If you need that functionality, you must run once +with -txindex=1 -reindex=1 to rebuild block-chain indices (see below for more +details). + +Improvements ------------ -* Added a boolean argument to the RPC 'stop' command, if true sets - -detachdb to create standalone database .dat files before shutting down. +Mac and Windows binaries are signed with certificates owned by the Bitcoin +Foundation, to be compatible with the new security features in OSX 10.8 and +Windows 8. -* -salvagewallet command-line option, which moves any existing wallet.dat - to wallet.{timestamp}.dat and then attempts to salvage public/private - keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into - a new wallet.dat. This should only be used if your wallet becomes - corrupted, and is not intended to replace regular wallet backups. +LevelDB, a fast, open-source, non-relational database from Google, is +now used to store transaction and block indices. LevelDB works much better +on machines with slow I/O and is faster in general. Berkeley DB is now only +used for the wallet.dat file (public and private wallet keys and transactions +relevant to you). -* Import $DataDir/bootstrap.dat automatically, if it exists. +Pieter Wuille implemented many optimizations to the way transactions are +verified, so a running, synchronized node uses much less memory and does +much less I/O. He also implemented parallel signature checking, so if you +have a multi-CPU machine all CPUs will be used to verify transactions. -Dependency changes ------------------- +New Features +------------ + +"Bloom filter" support in the network protocol for sending only relevant transactions to +lightweight clients. + +contrib/verifysfbinaries is a shell-script to verify that the binary downloads +at sourceforge have not been tampered with. If you are able, you can help make +everybody's downloads more secure by running this occasionally to check PGP +signatures against download file checksums. + +contrib/spendfrom is a python-language command-line utility that demonstrates +how to use the "raw transactions" JSON-RPC api to send coins received from particular +addresses (also known as "coin control"). -* Qt 4.8.2 for Windows builds +New/changed settings (command-line or bitcoin.conf file) +-------------------------------------------------------- -* openssl 1.0.1c +dbcache : now controls LevelDB memory usage. Running with (for example) -dbcache=1000 +will use a gigabyte of memory and might make the initial blockchain download faster. -Bug fixes ---------- +par : controls how many threads to use to validate transactions. Defaults to the number +of CPUs on your machine, use -par=1 to limit to a single CPU. -* When running -testnet, use RPC port 18332 by default. +txindex : maintains an extra index of old, spent transaction ids so they will be found +by the getrawtransaction JSON-RPC method. -* Better detection and handling of corrupt wallet.dat and blkindex.dat files. - Previous versions would crash with a DB_RUNRECOVERY exception, this - version detects most problems and tells you how to recover if it - cannot recover itself. +reindex : rebuild block and transaction indices from the downloaded block data. -* Fixed an uninitialized variable bug that could cause transactions to - be reported out of order. +New JSON-RPC API Features +------------------------- -* Fixed a bug that could cause occasional crashes on exit. +lockunspent / listlockunspent allow locking transaction outputs for a period of time so +they will not be spent by other processes that might be accessing the same wallet. + +addnode / getaddednodeinfo methods, to connect to specific peers without restarting. + +importprivkey now takes an optional boolean parameter (default true) to control whether +or not to rescan the blockchain for transactions after importing a new private key. + +Important Bug Fixes +------------------- + +Privacy leak: the position of the "change" output in most transactions was not being +properly randomized, making network analysis of the transaction graph to identify +users' wallets easier. + +Zero-confirmation transaction vulnerability: accepting zero-confirmation transactions +(transactions that have not yet been included in a block) from somebody you do not +trust is still not recommended, because there will always be ways for attackers to +double-spend zero-confirmation transactions. However, this release includes a bug +fix that makes it a little bit more difficult for attackers to double-spend a +certain type ("lockTime in the future") of zero-confirmation transaction. + +Dependency Changes +------------------ -* Warn the user that they need to create fresh wallet backups after they - encrypt their wallet. +Qt 4.8.3 (compiling against older versions of Qt 4 should continue to work) diff --git a/doc/release-process.txt b/doc/release-process.txt index 708e320659745..166f2aaf3ca6d 100644 --- a/doc/release-process.txt +++ b/doc/release-process.txt @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ src/clientversion.h (change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to true) share/setup.nsi doc/README* + contrib/verifysfbinaries/verify.sh * tag version in git diff --git a/share/setup.nsi b/share/setup.nsi index ead20a5c4efa1..307db6f623b25 100644 --- a/share/setup.nsi +++ b/share/setup.nsi @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ SetCompressor /SOLID lzma # General Symbol Definitions !define REGKEY "SOFTWARE\$(^Name)" -!define VERSION 0.7.99 +!define VERSION 0.8.0 !define COMPANY "Bitcoin project" !define URL http://www.bitcoin.org/ @@ -45,13 +45,13 @@ Var StartMenuGroup !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE English # Installer attributes -OutFile bitcoin-0.7.99-win32-setup.exe +OutFile bitcoin-0.8.0-win32-setup.exe InstallDir $PROGRAMFILES\Bitcoin CRCCheck on XPStyle on BrandingText " " ShowInstDetails show -VIProductVersion 0.7.99.0 +VIProductVersion 0.8.0.0 VIAddVersionKey ProductName Bitcoin VIAddVersionKey ProductVersion "${VERSION}" VIAddVersionKey CompanyName "${COMPANY}" diff --git a/src/clientversion.h b/src/clientversion.h index 24355d1a542c8..44cda07b81917 100644 --- a/src/clientversion.h +++ b/src/clientversion.h @@ -7,12 +7,12 @@ // These need to be macros, as version.cpp's and bitcoin-qt.rc's voodoo requires it #define CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR 0 -#define CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR 7 -#define CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION 99 +#define CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR 8 +#define CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION 0 #define CLIENT_VERSION_BUILD 0 // Set to true for release, false for prerelease or test build -#define CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE false +#define CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE true // Converts the parameter X to a string after macro replacement on X has been performed. // Don't merge these into one macro!
