bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/build-netbsd.md | # NetBSD Build Guide
Updated for NetBSD [9.2](https://netbsd.org/releases/formal-9/NetBSD-9.2.html).
This guide describes how to build bitcoind, command-line utilities, and GUI on NetBSD.
## Preparation
### 1. Install Required Dependencies
Install the required dependencies the usual way you [install software on NetBSD](https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-boot.html#chap-boot-pkgsrc).
The example commands below use `pkgin`.
```bash
pkgin install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config git gmake boost libevent
```
NetBSD currently ships with an older version of `gcc` than is needed to build. You should upgrade your `gcc` and then pass this new version to the configure script.
For example, grab `gcc9`:
```
pkgin install gcc9
```
Then, when configuring, pass the following:
```bash
./configure
...
CC="/usr/pkg/gcc9/bin/gcc" \
CXX="/usr/pkg/gcc9/bin/g++" \
...
```
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
### 2. Clone Bitcoin Repo
Clone the Bitcoin Core repository to a directory. All build scripts and commands will run from this directory.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
```
### 3. Install Optional Dependencies
#### Wallet Dependencies
It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run bitcoind or the GUI.
###### Descriptor Wallet Support
`sqlite3` is required to enable support for [descriptor wallets](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md).
```bash
pkgin install sqlite3
```
###### Legacy Wallet Support
`db4` is required to enable support for legacy wallets.
```bash
pkgin install db4
```
#### GUI Dependencies
Bitcoin Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework. To compile the GUI, we need to install `qt5`.
```bash
pkgin install qt5
```
The GUI can encode addresses in a QR Code. To build in QR support for the GUI, install `qrencode`.
```bash
pkgin install qrencode
```
#### Test Suite Dependencies
There is an included test suite that is useful for testing code changes when developing.
To run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:
```bash
pkgin install python37
```
### Building Bitcoin Core
**Note**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error).
### 1. Configuration
There are many ways to configure Bitcoin Core. Here is an example that
explicitly disables the wallet and GUI:
```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-wallet --with-gui=no \
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
MAKE=gmake
```
For a full list of configuration options, see the output of `./configure --help`
### 2. Compile
Build and run the tests:
```bash
gmake # use "-j N" here for N parallel jobs
gmake check # Run tests if Python 3 is available
```

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/external-signer.md | # Support for signing transactions outside of Bitcoin Core
Bitcoin Core can be launched with `-signer=<cmd>` where `<cmd>` is an external tool which can sign transactions and perform other functions. For example, it can be used to communicate with a hardware wallet.
## Example usage
The following example is based on the [HWI](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI) tool. Version 2.0 or newer is required. Although this tool is hosted under the Bitcoin Core GitHub organization and maintained by Bitcoin Core developers, it should be used with caution. It is considered experimental and has far less review than Bitcoin Core itself. Be particularly careful when running tools such as these on a computer with private keys on it.
When using a hardware wallet, consult the manufacturer website for (alternative) software they recommend. As long as their software conforms to the standard below, it should be able to work with Bitcoin Core.
Start Bitcoin Core:
```sh
$ bitcoind -signer=../HWI/hwi.py
```
### Device setup
Follow the hardware manufacturers instructions for the initial device setup, as well as their instructions for creating a backup. Alternatively, for some devices, you can use the `setup`, `restore` and `backup` commands provided by [HWI](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI).
### Create wallet and import keys
Get a list of signing devices / services:
```
$ bitcoin-cli enumeratesigners
{
"signers": [
{
"fingerprint": "c8df832a"
}
]
```
The master key fingerprint is used to identify a device.
Create a wallet, this automatically imports the public keys:
```sh
$ bitcoin-cli createwallet "hww" true true "" true true true
```
### Verify an address
Display an address on the device:
```sh
$ bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=<wallet> getnewaddress
$ bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=<wallet> walletdisplayaddress <address>
```
Replace `<address>` with the result of `getnewaddress`.
### Spending
Under the hood this uses a [Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction](psbt.md).
```sh
$ bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=<wallet> sendtoaddress <address> <amount>
```
This prompts your hardware wallet to sign, and fail if it's not connected. If successful
it automatically broadcasts the transaction.
```sh
{"complete": true, "txid": <txid>}
```
## Signer API
In order to be compatible with Bitcoin Core any signer command should conform to the specification below. This specification is subject to change. Ideally a BIP should propose a standard so that other wallets can also make use of it.
Prerequisite knowledge:
* [Output Descriptors](descriptors.md)
* Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction ([PSBT](psbt.md))
### `enumerate` (required)
Usage:
```
$ <cmd> enumerate
[
{
"fingerprint": "00000000"
}
]
```
The command MUST return an (empty) array with at least a `fingerprint` field.
A future extension could add an optional return field with device capabilities. Perhaps a descriptor with wildcards. For example: `["pkh("44'/0'/$'/{0,1}/*"), sh(wpkh("49'/0'/$'/{0,1}/*")), wpkh("84'/0'/$'/{0,1}/*")]`. This would indicate the device supports legacy, wrapped SegWit and native SegWit. In addition it restricts the derivation paths that can used for those, to maintain compatibility with other wallet software. It also indicates the device, or the driver, doesn't support multisig.
A future extension could add an optional return field `reachable`, in case `<cmd>` knows a signer exists but can't currently reach it.
### `signtransaction` (required)
Usage:
```
$ <cmd> --fingerprint=<fingerprint> (--testnet) signtransaction <psbt>
base64_encode_signed_psbt
```
The command returns a psbt with any signatures.
The `psbt` SHOULD include bip32 derivations. The command SHOULD fail if none of the bip32 derivations match a key owned by the device.
The command SHOULD fail if the user cancels.
The command MAY complain if `--testnet` is set, but any of the BIP32 derivation paths contain a coin type other than `1h` (and vice versa).
### `getdescriptors` (optional)
Usage:
```
$ <cmd> --fingerprint=<fingerprint> (--testnet) getdescriptors <account>
<xpub>
```
Returns descriptors supported by the device. Example:
```
$ <cmd> --fingerprint=00000000 --testnet getdescriptors
{
"receive": [
"pkh([00000000/44h/0h/0h]xpub6C.../0/*)#fn95jwmg",
"sh(wpkh([00000000/49h/0h/0h]xpub6B..../0/*))#j4r9hntt",
"wpkh([00000000/84h/0h/0h]xpub6C.../0/*)#qw72dxa9"
],
"internal": [
"pkh([00000000/44h/0h/0h]xpub6C.../1/*)#c8q40mts",
"sh(wpkh([00000000/49h/0h/0h]xpub6B..../1/*))#85dn0v75",
"wpkh([00000000/84h/0h/0h]xpub6C..../1/*)#36mtsnda"
]
}
```
### `displayaddress` (optional)
Usage:
```
<cmd> --fingerprint=<fingerprint> (--testnet) displayaddress --desc descriptor
```
Example, display the first native SegWit receive address on Testnet:
```
<cmd> --fingerprint=00000000 --testnet displayaddress --desc "wpkh([00000000/84h/1h/0h]tpubDDUZ..../0/0)"
```
The command MUST be able to figure out the address type from the descriptor.
If <descriptor> contains a master key fingerprint, the command MUST fail if it does not match the fingerprint known by the device.
If <descriptor> contains an xpub, the command MUST fail if it does not match the xpub known by the device.
The command MAY complain if `--testnet` is set, but the BIP32 coin type is not `1h` (and vice versa).
## How Bitcoin Core uses the Signer API
The `enumeratesigners` RPC simply calls `<cmd> enumerate`.
The `createwallet` RPC calls:
* `<cmd> --fingerprint=00000000 getdescriptors 0`
It then imports descriptors for all support address types, in a BIP44/49/84 compatible manner.
The `walletdisplayaddress` RPC reuses some code from `getaddressinfo` on the provided address and obtains the inferred descriptor. It then calls `<cmd> --fingerprint=00000000 displayaddress --desc=<descriptor>`.
`sendtoaddress` and `sendmany` check `inputs->bip32_derivs` to see if any inputs have the same `master_fingerprint` as the signer. If so, it calls `<cmd> --fingerprint=00000000 signtransaction <psbt>`. It waits for the device to return a (partially) signed psbt, tries to finalize it and broadcasts the transaction.

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/build-android.md | ANDROID BUILD NOTES
======================
This guide describes how to build and package the `bitcoin-qt` GUI for Android on Linux and macOS.
## Dependencies
Before proceeding with an Android build one needs to get the [Android SDK](https://developer.android.com/studio) and use the "SDK Manager" tool to download the NDK and one or more "Platform packages" (these are Android versions and have a corresponding API level).
The minimum supported Android NDK version is [r23](https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Changelog-r23).
In order to build `ANDROID_API_LEVEL` (API level corresponding to the Android version targeted, e.g. Android 9.0 Pie is 28 and its "Platform package" needs to be available) and `ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_BIN` (path to toolchain binaries depending on the platform the build is being performed on) need to be set.
API levels from 24 to 29 have been tested to work.
If the build includes Qt, environment variables `ANDROID_SDK` and `ANDROID_NDK` need to be set as well but can otherwise be omitted.
This is an example command for a default build with no disabled dependencies:
ANDROID_SDK=/home/user/Android/Sdk ANDROID_NDK=/home/user/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle make HOST=aarch64-linux-android ANDROID_API_LEVEL=28 ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_BIN=/home/user/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin
## Building and packaging
After the depends are built configure with one of the resulting prefixes and run `make && make apk` in `src/qt`. | 0 |
bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/init.md | Sample init scripts and service configuration for bitcoind
==========================================================
Sample scripts and configuration files for systemd, Upstart and OpenRC
can be found in the contrib/init folder.
contrib/init/bitcoind.service: systemd service unit configuration
contrib/init/bitcoind.openrc: OpenRC compatible SysV style init script
contrib/init/bitcoind.openrcconf: OpenRC conf.d file
contrib/init/bitcoind.conf: Upstart service configuration file
contrib/init/bitcoind.init: CentOS compatible SysV style init script
Service User
---------------------------------
All three Linux startup configurations assume the existence of a "bitcoin" user
and group. They must be created before attempting to use these scripts.
The macOS configuration assumes bitcoind will be set up for the current user.
Configuration
---------------------------------
Running bitcoind as a daemon does not require any manual configuration. You may
set the `rpcauth` setting in the `bitcoin.conf` configuration file to override
the default behaviour of using a special cookie for authentication.
This password does not have to be remembered or typed as it is mostly used
as a fixed token that bitcoind and client programs read from the configuration
file, however it is recommended that a strong and secure password be used
as this password is security critical to securing the wallet should the
wallet be enabled.
If bitcoind is run with the "-server" flag (set by default), and no rpcpassword is set,
it will use a special cookie file for authentication. The cookie is generated with random
content when the daemon starts, and deleted when it exits. Read access to this file
controls who can access it through RPC.
By default the cookie is stored in the data directory, but it's location can be overridden
with the option '-rpccookiefile'.
This allows for running bitcoind without having to do any manual configuration.
`conf`, `pid`, and `wallet` accept relative paths which are interpreted as
relative to the data directory. `wallet` *only* supports relative paths.
For an example configuration file that describes the configuration settings,
see `share/examples/bitcoin.conf`.
Paths
---------------------------------
### Linux
All three configurations assume several paths that might need to be adjusted.
Binary: /usr/bin/bitcoind
Configuration file: /etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
Data directory: /var/lib/bitcoind
PID file: /var/run/bitcoind/bitcoind.pid (OpenRC and Upstart) or
/run/bitcoind/bitcoind.pid (systemd)
Lock file: /var/lock/subsys/bitcoind (CentOS)
The PID directory (if applicable) and data directory should both be owned by the
bitcoin user and group. It is advised for security reasons to make the
configuration file and data directory only readable by the bitcoin user and
group. Access to bitcoin-cli and other bitcoind rpc clients can then be
controlled by group membership.
NOTE: When using the systemd .service file, the creation of the aforementioned
directories and the setting of their permissions is automatically handled by
systemd. Directories are given a permission of 710, giving the bitcoin group
access to files under it _if_ the files themselves give permission to the
bitcoin group to do so. This does not allow
for the listing of files under the directory.
NOTE: It is not currently possible to override `datadir` in
`/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf` with the current systemd, OpenRC, and Upstart init
files out-of-the-box. This is because the command line options specified in the
init files take precedence over the configurations in
`/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`. However, some init systems have their own
configuration mechanisms that would allow for overriding the command line
options specified in the init files (e.g. setting `BITCOIND_DATADIR` for
OpenRC).
### macOS
Binary: /usr/local/bin/bitcoind
Configuration file: ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
Data directory: ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin
Lock file: ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/.lock
Installing Service Configuration
-----------------------------------
### systemd
Installing this .service file consists of just copying it to
/usr/lib/systemd/system directory, followed by the command
`systemctl daemon-reload` in order to update running systemd configuration.
To test, run `systemctl start bitcoind` and to enable for system startup run
`systemctl enable bitcoind`
NOTE: When installing for systemd in Debian/Ubuntu the .service file needs to be copied to the /lib/systemd/system directory instead.
### OpenRC
Rename bitcoind.openrc to bitcoind and drop it in /etc/init.d. Double
check ownership and permissions and make it executable. Test it with
`/etc/init.d/bitcoind start` and configure it to run on startup with
`rc-update add bitcoind`
### Upstart (for Debian/Ubuntu based distributions)
Upstart is the default init system for Debian/Ubuntu versions older than 15.04. If you are using version 15.04 or newer and haven't manually configured upstart you should follow the systemd instructions instead.
Drop bitcoind.conf in /etc/init. Test by running `service bitcoind start`
it will automatically start on reboot.
NOTE: This script is incompatible with CentOS 5 and Amazon Linux 2014 as they
use old versions of Upstart and do not supply the start-stop-daemon utility.
### CentOS
Copy bitcoind.init to /etc/init.d/bitcoind. Test by running `service bitcoind start`.
Using this script, you can adjust the path and flags to the bitcoind program by
setting the BITCOIND and FLAGS environment variables in the file
/etc/sysconfig/bitcoind. You can also use the DAEMONOPTS environment variable here.
### macOS
Copy org.bitcoin.bitcoind.plist into ~/Library/LaunchAgents. Load the launch agent by
running `launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.bitcoin.bitcoind.plist`.
This Launch Agent will cause bitcoind to start whenever the user logs in.
NOTE: This approach is intended for those wanting to run bitcoind as the current user.
You will need to modify org.bitcoin.bitcoind.plist if you intend to use it as a
Launch Daemon with a dedicated bitcoin user.
Auto-respawn
-----------------------------------
Auto respawning is currently only configured for Upstart and systemd.
Reasonable defaults have been chosen but YMMV.

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/i2p.md | # I2P support in Bitcoin Core
It is possible to run Bitcoin Core as an
[I2P (Invisible Internet Project)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P)
service and connect to such services.
This [glossary](https://geti2p.net/en/about/glossary) may be useful to get
started with I2P terminology.
## Run Bitcoin Core with an I2P router (proxy)
A running I2P router (proxy) is required with the [SAM](https://geti2p.net/en/docs/api/samv3)
application bridge enabled. The following routers are recommended for use with Bitcoin Core:
- [i2prouter (I2P Router)](https://geti2p.net), the official implementation in
Java. The SAM bridge is not enabled by default; it must be started manually,
or configured to start automatically, in the Clients page in the
router console (`http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients`) or in the `clients.config` file.
- [i2pd (I2P Daemon)](https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd)
([documentation](https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest)), a lighter
alternative in C++. It enables the SAM bridge by default.
Note the IP address and port the SAM proxy is listening to; usually, it is
`127.0.0.1:7656`.
