UI layout issues

Alethzero is still included in this release but will be slowly phased out during the next releases.
Also note that eth can now be used with geth attach. This will expose some administration interfaces via IPC (i.e. unix sockets / pipes and not http by default) which are not password protected.