Once an I2P router with SAM enabled is up and running, use the following Bitcoin
Core configuration options:
```
-i2psam=<ip:port>
I2P SAM proxy to reach I2P peers and accept I2P connections (default:
none)
-i2pacceptincoming
Whether to accept inbound I2P connections (default: 1). Ignored if
-i2psam is not set. Listening for inbound I2P connections is
done through the SAM proxy, not by binding to a local address and
port.
```
In a typical situation, this suffices:
```
bitcoind -i2psam=127.0.0.1:7656
```
## Additional configuration options related to I2P
```
-debug=i2p
```
Set the `debug=i2p` config logging option to see additional information in the
debug log about your I2P configuration and connections. Run `bitcoin-cli help
logging` for more information.
```
-onlynet=i2p
```
Make automatic outbound connections only to I2P addresses. Inbound and manual
connections are not affected by this option. It can be specified multiple times
to allow multiple networks, e.g. onlynet=onion, onlynet=i2p.
I2P support was added to Bitcoin Core in version 22.0 and there may be fewer I2P
peers than Tor or IP ones. Therefore, using I2P alone without other networks may
make a node more susceptible to [Sybil
attacks](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses#Sybil_attack). You can use
`bitcoin-cli -addrinfo` to see the number of I2P addresses known to your node.
Another consideration with `onlynet=i2p` is that the initial blocks download
phase when syncing up a new node can be very slow. This phase can be sped up by
using other networks, for instance `onlynet=onion`, at the same time.
In general, a node can be run with both onion and I2P hidden services (or
any/all of IPv4/IPv6/onion/I2P/CJDNS), which can provide a potential fallback if
one of the networks has issues.
## Persistent vs transient I2P addresses
The first time Bitcoin Core connects to the I2P router, it automatically
generates a persistent I2P address and its corresponding private key by default
or if `-i2pacceptincoming=1` is set. The private key is saved in a file named
`i2p_private_key` in the Bitcoin Core data directory. The persistent I2P
address is used for making outbound connections and accepting inbound
connections.
In the I2P network, the receiver of an inbound connection sees the address of
the initiator. This is unlike the Tor network, where the recipient does not
know who is connecting to it.
If your node is configured by setting `-i2pacceptincoming=0` to not accept
inbound I2P connections, then it will use a random transient I2P address for
itself on each outbound connection to make it harder to discriminate,
fingerprint or analyze it based on its I2P address.
I2P addresses are designed to be long-lived. Waiting for tunnels to be built
for every peer connection adds delay to connection setup time. Therefore, I2P
listening should only be turned off if really needed.
## Fetching I2P-related information from Bitcoin Core
There are several ways to see your I2P address in Bitcoin Core if accepting
incoming I2P connections (`-i2pacceptincoming`):
- in the "Local addresses" output of CLI `-netinfo`
- in the "localaddresses" output of RPC `getnetworkinfo`
- in the debug log (grep for `AddLocal`; the I2P address ends in `.b32.i2p`)
To see which I2P peers your node is connected to, use `bitcoin-cli -netinfo 4`
or the `getpeerinfo` RPC (e.g. `bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo`).
You can use the `getnodeaddresses` RPC to fetch a number of I2P peers known to your node; run `bitcoin-cli help getnodeaddresses` for details.
## Compatibility
Bitcoin Core uses the [SAM v3.1](https://geti2p.net/en/docs/api/samv3) protocol
to connect to the I2P network. Any I2P router that supports it can be used.
## Ports in I2P and Bitcoin Core
One particularity of SAM v3.1 is that it does not support ports,
unlike newer versions of SAM (v3.2 and up) that do support them and default the
port numbers to 0. From the point of view of peers that use newer versions of
SAM or other protocols that support ports, a SAM v3.1 peer is connecting to them
on port 0, from source port 0.
To allow future upgrades to newer versions of SAM, Bitcoin Core sets its
listening port to 0 when listening for incoming I2P connections and advertises
its own I2P address with port 0. Furthermore, it will not attempt to connect to
I2P addresses with a non-zero port number because with SAM v3.1 the destination
port (`TO_PORT`) is always set to 0 and is not in the control of Bitcoin Core.
## Bandwidth
By default, your node shares bandwidth and transit tunnels with the I2P network
in order to increase your anonymity with cover traffic, help the I2P router used
by your node integrate optimally with the network, and give back to the network.
It's important that the nodes of a popular application like Bitcoin contribute
as much to the I2P network as they consume.
It is possible, though strongly discouraged, to change your I2P router
configuration to limit the amount of I2P traffic relayed by your node.
With `i2pd`, this can be done by adjusting the `bandwidth`, `share` and
`transittunnels` options in your `i2pd.conf` file. For example, to limit total
I2P traffic to 256KB/s and share 50% of this limit for a maximum of 20 transit
tunnels:
```
bandwidth = 256
share = 50
[limits]
transittunnels = 20
```
Similar bandwidth configuration options for the Java I2P router can be found in
`http://127.0.0.1:7657/config` under the "Bandwidth" tab.
Before doing this, please see the "Participating Traffic Considerations" section
in [Embedding I2P in your Application](https://geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/embedding).
In most cases, the default router settings should work fine.
## Bundling I2P in a Bitcoin application
Please see the "General Guidance for Developers" section in https://geti2p.net/en/docs/api/samv3
if you are developing a downstream application that may be bundling I2P with Bitcoin.

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/translation_process.md | Translations
============
The Bitcoin-Core project has been designed to support multiple localisations. This makes adding new phrases, and completely new languages easily achievable. For managing all application translations, Bitcoin-Core makes use of the Transifex online translation management tool.
### Helping to translate (using Transifex)
Transifex is setup to monitor the GitHub repo for updates, and when code containing new translations is found, Transifex will process any changes. It may take several hours after a pull-request has been merged, to appear in the Transifex web interface.
Multiple language support is critical in assisting Bitcoin’s global adoption, and growth. One of Bitcoin’s greatest strengths is cross-border money transfers, any help making that easier is greatly appreciated.
See the [Transifex Bitcoin project](https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/) to assist in translations. You should also join the translation mailing list for announcements - see details below.
### Writing code with translations
We use automated scripts to help extract translations in both Qt, and non-Qt source files. It is rarely necessary to manually edit the files in `src/qt/locale/`. The translation source files must adhere to the following format:
`bitcoin_xx_YY.ts or bitcoin_xx.ts`
`src/qt/locale/bitcoin_en.ts` is treated in a special way. It is used as the source for all other translations. Whenever a string in the source code is changed, this file must be updated to reflect those changes. A custom script is used to extract strings from the non-Qt parts. This script makes use of `gettext`, so make sure that utility is installed (ie, `apt-get install gettext` on Ubuntu/Debian). Once this has been updated, `lupdate` (included in the Qt SDK) is used to update `bitcoin_en.ts`.
To automatically regenerate the `bitcoin_en.ts` file, run the following commands:
```sh
cd src/
make translate
```
**Example Qt translation**
```cpp
QToolBar *toolbar = addToolBar(tr("Tabs toolbar"));
```
### Creating a pull-request
For general PRs, you shouldn’t include any updates to the translation source files. They will be updated periodically, primarily around pre-releases, allowing time for any new phrases to be translated before public releases. This is also important in avoiding translation related merge conflicts.
When an updated source file is merged into the GitHub repo, Transifex will automatically detect it (although it can take several hours). Once processed, the new strings will show up as "Remaining" in the Transifex web interface and are ready for translators.
To create the pull-request, use the following commands:
```
git add src/qt/bitcoinstrings.cpp src/qt/locale/bitcoin_en.ts
git commit
```
### Creating a Transifex account
Visit the [Transifex Signup](https://www.transifex.com/signup/) page to create an account. Take note of your username and password, as they will be required to configure the command-line tool.
You can find the Bitcoin translation project at [https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/](https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/).
### Installing the Transifex client command-line tool
The client is used to fetch updated translations. If you are having problems, or need more details, see [https://docs.transifex.com/client/installing-the-client](https://docs.transifex.com/client/installing-the-client)
`pip install transifex-client`
Setup your Transifex client config as follows. Please *ignore the token field*.
```ini
nano ~/.transifexrc
[https://www.transifex.com]
hostname = https://www.transifex.com
password = PASSWORD
token =
username = USERNAME
```
The Transifex Bitcoin project config file is included as part of the repo. It can be found at `.tx/config`, however you shouldn’t need to change anything.
### Synchronising translations
To assist in updating translations, a helper script is available in the [maintainer-tools repo](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-maintainer-tools). To use it and commit the result, simply do:
```
python3 ../bitcoin-maintainer-tools/update-translations.py
git commit -a
```
**Do not directly download translations** one by one from the Transifex website, as we do a few post-processing steps before committing the translations.
### Handling Plurals (in source files)
When new plurals are added to the source file, it's important to do the following steps:
1. Open `bitcoin_en.ts` in Qt Linguist (included in the Qt SDK)
2. Search for `%n`, which will take you to the parts in the translation that use plurals
3. Look for empty `English Translation (Singular)` and `English Translation (Plural)` fields
4. Add the appropriate strings for the singular and plural form of the base string
5. Mark the item as done (via the green arrow symbol in the toolbar)
6. Repeat from step 2, until all singular and plural forms are in the source file
7. Save the source file
### Translating a new language
To create a new language template, you will need to edit the languages manifest file `src/qt/bitcoin_locale.qrc` and add a new entry. Below is an example of the English language entry.
```xml
<qresource prefix="/translations">
<file alias="en">locale/bitcoin_en.qm</file>
...
</qresource>
```
**Note:** that the language translation file **must end in `.qm`** (the compiled extension), and not `.ts`.
### Questions and general assistance
If you are a translator, you should also subscribe to the mailing list, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bitcoin-translators. Announcements will be posted during application pre-releases to notify translators to check for updates.

\section intro_sec Introduction
This is the developer documentation of the reference client for an experimental new digital currency called Bitcoin,
which enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate
with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network.
The software is a community-driven open source project, released under the MIT license.
See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin and https://bitcoincore.org/ for further information about the project.

General
------
### Cache compilations with `ccache`
The easiest way to faster compile times is to cache compiles. `ccache` is a way to do so, from its description at the time of writing:
> ccache is a compiler cache. It speeds up recompilation by caching the result of previous compilations and detecting when the same compilation is being done again. Supported languages are C, C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++.
Install `ccache` through your distribution's package manager, and run `./configure` with your normal flags to pick it up.
To use ccache for all your C/C++ projects, follow the symlinks method [here](https://ccache.samba.org/manual/latest.html#_run_modes) to set it up.
To get the most out of ccache, put something like this in `~/.ccache/ccache.conf`:
```
max_size = 50.0G # or whatever cache size you prefer; default is 5G; 0 means unlimited
base_dir = /home/yourname # or wherever you keep your source files
```
Note: base_dir is required for ccache to share cached compiles of the same file across different repositories / paths; it will only do this for paths under base_dir. So this option is required for effective use of ccache with git worktrees (described below).
You _must not_ set base_dir to "/", or anywhere that contains system headers (according to the ccache docs).
### Disable features with `./configure`
After running `./autogen.sh`, which generates the `./configure` file, use `./configure --help` to identify features that you can disable to save on compilation time. A few common flags:
```sh
--without-miniupnpc
--without-natpmp
--disable-bench
--disable-wallet
--without-gui
```
If you do need the wallet enabled, it is common for devs to add `--with-incompatible-bdb`. This uses your system bdb version for the wallet, so you don't have to find a copy of bdb 4.8. Wallets from such a build will be incompatible with any release binary (and vice versa), so use with caution on mainnet.
### Make use of your threads with `make -j`
If you have multiple threads on your machine, you can tell `make` to utilize all of them with:
```sh
make -j"$(($(nproc)+1))"
```
### Only build what you need
When rebuilding during development, note that running `make`, without giving a target, will do a lot of work you probably don't need. It will build the GUI (unless you've disabled it) and all the tests (which take much longer to build than the app does).
Obviously, it is important to build and run the tests at appropriate times -- but when you just want a quick compile to check your work, consider picking one or a set of build targets relevant to what you're working on, e.g.:
```sh
make src/bitcoind src/bitcoin-cli
make src/qt/bitcoin-qt
make -C src bitcoin_bench
```
(You can and should combine this with `-j`, as above, for a parallel build.)
### Compile on multiple machines
If you have more than one computer at your disposal, you can use [distcc](https://www.distcc.org) to speed up compilation. This is easiest when all computers run the same operating system and compiler version.
### Multiple working directories with `git worktrees`
If you work with multiple branches or multiple copies of the repository, you should try `git worktrees`.
To create a new branch that lives under a new working directory without disrupting your current working directory (useful for creating pull requests):
```sh
git worktree add -b my-shiny-new-branch ../living-at-my-new-working-directory based-on-my-crufty-old-commit-ish
```
To simply check out a commit-ish under a new working directory without disrupting your current working directory (useful for reviewing pull requests):
```sh
git worktree add --checkout ../where-my-checkout-commit-ish-will-live my-checkout-commit-ish
```
### Interactive "dummy rebases" for fixups and execs with `git merge-base`
When rebasing, we often want to do a "dummy rebase," whereby we are not rebasing over an updated master but rather over the last common commit with master. This might be useful for rearranging commits, `rebase --autosquash`ing, or `rebase --exec`ing without introducing conflicts that arise from an updated master. In these situations, we can use `git merge-base` to identify the last common commit with master, and rebase off of that.
To squash in `git commit --fixup` commits without rebasing over an updated master, we can do the following:
```sh
git rebase -i --autosquash "$(git merge-base master HEAD)"
```
To execute `make check` on every commit since last diverged from master, but without rebasing over an updated master, we can do the following:
```sh
git rebase -i --exec "make check" "$(git merge-base master HEAD)"
```
-----
This synergizes well with [`ccache`](#cache-compilations-with-ccache) as objects resulting from unchanged code will most likely hit the cache and won't need to be recompiled.
You can also set up [upstream refspecs](#reference-prs-easily-with-refspecs) to refer to pull requests easier in the above `git worktree` commands.
Writing code
------------
### Format C/C++ diffs with `clang-format-diff.py`
See [contrib/devtools/README.md](/contrib/devtools/README.md#clang-format-diff.py).
### Format Python diffs with `yapf-diff.py`
Usage is exactly the same as [`clang-format-diff.py`](#format-cc-diffs-with-clang-format-diffpy). You can get it [here](https://github.com/MarcoFalke/yapf-diff).
Rebasing/Merging code
-------------
### More conflict context with `merge.conflictstyle diff3`
For resolving merge/rebase conflicts, it can be useful to enable diff3 style using `git config merge.conflictstyle diff3`. Instead of
```diff
<<<
yours
===
theirs
>>>
```
you will see
```diff
<<<
yours
|||
original
===
theirs
>>>
```
This may make it much clearer what caused the conflict. In this style, you can often just look at what changed between *original* and *theirs*, and mechanically apply that to *yours* (or the other way around).
Reviewing code
--------------
### Reduce mental load with `git diff` options
When reviewing patches which change indentation in C++ files, use `git diff -w` and `git show -w`. This makes the diff algorithm ignore whitespace changes. This feature is also available on github.com, by adding `?w=1` at the end of any URL which shows a diff.
When reviewing patches that change symbol names in many places, use `git diff --word-diff`. This will instead of showing the patch as deleted/added *lines*, show deleted/added *words*.
When reviewing patches that move code around, try using `git diff --patience commit~:old/file.cpp commit:new/file/name.cpp`, and ignoring everything except the moved body of code which should show up as neither `+` or `-` lines. In case it was not a pure move, this may even work when combined with the `-w` or `--word-diff` options described above. `--color-moved=dimmed-zebra` will also dim the coloring of moved hunks in the diff on compatible terminals.
### Reference PRs easily with `refspec`s
When looking at other's pull requests, it may make sense to add the following section to your `.git/config` file:
```
[remote "upstream-pull"]
fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/upstream-pull/*
url = git@github.com:bitcoin/bitcoin.git
```
This will add an `upstream-pull` remote to your git repository, which can be fetched using `git fetch --all` or `git fetch upstream-pull`. It will download and store on disk quite a lot of data (all PRs, including merged and closed ones). Afterwards, you can use `upstream-pull/NUMBER/head` in arguments to `git show`, `git checkout` and anywhere a commit id would be acceptable to see the changes from pull request NUMBER.
### Diff the diffs with `git range-diff`
It is very common for contributors to rebase their pull requests, or make changes to commits (perhaps in response to review) that are not at the head of their branch. This poses a problem for reviewers as when the contributor force pushes, the reviewer is no longer sure that his previous reviews of commits are still valid (as the commit hashes can now be different even though the diff is semantically the same). [git range-diff](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-range-diff) (Git >= 2.19) can help solve this problem by diffing the diffs.
For example, to identify the differences between your previously reviewed diffs P1-5, and the new diffs P1-2,N3-4 as illustrated below:
```
P1--P2--P3--P4--P5 <-- previously-reviewed-head
/
...--m <-- master
\
P1--P2--N3--N4--N5 <-- new-head (with P3 slightly modified)
```
You can do:
```sh
git range-diff master previously-reviewed-head new-head
```
Note that `git range-diff` also work for rebases:
```
P1--P2--P3--P4--P5 <-- previously-reviewed-head
/
...--m--m1--m2--m3 <-- master
\
P1--P2--N3--N4 <-- new-head (with P3 modified, P4 & P5 squashed)
PREV=P5 N=4 && git range-diff `git merge-base --all HEAD $PREV`...$PREV HEAD~$N...HEAD
```
Where `P5` is the commit you last reviewed and `4` is the number of commits in the new version.
-----
`git range-diff` also accepts normal `git diff` options, see [Reduce mental load with `git diff` options](#reduce-mental-load-with-git-diff-options) for useful `git diff` options.
You can also set up [upstream refspecs](#reference-prs-easily-with-refspecs) to refer to pull requests easier in the above `git range-diff` commands.

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/build-freebsd.md | # FreeBSD Build Guide
**Updated for FreeBSD [12.3](https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.3R/announce/)**
This guide describes how to build bitcoind, command-line utilities, and GUI on FreeBSD.
## Preparation
### 1. Install Required Dependencies
Run the following as root to install the base dependencies for building.
```bash
pkg install autoconf automake boost-libs git gmake libevent libtool pkgconf
```
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
### 2. Clone Bitcoin Repo
Now that `git` and all the required dependencies are installed, let's clone the Bitcoin Core repository to a directory. All build scripts and commands will run from this directory.
``` bash
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
```
### 3. Install Optional Dependencies
#### Wallet Dependencies
It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run either `bitcoind` or `bitcoin-qt`.
###### Descriptor Wallet Support
`sqlite3` is required to support [descriptor wallets](descriptors.md).
Skip if you don't intend to use descriptor wallets.
``` bash
pkg install sqlite3
```
###### Legacy Wallet Support
BerkeleyDB is only required if legacy wallet support is required.
It is required to use Berkeley DB 4.8. You **cannot** use the BerkeleyDB library
from ports. However, you can build DB 4.8 yourself [using depends](/depends).
```
gmake -C depends NO_BOOST=1 NO_LIBEVENT=1 NO_QT=1 NO_SQLITE=1 NO_NATPMP=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_ZMQ=1 NO_USDT=1
```
When the build is complete, the Berkeley DB installation location will be displayed:
```
to: /path/to/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-unknown-freebsd[release-number]
```
Finally, set `BDB_PREFIX` to this path according to your shell:
```
csh: setenv BDB_PREFIX [path displayed above]
```
```
sh/bash: export BDB_PREFIX=[path displayed above]
```
#### GUI Dependencies
###### Qt5
Bitcoin Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework. To compile the GUI, we need to install `qt5`. Skip if you don't intend to use the GUI.
```bash
pkg install qt5
```
###### libqrencode
The GUI can encode addresses in a QR Code. To build in QR support for the GUI, install `libqrencode`. Skip if not using the GUI or don't want QR code functionality.
```bash
pkg install libqrencode
```
---
#### Notifications
###### ZeroMQ
Bitcoin Core can provide notifications via ZeroMQ. If the package is installed, support will be compiled in.
```bash
pkg install libzmq4
```
#### Test Suite Dependencies
There is an included test suite that is useful for testing code changes when developing.
To run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:
```bash
pkg install python3 databases/py-sqlite3
```
---
## Building Bitcoin Core
### 1. Configuration
There are many ways to configure Bitcoin Core, here are a few common examples:
##### Descriptor Wallet and GUI:
This explicitly enables the GUI and disables legacy wallet support, assuming `sqlite` and `qt` are installed.
```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-bdb --with-gui=yes MAKE=gmake
```
##### Descriptor & Legacy Wallet. No GUI:
This enables support for both wallet types and disables the GUI, assuming
`sqlite3` and `db4` are both installed.
```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no \
BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \
BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" \
MAKE=gmake
```
##### No Wallet or GUI
``` bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-wallet --with-gui=no MAKE=gmake
```
### 2. Compile
**Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error).
```bash
gmake # use "-j N" for N parallel jobs
gmake check # Run tests if Python 3 is available
```

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/tracing.md | # User-space, Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) for Bitcoin Core
Bitcoin Core includes statically defined tracepoints to allow for more
observability during development, debugging, code review, and production usage.
These tracepoints make it possible to keep track of custom statistics and
enable detailed monitoring of otherwise hidden internals. They have
little to no performance impact when unused.
```

1. The tracing script compiles the eBPF code and loads the eBPF program into a kernel VM
2. The eBPF program hooks into one or more tracepoints
3. When the tracepoint is called, the arguments are passed to the eBPF program
4. The eBPF program processes the arguments and returns data to the tracing script
```
The Linux kernel can hook into the tracepoints during runtime and pass data to
sandboxed [eBPF] programs running in the kernel. These eBPF programs can, for
example, collect statistics or pass data back to user-space scripts for further
processing.
[eBPF]: https://ebpf.io/
The two main eBPF front-ends with support for USDT are [bpftrace] and
[BPF Compiler Collection (BCC)]. BCC is used for complex tools and daemons and
`bpftrace` is preferred for one-liners and shorter scripts. Examples for both can
be found in [contrib/tracing].
[bpftrace]: https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace
[BPF Compiler Collection (BCC)]: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc

## Tracepoint documentation
The currently available tracepoints are listed here.
### Context `net`
#### Tracepoint `net:inbound_message`
Is called when a message is received from a peer over the P2P network. Passes
information about our peer, the connection and the message as arguments.
Arguments passed:
1. Peer ID as `int64`
2. Peer Address and Port (IPv4, IPv6, Tor v3, I2P, ...) as `pointer to C-style String` (max. length 68 characters)
3. Connection Type (inbound, feeler, outbound-full-relay, ...) as `pointer to C-style String` (max. length 20 characters)
4. Message Type (inv, ping, getdata, addrv2, ...) as `pointer to C-style String` (max. length 20 characters)
5. Message Size in bytes as `uint64`
6. Message Bytes as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. bytes)
Note: The message is passed to the tracepoint in full, however, due to space
limitations in the eBPF kernel VM it might not be possible to pass the message
to user-space in full. Messages longer than a 32kb might be cut off. This can
be detected in tracing scripts by comparing the message size to the length of
the passed message.
#### Tracepoint `net:outbound_message`
Is called when a message is sent to a peer over the P2P network. Passes
information about our peer, the connection and the message as arguments.
Arguments passed:
1. Peer ID as `int64`
2. Peer Address and Port (IPv4, IPv6, Tor v3, I2P, ...) as `pointer to C-style String` (max. length 68 characters)
3. Connection Type (inbound, feeler, outbound-full-relay, ...) as `pointer to C-style String` (max. length 20 characters)
4. Message Type (inv, ping, getdata, addrv2, ...) as `pointer to C-style String` (max. length 20 characters)
5. Message Size in bytes as `uint64`
6. Message Bytes as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. bytes)
Note: The message is passed to the tracepoint in full, however, due to space
limitations in the eBPF kernel VM it might not be possible to pass the message
to user-space in full. Messages longer than a 32kb might be cut off. This can
be detected in tracing scripts by comparing the message size to the length of
the passed message.
### Context `validation`
#### Tracepoint `validation:block_connected`
Is called *after* a block is connected to the chain. Can, for example, be used
to benchmark block connections together with `-reindex`.
Arguments passed:
1. Block Header Hash as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. 32 bytes in little-endian)
2. Block Height as `int32`
3. Transactions in the Block as `uint64`
4. Inputs spend in the Block as `int32`
5. SigOps in the Block (excluding coinbase SigOps) `uint64`
6. Time it took to connect the Block in microseconds (µs) as `uint64`
### Context `utxocache`
The following tracepoints cover the in-memory UTXO cache. UTXOs are, for example,
added to and removed (spent) from the cache when we connect a new block.
**Note**: Bitcoin Core uses temporary clones of the _main_ UTXO cache
(`chainstate.CoinsTip()`). For example, the RPCs `generateblock` and
`getblocktemplate` call `TestBlockValidity()`, which applies the UTXO set
changes to a temporary cache. Similarly, mempool consistency checks, which are
frequent on regtest, also apply the UTXO set changes to a temporary cache.
Changes to the _main_ UTXO cache and to temporary caches trigger the tracepoints.
We can't tell if a temporary cache or the _main_ cache was changed.
#### Tracepoint `utxocache:flush`
Is called *after* the in-memory UTXO cache is flushed.
Arguments passed:
1. Time it took to flush the cache microseconds as `int64`
2. Flush state mode as `uint32`. It's an enumerator class with values `0`
(`NONE`), `1` (`IF_NEEDED`), `2` (`PERIODIC`), `3` (`ALWAYS`)
3. Cache size (number of coins) before the flush as `uint64`
4. Cache memory usage in bytes as `uint64`
5. If pruning caused the flush as `bool`
#### Tracepoint `utxocache:add`
Is called when a coin is added to a UTXO cache. This can be a temporary UTXO cache too.
Arguments passed:
1. Transaction ID (hash) as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. 32 bytes in little-endian)
2. Output index as `uint32`
3. Block height the coin was added to the UTXO-set as `uint32`
4. Value of the coin as `int64`
5. If the coin is a coinbase as `bool`
#### Tracepoint `utxocache:spent`
Is called when a coin is spent from a UTXO cache. This can be a temporary UTXO cache too.
Arguments passed:
1. Transaction ID (hash) as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. 32 bytes in little-endian)
2. Output index as `uint32`
3. Block height the coin was spent, as `uint32`
4. Value of the coin as `int64`
5. If the coin is a coinbase as `bool`
#### Tracepoint `utxocache:uncache`
Is called when a coin is purposefully unloaded from a UTXO cache. This
happens, for example, when we load an UTXO into a cache when trying to accept
a transaction that turns out to be invalid. The loaded UTXO is uncached to avoid
filling our UTXO cache up with irrelevant UTXOs.
Arguments passed:
1. Transaction ID (hash) as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. 32 bytes in little-endian)
2. Output index as `uint32`
3. Block height the coin was uncached, as `uint32`
4. Value of the coin as `int64`
5. If the coin is a coinbase as `bool`
### Context `coin_selection`
#### Tracepoint `coin_selection:selected_coins`
Is called when `SelectCoins` completes.
Arguments passed:
1. Wallet name as `pointer to C-style string`
2. Coin selection algorithm name as `pointer to C-style string`
3. Selection target value as `int64`
4. Calculated waste metric of the solution as `int64`
5. Total value of the selected inputs as `int64`
#### Tracepoint `coin_selection:normal_create_tx_internal`
Is called when the first `CreateTransactionInternal` completes.
Arguments passed:
1. Wallet name as `pointer to C-style string`
2. Whether `CreateTransactionInternal` succeeded as `bool`
3. The expected transaction fee as an `int64`
4. The position of the change output as an `int32`
#### Tracepoint `coin_selection:attempting_aps_create_tx`
Is called when `CreateTransactionInternal` is called the second time for the optimistic
Avoid Partial Spends selection attempt. This is used to determine whether the next
tracepoints called are for the Avoid Partial Spends solution, or a different transaction.
Arguments passed:
1. Wallet name as `pointer to C-style string`
#### Tracepoint `coin_selection:aps_create_tx_internal`
Is called when the second `CreateTransactionInternal` with Avoid Partial Spends enabled completes.
Arguments passed:
1. Wallet name as `pointer to C-style string`
2. Whether the Avoid Partial Spends solution will be used as `bool`
3. Whether `CreateTransactionInternal` succeeded as` bool`
4. The expected transaction fee as an `int64`
5. The position of the change output as an `int32`
### Context `mempool`
#### Tracepoint `mempool:added`
Is called when a transaction is added to the node's mempool. Passes information
about the transaction.
Arguments passed:
1. Transaction ID (hash) as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. 32 bytes in little-endian)
2. Transaction virtual size as `int32`
3. Transaction fee as `int64`
#### Tracepoint `mempool:removed`
Is called when a transaction is removed from the node's mempool. Passes information
about the transaction.
Arguments passed:
1. Transaction ID (hash) as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. 32 bytes in little-endian)
2. Removal reason as `pointer to C-style String` (max. length 9 characters)
3. Transaction virtual size as `int32`
4. Transaction fee as `int64`
5. Transaction mempool entry time (epoch) as `uint64`
#### Tracepoint `mempool:replaced`
Is called when a transaction in the node's mempool is getting replaced by another.
Passes information about the replaced and replacement transactions.
Arguments passed:
1. Replaced transaction ID (hash) as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. 32 bytes in little-endian)
2. Replaced transaction virtual size as `int32`
3. Replaced transaction fee as `int64`
4. Replaced transaction mempool entry time (epoch) as `uint64`
5. Replacement transaction ID (hash) as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. 32 bytes in little-endian)
6. Replacement transaction virtual size as `int32`
7. Replacement transaction fee as `int64`
Note: In cases where a single replacement transaction replaces multiple
existing transactions in the mempool, the tracepoint is called once for each
replaced transaction, with data of the replacement transaction being the same
in each call.
#### Tracepoint `mempool:rejected`
Is called when a transaction is not permitted to enter the mempool. Passes
information about the rejected transaction.
Arguments passed:
1. Transaction ID (hash) as `pointer to unsigned chars` (i.e. 32 bytes in little-endian)
2. Reject reason as `pointer to C-style String` (max. length 118 characters)
## Adding tracepoints to Bitcoin Core
To add a new tracepoint, `#include <util/trace.h>` in the compilation unit where
the tracepoint is inserted. Use one of the `TRACEx` macros listed below
depending on the number of arguments passed to the tracepoint. Up to 12
arguments can be provided. The `context` and `event` specify the names by which
the tracepoint is referred to. Please use `snake_case` and try to make sure that
the tracepoint names make sense even without detailed knowledge of the
implementation details. Do not forget to update the tracepoint list in this
document.
```c
#define TRACE(context, event)
#define TRACE1(context, event, a)
#define TRACE2(context, event, a, b)
#define TRACE3(context, event, a, b, c)
#define TRACE4(context, event, a, b, c, d)
#define TRACE5(context, event, a, b, c, d, e)
#define TRACE6(context, event, a, b, c, d, e, f)
#define TRACE7(context, event, a, b, c, d, e, f, g)
#define TRACE8(context, event, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h)
#define TRACE9(context, event, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
#define TRACE10(context, event, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j)
#define TRACE11(context, event, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k)
#define TRACE12(context, event, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l)
```
For example:
```C++
TRACE6(net, inbound_message,
pnode->GetId(),
pnode->m_addr_name.c_str(),
pnode->ConnectionTypeAsString().c_str(),
sanitizedType.c_str(),
msg.data.size(),
msg.data.data()
);
```
### Guidelines and best practices
#### Clear motivation and use case
Tracepoints need a clear motivation and use case. The motivation should
outweigh the impact on, for example, code readability. There is no point in
adding tracepoints that don't end up being used.
#### Provide an example
When adding a new tracepoint, provide an example. Examples can show the use case
and help reviewers testing that the tracepoint works as intended. The examples
can be kept simple but should give others a starting point when working with
the tracepoint. See existing examples in [contrib/tracing/].
[contrib/tracing/]: ../contrib/tracing/
#### No expensive computations for tracepoints
Data passed to the tracepoint should be inexpensive to compute. Although the
tracepoint itself only has overhead when enabled, the code to compute arguments
is always run - even if the tracepoint is not used. For example, avoid
serialization and parsing.
#### Semi-stable API
Tracepoints should have a semi-stable API. Users should be able to rely on the
tracepoints for scripting. This means tracepoints need to be documented, and the
argument order ideally should not change. If there is an important reason to
change argument order, make sure to document the change and update the examples
using the tracepoint.
#### eBPF Virtual Machine limits
Keep the eBPF Virtual Machine limits in mind. eBPF programs receiving data from
the tracepoints run in a sandboxed Linux kernel VM. This VM has a limited stack
size of 512 bytes. Check if it makes sense to pass larger amounts of data, for
example, with a tracing script that can handle the passed data.
#### `bpftrace` argument limit
While tracepoints can have up to 12 arguments, bpftrace scripts currently only
support reading from the first six arguments (`arg0` till `arg5`) on `x86_64`.
bpftrace currently lacks real support for handling and printing binary data,
like block header hashes and txids. When a tracepoint passes more than six
arguments, then string and integer arguments should preferably be placed in the
first six argument fields. Binary data can be placed in later arguments. The BCC
supports reading from all 12 arguments.
#### Strings as C-style String
Generally, strings should be passed into the `TRACEx` macros as pointers to
C-style strings (a null-terminated sequence of characters). For C++
`std::strings`, [`c_str()`] can be used. It's recommended to document the
maximum expected string size if known.
[`c_str()`]: https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/c_str/
## Listing available tracepoints
Multiple tools can list the available tracepoints in a `bitcoind` binary with
USDT support.
### GDB - GNU Project Debugger
To list probes in Bitcoin Core, use `info probes` in `gdb`:
```
$ gdb ./src/bitcoind
…
(gdb) info probes
Type Provider Name Where Semaphore Object
stap net inbound_message 0x000000000014419e /src/bitcoind
stap net outbound_message 0x0000000000107c05 /src/bitcoind
stap validation block_connected 0x00000000002fb10c /src/bitcoind
…
```
### With `readelf`
The `readelf` tool can be used to display the USDT tracepoints in Bitcoin Core.
Look for the notes with the description `NT_STAPSDT`.
```
$ readelf -n ./src/bitcoind | grep NT_STAPSDT -A 4 -B 2
Displaying notes found in: .note.stapsdt
Owner Data size Description
stapsdt 0x0000005d NT_STAPSDT (SystemTap probe descriptors)
Provider: net
Name: outbound_message
Location: 0x0000000000107c05, Base: 0x0000000000579c90, Semaphore: 0x0000000000000000
Arguments: -8@%r12 8@%rbx 8@%rdi 8@192(%rsp) 8@%rax 8@%rdx
…
```
### With `tplist`
The `tplist` tool is provided by BCC (see [Installing BCC]). It displays kernel
tracepoints or USDT probes and their formats (for more information, see the
[`tplist` usage demonstration]). There are slight binary naming differences
between distributions. For example, on
[Ubuntu the binary is called `tplist-bpfcc`][ubuntu binary].

[`tplist` usage demonstration]: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/tplist_example.txt
[ubuntu binary]: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/INSTALL.md#ubuntu---binary

## Data directory location
The data directory is the default location where the Bitcoin Core files are stored.
1. The default data directory paths for supported platforms are:
Platform | Data directory path
---------|--------------------
Linux | `$HOME/.bitcoin/`
macOS | `$HOME/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/`
Windows | `%APPDATA%\Bitcoin\` <sup>[\[1\]](#note1)</sup>
2. A custom data directory path can be specified with the `-datadir` option.
3. All content of the data directory, except for `bitcoin.conf` file, is chain-specific. This means the actual data directory paths for non-mainnet cases differ:
Chain option | Data directory path
-------------------------------|------------------------------
`-chain=main` (default) | *path_to_datadir*`/`
`-chain=test` or `-testnet` | *path_to_datadir*`/testnet3/`
`-chain=signet` or `-signet` | *path_to_datadir*`/signet/`
`-chain=regtest` or `-regtest` | *path_to_datadir*`/regtest/`
## Data directory layout
Subdirectory | File(s) | Description
-------------------|-----------------------|------------
`blocks/` | | Blocks directory; can be specified by `-blocksdir` option (except for `blocks/index/`)
`blocks/index/` | LevelDB database | Block index; `-blocksdir` option does not affect this path
`blocks/` | `blkNNNNN.dat`<sup>[\[2\]](#note2)</sup> | Actual Bitcoin blocks (in network format, dumped in raw on disk, 128 MiB per file)
`blocks/` | `revNNNNN.dat`<sup>[\[2\]](#note2)</sup> | Block undo data (custom format)
`chainstate/` | LevelDB database | Blockchain state (a compact representation of all currently unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) and metadata about the transactions they are from)
`indexes/txindex/` | LevelDB database | Transaction index; *optional*, used if `-txindex=1`
`indexes/blockfilter/basic/db/` | LevelDB database | Blockfilter index LevelDB database for the basic filtertype; *optional*, used if `-blockfilterindex=basic`
`indexes/blockfilter/basic/` | `fltrNNNNN.dat`<sup>[\[2\]](#note2)</sup> | Blockfilter index filters for the basic filtertype; *optional*, used if `-blockfilterindex=basic`
`indexes/coinstats/db/` | LevelDB database | Coinstats index; *optional*, used if `-coinstatsindex=1`
`wallets/` | | [Contains wallets](#multi-wallet-environment); can be specified by `-walletdir` option; if `wallets/` subdirectory does not exist, wallets reside in the [data directory](#data-directory-location)
`./` | `anchors.dat` | Anchor IP address database, created on shutdown and deleted at startup. Anchors are last known outgoing block-relay-only peers that are tried to re-connect to on startup
`./` | `banlist.json` | Stores the addresses/subnets of banned nodes.
`./` | `bitcoin.conf` | User-defined [configuration settings](bitcoin-conf.md) for `bitcoind` or `bitcoin-qt`. File is not written to by the software and must be created manually. Path can be specified by `-conf` option
`./` | `bitcoind.pid` | Stores the process ID (PID) of `bitcoind` or `bitcoin-qt` while running; created at start and deleted on shutdown; can be specified by `-pid` option
`./` | `debug.log` | Contains debug information and general logging generated by `bitcoind` or `bitcoin-qt`; can be specified by `-debuglogfile` option
`./` | `fee_estimates.dat` | Stores statistics used to estimate minimum transaction fees required for confirmation
`./` | `guisettings.ini.bak` | Backup of former [GUI settings](#gui-settings) after `-resetguisettings` option is used
`./` | `ip_asn.map` | IP addresses to Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) mapping used for bucketing of the peers; path can be specified with the `-asmap` option
`./` | `mempool.dat` | Dump of the mempool's transactions
`./` | `onion_v3_private_key` | Cached Tor onion service private key for `-listenonion` option
`./` | `i2p_private_key` | Private key that corresponds to our I2P address. When `-i2psam=` is specified the contents of this file is used to identify ourselves for making outgoing connections to I2P peers and possibly accepting incoming ones. Automatically generated if it does not exist.
`./` | `peers.dat` | Peer IP address database (custom format)
`./` | `settings.json` | Read-write settings set through GUI or RPC interfaces, augmenting manual settings from [bitcoin.conf](bitcoin-conf.md). File is created automatically if read-write settings storage is not disabled with `-nosettings` option. Path can be specified with `-settings` option
`./` | `.cookie` | Session RPC authentication cookie; if used, created at start and deleted on shutdown; can be specified by `-rpccookiefile` option
`./` | `.lock` | Data directory lock file
## Multi-wallet environment
Wallets are Berkeley DB (BDB) or SQLite databases.
1. Each user-defined wallet named "wallet_name" resides in the `wallets/wallet_name/` subdirectory.
2. The default (unnamed) wallet resides in `wallets/` subdirectory; if the latter does not exist, the wallet resides in the data directory.
3. A wallet database path can be specified with the `-wallet` option.
4. `wallet.dat` files must not be shared across different node instances, as that can result in key-reuse and double-spends due the lack of synchronization between instances.
5. Any copy or backup of the wallet should be done through a `backupwallet` call in order to update and lock the wallet, preventing any file corruption caused by updates during the copy.
### Berkeley DB database based wallets
Subdirectory | File(s) | Description
-------------|-------------------|-------------
`database/` | BDB logging files | Part of BDB environment; created at start and deleted on shutdown; a user *must keep it as safe* as personal wallet `wallet.dat`
`./` | `db.log` | BDB error file
`./` | `wallet.dat` | Personal wallet (a BDB database) with keys and transactions
`./` | `.walletlock` | BDB wallet lock file
### SQLite database based wallets
Subdirectory | File | Description
-------------|----------------------|-------------
`./` | `wallet.dat` | Personal wallet (a SQLite database) with keys and transactions
`./` | `wallet.dat-journal` | SQLite Rollback Journal file for `wallet.dat`. Usually created at start and deleted on shutdown. A user *must keep it as safe* as the `wallet.dat` file.
## GUI settings
`bitcoin-qt` uses [`QSettings`](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsettings.html) class; this implies platform-specific [locations where application settings are stored](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsettings.html#locations-where-application-settings-are-stored).
## Legacy subdirectories and files
These subdirectories and files are no longer used by Bitcoin Core:

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/build-unix.md | UNIX BUILD NOTES
====================
Some notes on how to build Bitcoin Core in Unix.
(For BSD specific instructions, see `build-*bsd.md` in this directory.)
To Build
---------------------
```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure
make # use "-j N" for N parallel jobs
make install # optional
```
See below for instructions on how to [install the dependencies on popular Linux
distributions](#linux-distribution-specific-instructions), or the
[dependencies](#dependencies) section for a complete overview.
## Memory Requirements
C++ compilers are memory-hungry. It is recommended to have at least 1.5 GB of
memory available when compiling Bitcoin Core. On systems with less, gcc can be
tuned to conserve memory with additional CXXFLAGS:
./configure CXXFLAGS="--param ggc-min-expand=1 --param ggc-min-heapsize=32768"
Alternatively, or in addition, debugging information can be skipped for compilation. The default compile flags are
`-g -O2`, and can be changed with:
./configure CXXFLAGS="-O2"
Finally, clang (often less resource hungry) can be used instead of gcc, which is used by default:
./configure CXX=clang++ CC=clang
## Linux Distribution Specific Instructions
### Ubuntu & Debian
#### Dependency Build Instructions
Build requirements:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils python3
Now, you can either build from self-compiled [depends](#dependencies) or install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev libboost-dev
SQLite is required for the descriptor wallet:
sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
Berkeley DB is only required for the legacy wallet. Ubuntu and Debian have their own `libdb-dev` and `libdb++-dev` packages,
but these will install Berkeley DB 5.3 or later. This will break binary wallet compatibility with the distributed
executables, which are based on BerkeleyDB 4.8. If you do not care about wallet compatibility, pass
`--with-incompatible-bdb` to configure. Otherwise, you can build Berkeley DB [yourself](#berkeley-db).
To build Bitcoin Core without wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode)
Optional port mapping libraries (see: `--with-miniupnpc` and `--with-natpmp`):
sudo apt install libminiupnpc-dev libnatpmp-dev
ZMQ dependencies (provides ZMQ API):
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev
User-Space, Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) dependencies:
sudo apt install systemtap-sdt-dev
GUI dependencies:
If you want to build bitcoin-qt, make sure that the required packages for Qt development
are installed. Qt 5 is necessary to build the GUI.
To build without GUI pass `--without-gui`.
To build with Qt 5 you need the following:
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools
Additionally, to support Wayland protocol for modern desktop environments:
sudo apt install qtwayland5
libqrencode (optional) can be installed with:
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
Once these are installed, they will be found by configure and a bitcoin-qt executable will be
built by default.
### Fedora
#### Dependency Build Instructions
Build requirements:
sudo dnf install gcc-c++ libtool make autoconf automake python3
Now, you can either build from self-compiled [depends](#dependencies) or install the required dependencies:
sudo dnf install libevent-devel boost-devel
SQLite is required for the descriptor wallet:
sudo dnf install sqlite-devel
Berkeley DB is only required for the legacy wallet. Fedora releases have only `libdb-devel` and `libdb-cxx-devel` packages, but these will install
Berkeley DB 5.3 or later. This will break binary wallet compatibility with the distributed executables, which
are based on Berkeley DB 4.8. If you do not care about wallet compatibility,
pass `--with-incompatible-bdb` to configure. Otherwise, you can build Berkeley DB [yourself](#berkeley-db).
To build Bitcoin Core without wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode)
Optional port mapping libraries (see: `--with-miniupnpc` and `--with-natpmp`):
sudo dnf install miniupnpc-devel libnatpmp-devel
ZMQ dependencies (provides ZMQ API):
sudo dnf install zeromq-devel
User-Space, Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) dependencies:
sudo dnf install systemtap-sdt-devel
GUI dependencies:
If you want to build bitcoin-qt, make sure that the required packages for Qt development
are installed. Qt 5 is necessary to build the GUI.
To build without GUI pass `--without-gui`.
To build with Qt 5 you need the following:
sudo dnf install qt5-qttools-devel qt5-qtbase-devel
Additionally, to support Wayland protocol for modern desktop environments:
sudo dnf install qt5-qtwayland
libqrencode (optional) can be installed with:
sudo dnf install qrencode-devel
Once these are installed, they will be found by configure and a bitcoin-qt executable will be
built by default.
## Dependencies
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview, and
[depends](/depends/README.md) on how to compile them yourself, if you wish to
not use the packages of your Linux distribution.
### Berkeley DB
The legacy wallet uses Berkeley DB. To ensure backwards compatibility it is
recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. If you have to build it yourself, and don't
want to use any other libraries built in depends, you can do:
```bash
make -C depends NO_BOOST=1 NO_LIBEVENT=1 NO_QT=1 NO_SQLITE=1 NO_NATPMP=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_ZMQ=1 NO_USDT=1
...
to: /path/to/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
```
and configure using the following:
```bash
export BDB_PREFIX="/path/to/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
./configure \
BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \
BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include"
```
**Note**: Make sure that `BDB_PREFIX` is an absolute path.
**Note**: You only need Berkeley DB if the legacy wallet is enabled (see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode)).
Disable-wallet mode
--------------------
When the intention is to only run a P2P node, without a wallet, Bitcoin Core can
be compiled in disable-wallet mode with:
./configure --disable-wallet
In this case there is no dependency on SQLite or Berkeley DB.
Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode using the `getblocktemplate` RPC call.
Additional Configure Flags
--------------------------
A list of additional configure flags can be displayed with:
./configure --help
Setup and Build Example: Arch Linux
-----------------------------------
This example lists the steps necessary to setup and build a command line only distribution of the latest changes on Arch Linux:
pacman --sync --needed autoconf automake boost gcc git libevent libtool make pkgconf python sqlite
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
cd bitcoin/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make check
./src/bitcoind
If you intend to work with legacy Berkeley DB wallets, see [Berkeley DB](#berkeley-db) section.

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/fuzzing.md | # Fuzzing Bitcoin Core using libFuzzer
## Quickstart guide
To quickly get started fuzzing Bitcoin Core using [libFuzzer](https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html):
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
$ cd bitcoin/
$ ./autogen.sh
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure --enable-fuzz --with-sanitizers=address,fuzzer,undefined
# macOS users: If you have problem with this step then make sure to read "macOS hints for
# libFuzzer" on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/fuzzing.md#macos-hints-for-libfuzzer
$ make
$ FUZZ=process_message src/test/fuzz/fuzz
# abort fuzzing using ctrl-c
```
There is also a runner script to execute all fuzz targets. Refer to
`./test/fuzz/test_runner.py --help` for more details.
## Overview of Bitcoin Core fuzzing
[Google](https://github.com/google/fuzzing/) has a good overview of fuzzing in general, with contributions from key architects of some of the most-used fuzzers. [This paper](https://agroce.github.io/bitcoin_report.pdf) includes an external overview of the status of Bitcoin Core fuzzing, as of summer 2021. [John Regehr](https://blog.regehr.org/archives/1687) provides good advice on writing code that assists fuzzers in finding bugs, which is useful for developers to keep in mind.
## Fuzzing harnesses and output
[`process_message`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/test/fuzz/process_message.cpp) is a fuzzing harness for the [`ProcessMessage(...)` function (`net_processing`)](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net_processing.cpp). The available fuzzing harnesses are found in [`src/test/fuzz/`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/src/test/fuzz).
The fuzzer will output `NEW` every time it has created a test input that covers new areas of the code under test. For more information on how to interpret the fuzzer output, see the [libFuzzer documentation](https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html).
If you specify a corpus directory then any new coverage increasing inputs will be saved there:
```sh
$ mkdir -p process_message-seeded-from-thin-air/

```
In this case the fuzzer managed to create a `block` message which when passed to `ProcessMessage(...)` increased coverage.
It is possible to specify `bitcoind` arguments to the `fuzz` executable.
Depending on the test, they may be ignored or consumed and alter the behavior
of the test. Just make sure to use double-dash to distinguish them from the
fuzzer's own arguments:
```sh
$ FUZZ=address_deserialize_v2 src/test/fuzz/fuzz -runs=1 fuzz_seed_corpus/address_deserialize_v2 --checkaddrman=5 --printtoconsole=1
```
## Fuzzing corpora
The project's collection of seed corpora is found in the [`bitcoin-core/qa-assets`](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets) repo.
To fuzz `process_message` using the [`bitcoin-core/qa-assets`](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets) seed corpus:
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets
$ FUZZ=process_message src/test/fuzz/fuzz qa-assets/fuzz_seed_corpus/process_message/

## Run without sanitizers for increased throughput
Fuzzing on a harness compiled with `--with-sanitizers=address,fuzzer,undefined` is good for finding bugs. However, the very slow execution even under libFuzzer will limit the ability to find new coverage. A good approach is to perform occasional long runs without the additional bug-detectors (configure `--with-sanitizers=fuzzer`) and then merge new inputs into a corpus as described in the qa-assets repo (https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md). Patience is useful; even with improved throughput, libFuzzer may need days and 10s of millions of executions to reach deep/hard targets.
## Reproduce a fuzzer crash reported by the CI
- `cd` into the `qa-assets` directory and update it with `git pull qa-assets`
- locate the crash case described in the CI output, e.g. `Test unit written to
./crash-1bc91feec9fc00b107d97dc225a9f2cdaa078eb6`
- make sure to compile with all sanitizers, if they are needed (fuzzing runs
more slowly with sanitizers enabled, but a crash should be reproducible very
quickly from a crash case)
- run the fuzzer with the case number appended to the seed corpus path:
`FUZZ=process_message src/test/fuzz/fuzz
qa-assets/fuzz_seed_corpus/process_message/1bc91feec9fc00b107d97dc225a9f2cdaa078eb6`
## Submit improved coverage
If you find coverage increasing inputs when fuzzing you are highly encouraged to submit them for inclusion in the [`bitcoin-core/qa-assets`](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets) repo.
Every single pull request submitted against the Bitcoin Core repo is automatically tested against all inputs in the [`bitcoin-core/qa-assets`](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets) repo. Contributing new coverage increasing inputs is an easy way to help make Bitcoin Core more robust.
## macOS hints for libFuzzer
The default Clang/LLVM version supplied by Apple on macOS does not include
fuzzing libraries, so macOS users will need to install a full version, for
example using `brew install llvm`.
Should you run into problems with the address sanitizer, it is possible you
may need to run `./configure` with `--disable-asm` to avoid errors
with certain assembly code from Bitcoin Core's code. See [developer notes on sanitizers](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/developer-notes.md#sanitizers)
for more information.
You may also need to take care of giving the correct path for `clang` and
`clang++`, like `CC=/path/to/clang CXX=/path/to/clang++` if the non-systems
`clang` does not come first in your path.
Full configure that was tested on macOS with `brew` installed `llvm`:
```sh
./configure --enable-fuzz --with-sanitizers=fuzzer,address,undefined --disable-asm CC=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang CXX=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang++
```
Read the [libFuzzer documentation](https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html) for more information. This [libFuzzer tutorial](https://github.com/google/fuzzing/blob/master/tutorial/libFuzzerTutorial.md) might also be of interest.

## Fuzzing the Bitcoin Core P2P layer using Honggfuzz NetDriver
Honggfuzz NetDriver allows for very easy fuzzing of TCP servers such as Bitcoin
Core without having to write any custom fuzzing harness. The `bitcoind` server
process is largely fuzzed without modification.
This makes the fuzzing highly realistic: a bug reachable by the fuzzer is likely
also remotely triggerable by an untrusted peer.
To quickly get started fuzzing the P2P layer using Honggfuzz NetDriver:
```sh
$ mkdir bitcoin-honggfuzz-p2p/
$ cd bitcoin-honggfuzz-p2p/

# Fuzzing Bitcoin Core using Eclipser (v1.x)
## Quickstart guide
To quickly get started fuzzing Bitcoin Core using [Eclipser v1.x](https://github.com/SoftSec-KAIST/Eclipser/tree/v1.x):
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
$ cd bitcoin/
$ sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list # Uncomment the lines starting with 'deb-src'.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get build-dep qemu
$ sudo apt-get install libtool libtool-bin wget automake autoconf bison gdb
```
At this point, you must install the .NET core. The process differs, depending on your Linux distribution.
See [this link](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux) for details.
On Ubuntu 20.04, the following should work:
```sh
$ wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
$ rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-2.1
```
You will also want to make sure Python is installed as `python` for the Eclipser install to succeed.
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/SoftSec-KAIST/Eclipser.git
$ cd Eclipser
$ git checkout v1.x
$ make
$ cd ..
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --enable-fuzz
$ make
$ mkdir -p outputs/
$ FUZZ=bech32 dotnet Eclipser/build/Eclipser.dll fuzz -p src/test/fuzz/fuzz -t 36000 -o outputs --src stdin
```
This will perform 10 hours of fuzzing.
To make further use of the inputs generated by Eclipser, you
must first decode them:
```sh
$ dotnet Eclipser/build/Eclipser.dll decode -i outputs/testcase -o decoded_outputs
```
This will place raw inputs in the directory `decoded_outputs/decoded_stdins`. Crashes are in the `outputs/crashes` directory, and must
be decoded in the same way.
Fuzzing with Eclipser will likely be much more effective if using an existing corpus:
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets
$ FUZZ=bech32 dotnet Eclipser/build/Eclipser.dll fuzz -p src/test/fuzz/fuzz -t 36000 -i qa-assets/fuzz_seed_corpus/bech32 outputs --src stdin
```
Note that fuzzing with Eclipser on certain targets (those that create 'full nodes', e.g. `process_message*`) will,
for now, slowly fill `/tmp/` with improperly cleaned-up files, which will cause spurious crashes.
See [this proposed patch](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22472) for more information.
Read the [Eclipser documentation for v1.x](https://github.com/SoftSec-KAIST/Eclipser/tree/v1.x) for more details on using Eclipser.
# OSS-Fuzz
Bitcoin Core participates in Google's [OSS-Fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/tree/master/projects/bitcoin-core)
program, which includes a dashboard of [publicly disclosed vulnerabilities](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?q=bitcoin-core).
Generally, we try to disclose vulnerabilities as soon as possible after they
are fixed to give users the knowledge they need to be protected. However,
because Bitcoin is a live P2P network, and not just standalone local software,
we might not fully disclose every issue within Google's standard
[90-day disclosure window](https://google.github.io/oss-fuzz/getting-started/bug-disclosure-guidelines/)
if a partial or delayed disclosure is important to protect users or the
function of the network.
OSS-Fuzz also produces [a fuzzing coverage report](https://oss-fuzz.com/coverage-report/job/libfuzzer_asan_bitcoin-core/latest).

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/REST-interface.md | Unauthenticated REST Interface
==============================
The REST API can be enabled with the `-rest` option.
The interface runs on the same port as the JSON-RPC interface, by default port 8332 for mainnet, port 18332 for testnet,
port 38332 for signet, and port 18443 for regtest.
REST Interface consistency guarantees
-------------------------------------
The [same guarantees as for the RPC Interface](/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md#rpc-consistency-guarantees)
apply.
Limitations
-----------
There is a known issue in the REST interface that can cause a node to crash if
too many http connections are being opened at the same time because the system runs
out of available file descriptors. To prevent this from happening you might
want to increase the number of maximum allowed file descriptors in your system
and try to prevent opening too many connections to your rest interface at the
same time if this is under your control. It is hard to give general advice
since this depends on your system but if you make several hundred requests at
once you are definitely at risk of encountering this issue.
Supported API
-------------
#### Transactions
`GET /rest/tx/<TX-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>`
Given a transaction hash: returns a transaction in binary, hex-encoded binary, or JSON formats.
Responds with 404 if the transaction doesn't exist.
By default, this endpoint will only search the mempool.
To query for a confirmed transaction, enable the transaction index via "txindex=1" command line / configuration option.
#### Blocks
- `GET /rest/block/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>`
- `GET /rest/block/notxdetails/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>`
Given a block hash: returns a block, in binary, hex-encoded binary or JSON formats.
Responds with 404 if the block doesn't exist.
The HTTP request and response are both handled entirely in-memory.
With the /notxdetails/ option JSON response will only contain the transaction hash instead of the complete transaction details. The option only affects the JSON response.
#### Blockheaders
`GET /rest/headers/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>?count=<COUNT=5>`
Given a block hash: returns <COUNT> amount of blockheaders in upward direction.
Returns empty if the block doesn't exist or it isn't in the active chain.
*Deprecated (but not removed) since 24.0:*
`GET /rest/headers/<COUNT>/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>`
#### Blockfilter Headers
`GET /rest/blockfilterheaders/<FILTERTYPE>/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>?count=<COUNT=5>`
Given a block hash: returns <COUNT> amount of blockfilter headers in upward
direction for the filter type <FILTERTYPE>.
Returns empty if the block doesn't exist or it isn't in the active chain.
*Deprecated (but not removed) since 24.0:*
`GET /rest/blockfilterheaders/<FILTERTYPE>/<COUNT>/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>`
#### Blockfilters
`GET /rest/blockfilter/<FILTERTYPE>/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>`
Given a block hash: returns the block filter of the given block of type
<FILTERTYPE>.
Responds with 404 if the block doesn't exist.
#### Blockhash by height
`GET /rest/blockhashbyheight/<HEIGHT>.<bin|hex|json>`
Given a height: returns hash of block in best-block-chain at height provided.
Responds with 404 if block not found.
#### Chaininfos
`GET /rest/chaininfo.json`
Returns various state info regarding block chain processing.
Only supports JSON as output format.
Refer to the `getblockchaininfo` RPC help for details.
#### Deployment info
`GET /rest/deploymentinfo.json`
`GET /rest/deploymentinfo/<BLOCKHASH>.json`
Returns an object containing various state info regarding deployments of
consensus changes at the current chain tip, or at <BLOCKHASH> if provided.
Only supports JSON as output format.
Refer to the `getdeploymentinfo` RPC help for details.
#### Query UTXO set
- `GET /rest/getutxos/<TXID>-<N>/<TXID>-<N>/.../<TXID>-<N>.<bin|hex|json>`
- `GET /rest/getutxos/checkmempool/<TXID>-<N>/<TXID>-<N>/.../<TXID>-<N>.<bin|hex|json>`
The getutxos endpoint allows querying the UTXO set, given a set of outpoints.
With the `/checkmempool/` option, the mempool is also taken into account.
See [BIP64](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0064.mediawiki) for
input and output serialization (relevant for `bin` and `hex` output formats).
Example:
```
$ curl localhost:18332/rest/getutxos/checkmempool/b2cdfd7b89def827ff8af7cd9bff7627ff72e5e8b0f71210f92ea7a4000c5d75-0.json 2>/dev/null | json_pp

Returns various information about the transaction mempool.
Only supports JSON as output format.
Refer to the `getmempoolinfo` RPC help for details.
`GET /rest/mempool/contents.json?verbose=<true|false>&mempool_sequence=<false|true>`
Returns the transactions in the mempool.
Only supports JSON as output format.
Refer to the `getrawmempool` RPC help for details. Defaults to setting
`verbose=true` and `mempool_sequence=false`.
*Query parameters for `verbose` and `mempool_sequence` available in 25.0 and up.*
Risks
-------------
Running a web browser on the same node with a REST enabled bitcoind can be a risk. Accessing prepared XSS websites could read out tx/block data of your node by placing links like `<script src="http://127.0.0.1:8332/rest/tx/1234567890.json">` which might break the nodes privacy.

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/translation_strings_policy.md | Translation Strings Policy
===========================
This document provides guidelines for internationalization of the Bitcoin Core software.
How to translate?
------------------
To mark a message as translatable
- In GUI source code (under `src/qt`): use `tr("...")`
- In non-GUI source code (under `src`): use `_("...")`
No internationalization is used for e.g. developer scripts outside `src`.
Strings to be translated
-------------------------
On a high level, these strings are to be translated:
- GUI strings, anything that appears in a dialog or window
### GUI strings
Do not translate technical or extremely rare errors.
Anything else that appears to the user in the GUI is to be translated. This includes labels, menu items, button texts, tooltips and window titles.
This includes messages passed to the GUI through the UI interface through `InitMessage`, `ThreadSafeMessageBox` or `ShowProgress`.
General recommendations
------------------------
### Avoid unnecessary translation strings
Try not to burden translators with translating messages that are e.g. slight variations of other messages.
In the GUI, avoid the use of text where an icon or symbol will do.
Make sure that placeholder texts in forms do not end up in the list of strings to be translated (use `<string notr="true">`).
### Make translated strings understandable
Try to write translation strings in an understandable way, for both the user and the translator. Avoid overly technical or detailed messages.
### Do not translate internal errors
Do not translate internal errors, log messages, or messages that appear on the RPC interface. If an error is to be shown to the user,
use a translatable generic message, then log the detailed message to the log. E.g., "A fatal internal error occurred, see debug.log for details".
This helps troubleshooting; if the error is the same for everyone, the likelihood is increased that it can be found using a search engine.
### Avoid fragments
Avoid dividing up a message into fragments. Translators see every string separately, so they may misunderstand the context if the messages are not self-contained.
### Avoid HTML in translation strings
There have been difficulties with the use of HTML in translation strings; translators should not be able to accidentally affect the formatting of messages.
This may sometimes be at conflict with the recommendation in the previous section.
### Plurals
Plurals can be complex in some languages. A quote from the gettext documentation:
In Polish we use e.g. plik (file) this way:
1 plik,
2,3,4 pliki,
5-21 pliko'w,
22-24 pliki,
25-31 pliko'w
and so on
In Qt code, use tr's third argument for optional plurality. For example:
tr("%n hour(s)","",secs/HOUR_IN_SECONDS);
tr("%n day(s)","",secs/DAY_IN_SECONDS);
tr("%n week(s)","",secs/WEEK_IN_SECONDS);
This adds `<numerusform>`s to the respective `.ts` file, which can be translated separately depending on the language. In English, this is simply:
<message numerus="yes">
<source>%n active connection(s) to Bitcoin network</source>
<translation>
<numerusform>%n active connection to Bitcoin network</numerusform>
<numerusform>%n active connections to Bitcoin network</numerusform>
</translation>
</message>
Where possible, try to avoid embedding numbers into the flow of the string at all. E.g.,
WARNING: check your network connection, %d blocks received in the last %d hours (%d expected)
versus
WARNING: check your network connection, less blocks (%d) were received in the last %n hours than expected (%d).
The second example reduces the number of pluralized words that translators have to handle from three to one, at no cost to comprehensibility of the sentence.
### String freezes
During a string freeze (often before a major release), no translation strings are to be added, modified or removed.
This can be checked by executing `make translate` in the `src` directory, then verifying that `bitcoin_en.ts` remains unchanged.

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/multisig-tutorial.md | # 1. Multisig Tutorial
Currently, it is possible to create a multisig wallet using Bitcoin Core only.
Although there is already a brief explanation about the multisig in the [Descriptors documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md#multisig), this tutorial proposes to use the signet (instead of regtest), bringing the reader closer to a real environment and explaining some functions in more detail.
This tutorial uses [jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq) JSON processor to process the results from RPC and stores the relevant values in bash variables. This makes the tutorial reproducible and easier to follow step by step.
Before starting this tutorial, start the bitcoin node on the signet network.
```bash
./src/bitcoind -signet -daemon
```
This tutorial also uses the default WPKH derivation path to get the xpubs and does not conform to [BIP 45](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0045.mediawiki) or [BIP 87](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0087.mediawiki).
At the time of writing, there is no way to extract a specific path from wallets in Bitcoin Core. For this, an external signer/xpub can be used.
[PR #22341](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22341), which is still under development, introduces a new wallet RPC `getxpub`. It takes a BIP32 path as an argument and returns the xpub, along with the master key fingerprint.
## 1.1 Basic Multisig Workflow
### 1.1 Create the Descriptor Wallets
For a 2-of-3 multisig, create 3 descriptor wallets. It is important that they are of the descriptor type in order to retrieve the wallet descriptors. These wallets contain HD seed and private keys, which will be used to sign the PSBTs and derive the xpub.
These three wallets should not be used directly for privacy reasons (public key reuse). They should only be used to sign transactions for the (watch-only) multisig wallet.
```bash
for ((n=1;n<=3;n++))
do
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet createwallet "participant_${n}"
done
```
Extract the xpub of each wallet. To do this, the `listdescriptors` RPC is used. By default, Bitcoin Core single-sig wallets are created using path `m/44'/1'/0'` for PKH, `m/84'/1'/0'` for WPKH, `m/49'/1'/0'` for P2WPKH-nested-in-P2SH and `m/86'/1'/0'` for P2TR based accounts. Each of them uses the chain 0 for external addresses and chain 1 for internal ones, as shown in the example below.
```
wpkh([1004658e/84'/1'/0']tpubDCBEcmVKbfC9KfdydyLbJ2gfNL88grZu1XcWSW9ytTM6fitvaRmVyr8Ddf7SjZ2ZfMx9RicjYAXhuh3fmLiVLPodPEqnQQURUfrBKiiVZc8/0/*)#g8l47ngv
wpkh([1004658e/84'/1'/0']tpubDCBEcmVKbfC9KfdydyLbJ2gfNL88grZu1XcWSW9ytTM6fitvaRmVyr8Ddf7SjZ2ZfMx9RicjYAXhuh3fmLiVLPodPEqnQQURUfrBKiiVZc8/1/*)#en65rxc5
```
The suffix (after #) is the checksum. Descriptors can optionally be suffixed with a checksum to protect against typos or copy-paste errors.
All RPCs in Bitcoin Core will include the checksum in their output.
```bash
declare -A xpubs
for ((n=1;n<=3;n++))
do
xpubs["internal_xpub_${n}"]=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="participant_${n}" listdescriptors | jq '.descriptors | [.[] | select(.desc | startswith("wpkh") and contains("/1/*"))][0] | .desc' | grep -Po '(?<=\().*(?=\))')
xpubs["external_xpub_${n}"]=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="participant_${n}" listdescriptors | jq '.descriptors | [.[] | select(.desc | startswith("wpkh") and contains("/0/*") )][0] | .desc' | grep -Po '(?<=\().*(?=\))')
done
```
`jq` is used to extract the xpub from the `wpkh` descriptor.
The following command can be used to verify if the xpub was generated correctly.
```bash
for x in "${!xpubs[@]}"; do printf "[%s]=%s\n" "$x" "${xpubs[$x]}" ; done
```
As previously mentioned, this step extracts the `m/84'/1'/0'` account instead of the path defined in [BIP 45](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0045.mediawiki) or [BIP 87](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0087.mediawiki), since there is no way to extract a specific path in Bitcoin Core at the time of writing.
### 1.2 Define the Multisig Descriptors
Define the external and internal multisig descriptors, add the checksum and then, join both in a JSON array.
```bash
external_desc="wsh(sortedmulti(2,${xpubs["external_xpub_1"]},${xpubs["external_xpub_2"]},${xpubs["external_xpub_3"]}))"
internal_desc="wsh(sortedmulti(2,${xpubs["internal_xpub_1"]},${xpubs["internal_xpub_2"]},${xpubs["internal_xpub_3"]}))"
external_desc_sum=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet getdescriptorinfo $external_desc | jq '.descriptor')
internal_desc_sum=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet getdescriptorinfo $internal_desc | jq '.descriptor')
multisig_ext_desc="{\"desc\": $external_desc_sum, \"active\": true, \"internal\": false, \"timestamp\": \"now\"}"
multisig_int_desc="{\"desc\": $internal_desc_sum, \"active\": true, \"internal\": true, \"timestamp\": \"now\"}"
multisig_desc="[$multisig_ext_desc, $multisig_int_desc]"
```
`external_desc` and `internal_desc` specify the output type (`wsh`, in this case) and the xpubs involved. They also use BIP 67 (`sortedmulti`), so the wallet can be recreated without worrying about the order of xpubs. Conceptually, descriptors describe a list of scriptPubKey (along with information for spending from it) [[source](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/21199#issuecomment-780772418)].
Note that at least two descriptors are usually used, one for internal derivation paths and external ones. There are discussions about eliminating this redundancy, as can been seen in the issue [#17190](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17190).
After creating the descriptors, it is necessary to add the checksum, which is required by the `importdescriptors` RPC.
The checksum for a descriptor without one can be computed using the `getdescriptorinfo` RPC. The response has the `descriptor` field, which is the descriptor with the checksum added.
There are other fields that can be added to the descriptors:
* `active`: Sets the descriptor to be the active one for the corresponding output type (`wsh`, in this case).
* `internal`: Indicates whether matching outputs should be treated as something other than incoming payments (e.g. change).
* `timestamp`: Sets the time from which to start rescanning the blockchain for the descriptor, in UNIX epoch time.
Documentation for these and other parameters can be found by typing `./src/bitcoin-cli help importdescriptors`.
`multisig_desc` concatenates external and internal descriptors in a JSON array and then it will be used to create the multisig wallet.
### 1.3 Create the Multisig Wallet
To create the multisig wallet, first create an empty one (no keys, HD seed and private keys disabled).
Then import the descriptors created in the previous step using the `importdescriptors` RPC.
After that, `getwalletinfo` can be used to check if the wallet was created successfully.
```bash
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -named createwallet wallet_name="multisig_wallet_01" disable_private_keys=true blank=true
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="multisig_wallet_01" importdescriptors "$multisig_desc"
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="multisig_wallet_01" getwalletinfo
```
Once the wallets have already been created and this tutorial needs to be repeated or resumed, it is not necessary to recreate them, just load them with the command below:
```bash
for ((n=1;n<=3;n++)); do ./src/bitcoin-cli -signet loadwallet "participant_${n}"; done
```
### 1.4 Fund the wallet
The wallet can receive signet coins by generating a new address and passing it as parameters to `getcoins.py` script.
This script will print a captcha in dot-matrix to the terminal, using unicode Braille characters. After solving the captcha, the coins will be sent directly to the address or wallet (according to the parameters).
The url used by the script can also be accessed directly. At time of writing, the url is [`https://signetfaucet.com`](https://signetfaucet.com).
Coins received by the wallet must have at least 1 confirmation before they can be spent. It is necessary to wait for a new block to be mined before continuing.
```bash
receiving_address=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="multisig_wallet_01" getnewaddress)
./contrib/signet/getcoins.py -c ./src/bitcoin-cli -a $receiving_address
```
To copy the receiving address onto the clipboard, use the following command. This can be useful when getting coins via the signet faucet mentioned above.
```bash
echo -n "$receiving_address" | xclip -sel clip
```
The `getbalances` RPC may be used to check the balance. Coins with `trusted` status can be spent.
```bash
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="multisig_wallet_01" getbalances
```
### 1.5 Create a PSBT
Unlike singlesig wallets, multisig wallets cannot create and sign transactions directly because they require the signatures of the co-signers. Instead they create a Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction (PSBT).
PSBT is a data format that allows wallets and other tools to exchange information about a Bitcoin transaction and the signatures necessary to complete it. [[source](https://bitcoinops.org/en/topics/psbt/)]
The current PSBT version (v0) is defined in [BIP 174](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki).
For simplicity, the destination address is taken from the `participant_1` wallet in the code above, but it can be any valid bitcoin address.
The `walletcreatefundedpsbt` RPC is used to create and fund a transaction in the PSBT format. It is the first step in creating the PSBT.
```bash
balance=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="multisig_wallet_01" getbalance)
amount=$(echo "$balance * 0.8" | bc -l | sed -e 's/^\./0./' -e 's/^-\./-0./')
destination_addr=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="participant_1" getnewaddress)
funded_psbt=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -named -rpcwallet="multisig_wallet_01" walletcreatefundedpsbt outputs="{\"$destination_addr\": $amount}" | jq -r '.psbt')
```
There is also the `createpsbt` RPC, which serves the same purpose, but it has no access to the wallet or to the UTXO set. It is functionally the same as `createrawtransaction` and just drops the raw transaction into an otherwise blank PSBT. [[source](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5131043.msg50573609#msg50573609)] In most cases, `walletcreatefundedpsbt` solves the problem.
The `send` RPC can also return a PSBT if more signatures are needed to sign the transaction.
### 1.6 Decode or Analyze the PSBT
Optionally, the PSBT can be decoded to a JSON format using `decodepsbt` RPC.
The `analyzepsbt` RPC analyzes and provides information about the current status of a PSBT and its inputs, e.g. missing signatures.
```bash
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet decodepsbt $funded_psbt
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet analyzepsbt $funded_psbt
```
### 1.7 Update the PSBT
In the code above, two PSBTs are created. One signed by `participant_1` wallet and other, by the `participant_2` wallet.
The `walletprocesspsbt` is used by the wallet to sign a PSBT.
```bash
psbt_1=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="participant_1" walletprocesspsbt $funded_psbt | jq '.psbt')
psbt_2=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="participant_2" walletprocesspsbt $funded_psbt | jq '.psbt')
```
### 1.8 Combine the PSBT
The PSBT, if signed separately by the co-signers, must be combined into one transaction before being finalized. This is done by `combinepsbt` RPC.
```bash
combined_psbt=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet combinepsbt "[$psbt_1, $psbt_2]")
```
There is an RPC called `joinpsbts`, but it has a different purpose than `combinepsbt`. `joinpsbts` joins the inputs from multiple distinct PSBTs into one PSBT.
In the example above, the PSBTs are the same, but signed by different participants. If the user tries to merge them using `joinpsbts`, the error `Input txid:pos exists in multiple PSBTs` is returned. To be able to merge different PSBTs into one, they must have different inputs and outputs.
### 1.9 Finalize and Broadcast the PSBT
The `finalizepsbt` RPC is used to produce a network serialized transaction which can be broadcast with `sendrawtransaction`.
It checks that all inputs have complete scriptSigs and scriptWitnesses and, if so, encodes them into network serialized transactions.
```bash
finalized_psbt_hex=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet finalizepsbt $combined_psbt | jq -r '.hex')
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet sendrawtransaction $finalized_psbt_hex
```
### 1.10 Alternative Workflow (PSBT sequential signatures)
Instead of each wallet signing the original PSBT and combining them later, the wallets can also sign the PSBTs sequentially. This is less scalable than the previously presented parallel workflow, but it works.
After that, the rest of the process is the same: the PSBT is finalized and transmitted to the network.
```bash
psbt_1=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="participant_1" walletprocesspsbt $funded_psbt | jq -r '.psbt')
psbt_2=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcwallet="participant_2" walletprocesspsbt $psbt_1 | jq -r '.psbt')
finalized_psbt_hex=$(./src/bitcoin-cli -signet finalizepsbt $psbt_2 | jq -r '.hex')
./src/bitcoin-cli -signet sendrawtransaction $finalized_psbt_hex
```

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/README_windows.txt | Bitcoin Core
=============
Intro
-----
Bitcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that is
completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted
parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly
with each other, with the help of a P2P network to check for double-spending.
Setup
-----
Unpack the files into a directory and run bitcoin-qt.exe.
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network.
However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions;
depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization
process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
See the bitcoin wiki at:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page
for more help and information.
| 0 |
bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/p2p-bad-ports.md | When Bitcoin Core automatically opens outgoing P2P connections, it chooses
a peer (address and port) from its list of potential peers. This list is
populated with unchecked data gossiped over the P2P network by other peers.
A malicious actor may gossip an address:port where no Bitcoin node is listening,
or one where a service is listening that is not related to the Bitcoin network.
As a result, this service may occasionally get connection attempts from Bitcoin
nodes.
"Bad" ports are ones used by services which are usually not open to the public
and usually require authentication. A connection attempt (by Bitcoin Core,
trying to connect because it thinks there is a Bitcoin node on that
address:port) to such service may be considered a malicious action by an
ultra-paranoid administrator. An example for such a port is 22 (ssh). On the
other hand, connection attempts to public services that usually do not require
authentication are unlikely to be considered a malicious action,
e.g. port 80 (http).
Below is a list of "bad" ports which Bitcoin Core avoids when choosing a peer to
connect to. If a node is listening on such a port, it will likely receive fewer
incoming connections.

bitcoin | bitcoin/doc/build-openbsd.md | # OpenBSD Build Guide
**Updated for OpenBSD [7.3](https://www.openbsd.org/73.html)**
This guide describes how to build bitcoind, command-line utilities, and GUI on OpenBSD.
## Preparation
### 1. Install Required Dependencies
Run the following as root to install the base dependencies for building.
```bash
pkg_add bash git gmake libevent libtool boost
# Select the newest version of the following packages:
pkg_add autoconf automake python
```
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
### 2. Clone Bitcoin Repo
Clone the Bitcoin Core repository to a directory. All build scripts and commands will run from this directory.
``` bash
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
```
### 3. Install Optional Dependencies
#### Wallet Dependencies
It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run either `bitcoind` or `bitcoin-qt`.
###### Descriptor Wallet Support
`sqlite3` is required to support [descriptor wallets](descriptors.md).
``` bash
pkg_add sqlite3
```
###### Legacy Wallet Support
BerkeleyDB is only required to support legacy wallets.
It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. You cannot use the BerkeleyDB library
from ports. However you can build it yourself, [using depends](/depends).
```bash
gmake -C depends NO_BOOST=1 NO_LIBEVENT=1 NO_QT=1 NO_SQLITE=1 NO_NATPMP=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_ZMQ=1 NO_USDT=1
...
to: /path/to/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-unknown-openbsd
```
Then set `BDB_PREFIX`:
```bash
export BDB_PREFIX="/path/to/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-unknown-openbsd"
```
#### GUI Dependencies
###### Qt5
Bitcoin Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework. To compile the GUI, Qt 5 is required.
```bash
pkg_add qt5
```
## Building Bitcoin Core
**Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error).
Preparation:
```bash
# Adapt the following for the version you installed (major.minor only):
export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.71
export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.16
./autogen.sh
```
### 1. Configuration
There are many ways to configure Bitcoin Core, here are a few common examples:
##### Descriptor Wallet and GUI:
This enables the GUI and descriptor wallet support, assuming `sqlite` and `qt5` are installed.
```bash
./configure MAKE=gmake
```
##### Descriptor & Legacy Wallet. No GUI:
This enables support for both wallet types and disables the GUI:
```bash
./configure --with-gui=no \
BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \
BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" \
MAKE=gmake
```
### 2. Compile
**Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error).
```bash
gmake # use "-j N" for N parallel jobs
gmake check # Run tests if Python 3 is available
```
## Resource limits
If the build runs into out-of-memory errors, the instructions in this section
might help.
The standard ulimit restrictions in OpenBSD are very strict:
```bash
data(kbytes) 1572864
```
This is, unfortunately, in some cases not enough to compile some `.cpp` files in the project,
(see issue [#6658](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6658)).
If your user is in the `staff` group the limit can be raised with:
```bash
ulimit -d 3000000
```
The change will only affect the current shell and processes spawned by it. To
make the change system-wide, change `datasize-cur` and `datasize-max` in
`/etc/login.conf`, and reboot.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/design/multiprocess.md | # Multiprocess Bitcoin
On unix systems, the `--enable-multiprocess` build option can be passed to `./configure` to build new `bitcoin-node`, `bitcoin-wallet`, and `bitcoin-gui` executables alongside existing `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt` executables.
`bitcoin-node` is a drop-in replacement for `bitcoind`, and `bitcoin-gui` is a drop-in replacement for `bitcoin-qt`, and there are no differences in use or external behavior between the new and old executables. But internally (after [#10102](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102)), `bitcoin-gui` will spawn a `bitcoin-node` process to run P2P and RPC code, communicating with it across a socket pair, and `bitcoin-node` will spawn `bitcoin-wallet` to run wallet code, also communicating over a socket pair. This will let node, wallet, and GUI code run in separate address spaces for better isolation, and allow future improvements like being able to start and stop components independently on different machines and environments.
## Next steps
Specific next steps after [#10102](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102) will be:
- [ ] Adding `-ipcbind` and `-ipcconnect` options to `bitcoin-node`, `bitcoin-wallet`, and `bitcoin-gui` executables so they can listen and connect to TCP ports and unix socket paths. This will allow separate processes to be started and stopped any time and connect to each other.
- [ ] Adding `-server` and `-rpcbind` options to the `bitcoin-wallet` executable so wallet processes can handle RPC requests directly without going through the node.
- [ ] Supporting windows, not just unix systems. The existing socket code is already cross-platform, so the only windows-specific code that needs to be written is code spawning a process and passing a socket descriptor. This can be implemented with `CreateProcess` and `WSADuplicateSocket`. Example: https://memset.wordpress.com/2010/10/13/win32-api-passing-socket-with-ipc-method/.
- [ ] Adding sandbox features, restricting subprocess access to resources and data. See [https://eklitzke.org/multiprocess-bitcoin](https://eklitzke.org/multiprocess-bitcoin).
## Debugging
The `-debug=ipc` command line option can be used to see requests and responses between processes.
## Installation
The multiprocess feature requires [Cap'n Proto](https://capnproto.org/) and [libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) as dependencies. A simple way to get starting using it without installing these dependencies manually is to use the [depends system](../../depends) with the `MULTIPROCESS=1` [dependency option](../../depends#dependency-options) passed to make:
```
cd <BITCOIN_SOURCE_DIRECTORY>
make -C depends NO_QT=1 MULTIPROCESS=1
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure
make
src/bitcoin-node -regtest -printtoconsole -debug=ipc
BITCOIND=bitcoin-node test/functional/test_runner.py
```
The configure script will pick up settings and library locations from the depends directory, so there is no need to pass `--enable-multiprocess` as a separate flag when using the depends system (it's controlled by the `MULTIPROCESS=1` option).
Alternately, you can install [Cap'n Proto](https://capnproto.org/) and [libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) packages on your system, and just run `./configure --enable-multiprocess` without using the depends system. The configure script will be able to locate the installed packages via [pkg-config](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/). See [Installation](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess/blob/master/doc/install.md) section of the libmultiprocess readme for install steps. See [build-unix.md](../build-unix.md) and [build-osx.md](../build-osx.md) for information about installing dependencies in general.
## IPC implementation details
Cross process Node, Wallet, and Chain interfaces are defined in
[`src/interfaces/`](../../src/interfaces/). These are C++ classes which follow
[conventions](../developer-notes.md#internal-interface-guidelines), like passing
serializable arguments so they can be called from different processes, and
making methods pure virtual so they can have proxy implementations that forward
calls between processes.
When Wallet, Node, and Chain code is running in the same process, calling any
interface method invokes the implementation directly. When code is running in
different processes, calling an interface method invokes a proxy interface
implementation that communicates with a remote process and invokes the real
implementation in the remote process. The
[libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) code
generation tool internally generates proxy client classes and proxy server
classes for this purpose that are thin wrappers around Cap'n Proto
[client](https://capnproto.org/cxxrpc.html#clients) and
[server](https://capnproto.org/cxxrpc.html#servers) classes, which handle the
actual serialization and socket communication.
As much as possible, calls between processes are meant to work the same as
calls within a single process without adding limitations or requiring extra
implementation effort. Processes communicate with each other by calling regular
[C++ interface methods](../../src/interfaces/README.md). Method arguments and
return values are automatically serialized and sent between processes. Object
references and `std::function` arguments are automatically tracked and mapped
to allow invoked code to call back into invoking code at any time, and there is
a 1:1 threading model where any thread invoking a method in another process has
a corresponding thread in the invoked process responsible for executing all
method calls from the source thread, without blocking I/O or holding up another
call, and using the same thread local variables, locks, and callbacks between
calls. The forwarding, tracking, and threading is implemented inside the
[libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) library
which has the design goal of making calls between processes look like calls in
the same process to the extent possible.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/design/assumeutxo.md | # assumeutxo
Assumeutxo is a feature that allows fast bootstrapping of a validating bitcoind
instance.
## Loading a snapshot
There is currently no canonical source for snapshots, but any downloaded snapshot
will be checked against a hash that's been hardcoded in source code.
Once you've obtained the snapshot, you can use the RPC command `loadtxoutset` to
load it.
### Pruning
A pruned node can load a snapshot. To save space, it's possible to delete the
snapshot file as soon as `loadtxoutset` finishes.
The minimum `-dbcache` setting is 550 MiB, but this functionality ignores that
minimum and uses at least 1100 MiB.
As the background sync continues there will be temporarily two chainstate
directories, each multiple gigabytes in size (likely growing larger than the
the downloaded snapshot).
### Indexes
Indexes work but don't take advantage of this feature. They always start building
from the genesis block. Once the background validation reaches the snapshot block,
indexes will continue to build all the way to the tip.
For indexes that support pruning, note that no pruning will take place between
the snapshot and the tip, until the background sync has completed - after which
everything is pruned. Depending on how old the snapshot is, this may temporarily
use a significant amount of disk space.
## Generating a snapshot
The RPC command `dumptxoutset` can be used to generate a snapshot. This can be used
to create a snapshot on one node that you wish to load on another node.
It can also be used to verify the hardcoded snapshot hash in the source code.
The utility script
`./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh` may be of use.
## General background
- [assumeutxo proposal](https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/2019-04-proposal/proposal)
- [Github issue](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/15605)
- [draft PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15606)
## Design notes
- A new block index `nStatus` flag is introduced, `BLOCK_ASSUMED_VALID`, to mark block
index entries that are required to be assumed-valid by a chainstate created
from a UTXO snapshot. This flag is used as a way to modify certain
CheckBlockIndex() logic to account for index entries that are pending validation by a
chainstate running asynchronously in the background.
- The concept of UTXO snapshots is treated as an implementation detail that lives
behind the ChainstateManager interface. The external presentation of the changes
required to facilitate the use of UTXO snapshots is the understanding that there are
now certain regions of the chain that can be temporarily assumed to be valid (using
the nStatus flag mentioned above). In certain cases, e.g. wallet rescanning, this is
very similar to dealing with a pruned chain.
Logic outside ChainstateManager should try not to know about snapshots, instead
preferring to work in terms of more general states like assumed-valid.
## Chainstate phases
Chainstate within the system goes through a number of phases when UTXO snapshots are
used, as managed by `ChainstateManager`. At various points there can be multiple
`Chainstate` objects in existence to facilitate both maintaining the network tip and
performing historical validation of the assumed-valid chain.
It is worth noting that though there are multiple separate chainstates, those
chainstates share use of a common block index (i.e. they hold the same `BlockManager`
reference).
The subheadings below outline the phases and the corresponding changes to chainstate
data.
### "Normal" operation via initial block download
`ChainstateManager` manages a single Chainstate object, for which
`m_snapshot_blockhash` is null. This chainstate is (maybe obviously)
considered active. This is the "traditional" mode of operation for bitcoind.
| | |
| ---------- | ----------- |
| number of chainstates | 1 |
| active chainstate | ibd |
### User loads a UTXO snapshot via `loadtxoutset` RPC
`ChainstateManager` initializes a new chainstate (see `ActivateSnapshot()`) to load the
snapshot contents into. During snapshot load and validation (see
`PopulateAndValidateSnapshot()`), the new chainstate is not considered active and the
original chainstate remains in use as active.
| | |
| ---------- | ----------- |
| number of chainstates | 2 |
| active chainstate | ibd |
Once the snapshot chainstate is loaded and validated, it is promoted to active
chainstate and a sync to tip begins. A new chainstate directory is created in the
datadir for the snapshot chainstate called `chainstate_snapshot`.
When this directory is present in the datadir, the snapshot chainstate will be detected
and loaded as active on node startup (via `DetectSnapshotChainstate()`).
A special file is created within that directory, `base_blockhash`, which contains the
serialized `uint256` of the base block of the snapshot. This is used to reinitialize
the snapshot chainstate on subsequent inits. Otherwise, the directory is a normal
leveldb database.
| | |
| ---------- | ----------- |
| number of chainstates | 2 |
| active chainstate | snapshot |
The snapshot begins to sync to tip from its base block, technically in parallel with
the original chainstate, but it is given priority during block download and is
allocated most of the cache (see `MaybeRebalanceCaches()` and usages) as our chief
goal is getting to network tip.
**Failure consideration:** if shutdown happens at any point during this phase, both
chainstates will be detected during the next init and the process will resume.
### Snapshot chainstate hits network tip
Once the snapshot chainstate leaves IBD, caches are rebalanced
(via `MaybeRebalanceCaches()` in `ActivateBestChain()`) and more cache is given
to the background chainstate, which is responsible for doing full validation of the
assumed-valid parts of the chain.
**Note:** at this point, ValidationInterface callbacks will be coming in from both
chainstates. Considerations here must be made for indexing, which may no longer be happening
sequentially.
### Background chainstate hits snapshot base block
Once the tip of the background chainstate hits the base block of the snapshot
chainstate, we stop use of the background chainstate by setting `m_disabled`, in
`CompleteSnapshotValidation()`, which is checked in `ActivateBestChain()`). We hash the
background chainstate's UTXO set contents and ensure it matches the compiled value in
`CMainParams::m_assumeutxo_data`.
| | |
| ---------- | ----------- |
| number of chainstates | 2 (ibd has `m_disabled=true`) |
| active chainstate | snapshot |
The background chainstate data lingers on disk until the program is restarted.
### Bitcoind restarts sometime after snapshot validation has completed
After a shutdown and subsequent restart, `LoadChainstate()` cleans up the background
chainstate with `ValidatedSnapshotCleanup()`, which renames the `chainstate_snapshot`
datadir as `chainstate` and removes the now unnecessary background chainstate data.
| | |
| ---------- | ----------- |
| number of chainstates | 1 |
| active chainstate | ibd (was snapshot, but is now fully validated) |
What began as the snapshot chainstate is now indistinguishable from a chainstate that
has been built from the traditional IBD process, and will be initialized as such.
A file will be left in `chainstate/base_blockhash`, which indicates that the
chainstate, even though now fully validated, was originally started from a snapshot
with the corresponding base blockhash.

| Name | Description |
|--------------------------|-------------|
| *libbitcoin_cli* | RPC client functionality used by *bitcoin-cli* executable |
| *libbitcoin_common* | Home for common functionality shared by different executables and libraries. Similar to *libbitcoin_util*, but higher-level (see [Dependencies](#dependencies)). |
| *libbitcoin_consensus* | Stable, backwards-compatible consensus functionality used by *libbitcoin_node* and *libbitcoin_wallet* and also exposed as a [shared library](../shared-libraries.md). |
| *libbitcoinconsensus* | Shared library build of static *libbitcoin_consensus* library |
| *libbitcoin_kernel* | Consensus engine and support library used for validation by *libbitcoin_node* and also exposed as a [shared library](../shared-libraries.md). |
| *libbitcoinqt* | GUI functionality used by *bitcoin-qt* and *bitcoin-gui* executables |
| *libbitcoin_ipc* | IPC functionality used by *bitcoin-node*, *bitcoin-wallet*, *bitcoin-gui* executables to communicate when [`--enable-multiprocess`](multiprocess.md) is used. |
| *libbitcoin_node* | P2P and RPC server functionality used by *bitcoind* and *bitcoin-qt* executables. |
| *libbitcoin_util* | Home for common functionality shared by different executables and libraries. Similar to *libbitcoin_common*, but lower-level (see [Dependencies](#dependencies)). |

| *libbitcoin_wallet_tool* | Lower-level wallet functionality used by *bitcoin-wallet* executable. |
| *libbitcoin_zmq* | [ZeroMQ](../zmq.md) functionality used by *bitcoind* and *bitcoin-qt* executables. |
## Conventions
- Most libraries are internal libraries and have APIs which are completely unstable! There are few or no restrictions on backwards compatibility or rules about external dependencies. Exceptions are *libbitcoin_consensus* and *libbitcoin_kernel* which have external interfaces documented at [../shared-libraries.md](../shared-libraries.md).
- Generally each library should have a corresponding source directory and namespace. Source code organization is a work in progress, so it is true that some namespaces are applied inconsistently, and if you look at [`libbitcoin_*_SOURCES`](../../src/Makefile.am) lists you can see that many libraries pull in files from outside their source directory. But when working with libraries, it is good to follow a consistent pattern like:
- *libbitcoin_node* code lives in `src/node/` in the `node::` namespace
- *libbitcoin_wallet* code lives in `src/wallet/` in the `wallet::` namespace
- *libbitcoin_ipc* code lives in `src/ipc/` in the `ipc::` namespace
- *libbitcoin_util* code lives in `src/util/` in the `util::` namespace
- *libbitcoin_consensus* code lives in `src/consensus/` in the `Consensus::` namespace
## Dependencies
- Libraries should minimize what other libraries they depend on, and only reference symbols following the arrows shown in the dependency graph below:
<table><tr><td>

```
</td></tr><tr><td>
**Dependency graph**. Arrows show linker symbol dependencies. *Consensus* lib depends on nothing. *Util* lib is depended on by everything. *Kernel* lib depends only on consensus and util.
</td></tr></table>
- The graph shows what _linker symbols_ (functions and variables) from each library other libraries can call and reference directly, but it is not a call graph. For example, there is no arrow connecting *libbitcoin_wallet* and *libbitcoin_node* libraries, because these libraries are intended to be modular and not depend on each other's internal implementation details. But wallet code is still able to call node code indirectly through the `interfaces::Chain` abstract class in [`interfaces/chain.h`](../../src/interfaces/chain.h) and node code calls wallet code through the `interfaces::ChainClient` and `interfaces::Chain::Notifications` abstract classes in the same file. In general, defining abstract classes in [`src/interfaces/`](../../src/interfaces/) can be a convenient way of avoiding unwanted direct dependencies or circular dependencies between libraries.
- *libbitcoin_consensus* should be a standalone dependency that any library can depend on, and it should not depend on any other libraries itself.
- *libbitcoin_util* should also be a standalone dependency that any library can depend on, and it should not depend on other internal libraries.
- *libbitcoin_common* should serve a similar function as *libbitcoin_util* and be a place for miscellaneous code used by various daemon, GUI, and CLI applications and libraries to live. It should not depend on anything other than *libbitcoin_util* and *libbitcoin_consensus*. The boundary between _util_ and _common_ is a little fuzzy but historically _util_ has been used for more generic, lower-level things like parsing hex, and _common_ has been used for bitcoin-specific, higher-level things like parsing base58. The difference between util and common is mostly important because *libbitcoin_kernel* is not supposed to depend on *libbitcoin_common*, only *libbitcoin_util*. In general, if it is ever unclear whether it is better to add code to *util* or *common*, it is probably better to add it to *common* unless it is very generically useful or useful particularly to include in the kernel.
- *libbitcoin_kernel* should only depend on *libbitcoin_util* and *libbitcoin_consensus*.
- The only thing that should depend on *libbitcoin_kernel* internally should be *libbitcoin_node*. GUI and wallet libraries *libbitcoinqt* and *libbitcoin_wallet* in particular should not depend on *libbitcoin_kernel* and the unneeded functionality it would pull in, like block validation. To the extent that GUI and wallet code need scripting and signing functionality, they should be get able it from *libbitcoin_consensus*, *libbitcoin_common*, and *libbitcoin_util*, instead of *libbitcoin_kernel*.
- GUI, node, and wallet code internal implementations should all be independent of each other, and the *libbitcoinqt*, *libbitcoin_node*, *libbitcoin_wallet* libraries should never reference each other's symbols. They should only call each other through [`src/interfaces/`](`../../src/interfaces/`) abstract interfaces.
## Work in progress
- Validation code is moving from *libbitcoin_node* to *libbitcoin_kernel* as part of [The libbitcoinkernel Project #24303](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/24303)
- Source code organization is discussed in general in [Library source code organization #15732](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/15732)

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.2.md | 0.21.2 Release Notes
====================
Bitcoin Core version 0.21.2 is now available from:
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.21.2/>
This minor release includes various bug fixes and performance
improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
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 in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.12+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.
From Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.12 are no
longer supported. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance
when macOS "dark mode" is activated.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.3.24.md | Bitcoin v0.3.24 is now available for download at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.24/
This is another bug fix release. We had hoped to have wallet encryption ready for release, but more urgent fixes for existing clients were needed -- most notably block download problems were getting severe. Wallet encryption is ready for testing at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/352 for the git-savvy, and hopefully will follow shortly in the next release, v0.4.
Notable fixes in v0.3.24, and the main reasons for this release:
F1) Block downloads were failing or taking unreasonable amounts of time to complete, because the increased size of the block chain was bumping up against some earlier buffer-size DoS limits.
F2) Fix crash caused by loss/lack of network connection.
Notable changes in v0.3.24:
C1) DNS seeding enabled by default.
C2) UPNP enabled by default in the GUI client. The percentage of bitcoin clients that accept incoming connections is quite small, and that is a problem. This should help. bitcoind, and unofficial builds, are unchanged (though we encourage use of "-upnp" to help the network!)
C3) Initial unit testing framework. Bitcoin sorely needs automated tests, and this is a beginning. Contributions welcome.
C4) Internal wallet code cleanup. While invisible to an end user, this change provides the basis for v0.4's wallet encryption.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.5.3.md | Bitcoin version 0.5.3 is now available for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.3/
This is a bugfix-only release based on 0.5.1.
It also includes a few protocol updates.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
Stable source code is hosted at Gitorious:
http://gitorious.org/bitcoin/bitcoind-stable/archive-tarball/v0.5.3#.tar.gz
PROTOCOL UPDATES
BIP 30: Introduce a new network rule: "a block is not valid if it contains a transaction whose hash already exists in the block chain, unless all that transaction's outputs were already spent before said block" beginning on March 15, 2012, 00:00 UTC.
On testnet, allow mining of min-difficulty blocks if 20 minutes have gone by without mining a regular-difficulty block. This is to make testing Bitcoin easier, and will not affect normal mode.
BUG FIXES
Limit the number of orphan transactions stored in memory, to prevent a potential denial-of-service attack by flooding orphan transactions. Also never store invalid transactions at all.
Fix possible buffer overflow on systems with very long application data paths. This is not exploitable.
Resolved multiple bugs preventing long-term unlocking of encrypted wallets
(issue #922).
Only send local IP in "version" messages if it is globally routable (ie, not private), and try to get such an IP from UPnP if applicable.
Reannounce UPnP port forwards every 20 minutes, to workaround routers expiring old entries, and allow the -upnp option to override any stored setting.
Skip splash screen when -min is used, and fix Minimize to Tray function.
Do not blank "label" in Bitcoin-Qt "Send" tab, if the user has already entered something.
Correct various labels and messages.
Various memory leaks and potential null pointer deferences have been fixed.
Handle invalid Bitcoin URIs using "bitcoin://" instead of "bitcoin:".
Several shutdown issues have been fixed.
Revert to "global progress indication", as starting from zero every time was considered too confusing for many users.
Check that keys stored in the wallet are valid at startup, and if not, report corruption.
Enable accessible widgets on Windows, so that people with screen readers such as NVDA can make sense of it.
Various build fixes.
If no password is specified to bitcoind, recommend a secure password.
Automatically focus and scroll to new "Send coins" entries in Bitcoin-Qt.
Show a message box for --help on Windows, for Bitcoin-Qt.
Add missing "About Qt" menu option to show built-in Qt About dialog.
Don't show "-daemon" as an option for Bitcoin-Qt, since it isn't available.
Update hard-coded fallback seed nodes, choosing recent ones with long uptime and versions at least 0.4.0.
Add checkpoint at block 168,000.

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).
The first time you run version 0.15.0, your chainstate database will be converted to a
new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour,
depending on the speed of your machine.
The file format of `fee_estimates.dat` changed in version 0.15.0. Hence, a
downgrade from version 0.15.0 or upgrade to version 0.15.0 will cause all fee
estimates to be discarded.
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported.
However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
Downgrading warning
-------------------
The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous
releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any
older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate`
option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format.
If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and
processing the entire blockchain.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
frequently tested on them.
Notes for 0.15.0
================
Current SegWit support
----------------------
Version 0.15.0 supports adding a segregated witness address via the `addwitnessaddress` RPC, but
please note that this is a testing/expert RPC, which does not guarantee recovery from backup. Only use
this RPC if you know what you are doing. More complete wallet support for segregated witness is coming
in a next version.
Rescanning with encrypted wallets
---------------------------------
As in previous versions, when using an encrypted HD wallet, the keypool cannot be topped up without unlocking
the wallet. This means that currently, in order to recover from a backup of an encrypted HD wallet, the user
must unlock the wallet with a really long timeout and manually trigger a rescan, otherwise they risk missing
some keys when auto-topup cannot run. Unfortunately there is no `rescan` RPC in this version, that will be
included in a future version, so for now a rescan can be triggered using one of the `import*` commands, using
a dummy address generated by another (trusted) wallet.
Notable changes
===============
Performance Improvements
------------------------
Version 0.15 contains a number of significant performance improvements, which make
Initial Block Download, startup, transaction and block validation much faster:
- The chainstate database (which is used for tracking UTXOs) has been changed
from a per-transaction model to a per-output model (See [PR 10195](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10195)). Advantages of this model
are that it:
- avoids the CPU overhead of deserializing and serializing the unused outputs;
- has more predictable memory usage;
- uses simpler code;
- is adaptable to various future cache flushing strategies.
As a result, validating the blockchain during Initial Block Download (IBD) and reindex
is ~30-40% faster, uses 10-20% less memory, and flushes to disk far less frequently.
The only downside is that the on-disk database is 15% larger. During the conversion from the previous format
a few extra gigabytes may be used.
- Earlier versions experienced a spike in memory usage while flushing UTXO updates to disk.
As a result, only half of the available memory was actually used as cache, and the other half was
reserved to accommodate flushing. This is no longer the case (See [PR 10148](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10148)), and the entirety of
the available cache (see `-dbcache`) is now actually used as cache. This reduces the flushing
frequency by a factor 2 or more.
- In previous versions, signature validation for transactions has been cached when the
transaction is accepted to the mempool. Version 0.15 extends this to cache the entire script
validity (See [PR 10192](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10192)). This means that if a transaction in a block has already been accepted to the
mempool, the scriptSig does not need to be re-evaluated. Empirical tests show that
this results in new block validation being 40-50% faster.
- LevelDB has been upgraded to version 1.20 (See [PR 10544](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10544)). This version contains hardware acceleration for CRC
on architectures supporting SSE 4.2. As a result, synchronization and block validation are now faster.
- SHA256 hashing has been optimized for architectures supporting SSE 4 (See [PR 10821](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10821)). SHA256 is around
50% faster on supported hardware, which results in around 5% faster IBD and block
validation. In version 0.15, SHA256 hardware optimization is disabled in release builds by
default, but can be enabled by using `--enable-experimental-asm` when building.
- Refill of the keypool no longer flushes the wallet between each key which resulted in a ~20x speedup in creating a new wallet. Part of this speedup was used to increase the default keypool to 1000 keys to make recovery more robust. (See [PR 10831](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10831)).
Fee Estimation Improvements
---------------------------
Fee estimation has been significantly improved in version 0.15, with more accurate fee estimates used by the wallet and a wider range of options for advanced users of the `estimatesmartfee` and `estimaterawfee` RPCs (See [PR 10199](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10199)).
### Changes to internal logic and wallet behavior
- Internally, estimates are now tracked on 3 different time horizons. This allows for longer targets and means estimates adjust more quickly to changes in conditions.
- Estimates can now be *conservative* or *economical*. *Conservative* estimates use longer time horizons to produce an estimate which is less susceptible to rapid changes in fee conditions. *Economical* estimates use shorter time horizons and will be more affected by short-term changes in fee conditions. Economical estimates may be considerably lower during periods of low transaction activity (for example over weekends), but may result in transactions being unconfirmed if prevailing fees increase rapidly.
- By default, the wallet will use conservative fee estimates to increase the reliability of transactions being confirmed within the desired target. For transactions that are marked as replaceable, the wallet will use an economical estimate by default, since the fee can be 'bumped' if the fee conditions change rapidly (See [PR 10589](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10589)).
- Estimates can now be made for confirmation targets up to 1008 blocks (one week).
- More data on historical fee rates is stored, leading to more precise fee estimates.
- Transactions which leave the mempool due to eviction or other non-confirmed reasons are now taken into account by the fee estimation logic, leading to more accurate fee estimates.
- The fee estimation logic will make sure enough data has been gathered to return a meaningful estimate. If there is insufficient data, a fallback default fee is used.
### Changes to fee estimate RPCs
- The `estimatefee` RPC is now deprecated in favor of using only `estimatesmartfee` (which is the implementation used by the GUI)
- The `estimatesmartfee` RPC interface has been changed (See [PR 10707](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10707)):
- The `nblocks` argument has been renamed to `conf_target` (to be consistent with other RPC methods).
- An `estimate_mode` argument has been added. This argument takes one of the following strings: `CONSERVATIVE`, `ECONOMICAL` or `UNSET` (which defaults to `CONSERVATIVE`).
- The RPC return object now contains an `errors` member, which returns errors encountered during processing.
- If Bitcoin Core has not been running for long enough and has not seen enough blocks or transactions to produce an accurate fee estimation, an error will be returned (previously a value of -1 was used to indicate an error, which could be confused for a feerate).
- A new `estimaterawfee` RPC is added to provide raw fee data. External clients can query and use this data in their own fee estimation logic.
Multi-wallet support
--------------------
Bitcoin Core now supports loading multiple, separate wallets (See [PR 8694](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8694), [PR 10849](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10849)). The wallets are completely separated, with individual balances, keys and received transactions.
Multi-wallet is enabled by using more than one `-wallet` argument when starting Bitcoin, either on the command line or in the Bitcoin config file.
**In Bitcoin-Qt, only the first wallet will be displayed and accessible for creating and signing transactions.** GUI selectable multiple wallets will be supported in a future version. However, even in 0.15 other loaded wallets will remain synchronized to the node's current tip in the background. This can be useful if running a pruned node, since loading a wallet where the most recent sync is beyond the pruned height results in having to download and revalidate the whole blockchain. Continuing to synchronize all wallets in the background avoids this problem.
Bitcoin Core 0.15.0 contains the following changes to the RPC interface and `bitcoin-cli` for multi-wallet:
* When running Bitcoin Core with a single wallet, there are **no** changes to the RPC interface or `bitcoin-cli`. All RPC calls and `bitcoin-cli` commands continue to work as before.
* When running Bitcoin Core with multi-wallet, all *node-level* RPC methods continue to work as before. HTTP RPC requests should be send to the normal `<RPC IP address>:<RPC port>` endpoint, and `bitcoin-cli` commands should be run as before. A *node-level* RPC method is any method which does not require access to the wallet.
* When running Bitcoin Core with multi-wallet, *wallet-level* RPC methods must specify the wallet for which they're intended in every request. HTTP RPC requests should be send to the `<RPC IP address>:<RPC port>/wallet/<wallet name>` endpoint, for example `127.0.0.1:8332/wallet/wallet1.dat`. `bitcoin-cli` commands should be run with a `-rpcwallet` option, for example `bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=wallet1.dat getbalance`.
* A new *node-level* `listwallets` RPC method is added to display which wallets are currently loaded. The names returned by this method are the same as those used in the HTTP endpoint and for the `rpcwallet` argument.
Note that while multi-wallet is now fully supported, the RPC multi-wallet interface should be considered unstable for version 0.15.0, and there may backwards-incompatible changes in future versions.
Replace-by-fee control in the GUI
---------------------------------
Bitcoin Core has supported creating opt-in replace-by-fee (RBF) transactions
since version 0.12.0, and since version 0.14.0 has included a `bumpfee` RPC method to
replace unconfirmed opt-in RBF transactions with a new transaction that pays
a higher fee.
In version 0.15, creating an opt-in RBF transaction and replacing the unconfirmed
transaction with a higher-fee transaction are both supported in the GUI (See [PR 9592](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9592)).
Removal of Coin Age Priority
----------------------------
In previous versions of Bitcoin Core, a portion of each block could be reserved for transactions based on the age and value of UTXOs they spent. This concept (Coin Age Priority) is a policy choice by miners, and there are no consensus rules around the inclusion of Coin Age Priority transactions in blocks. In practice, only a few miners continue to use Coin Age Priority for transaction selection in blocks. Bitcoin Core 0.15 removes all remaining support for Coin Age Priority (See [PR 9602](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9602)). This has the following implications:
- The concept of *free transactions* has been removed. High Coin Age Priority transactions would previously be allowed to be relayed even if they didn't attach a miner fee. This is no longer possible since there is no concept of Coin Age Priority. The `-limitfreerelay` and `-relaypriority` options which controlled relay of free transactions have therefore been removed.
- The `-sendfreetransactions` option has been removed, since almost all miners do not include transactions which do not attach a transaction fee.
- The `-blockprioritysize` option has been removed.
- The `estimatepriority` and `estimatesmartpriority` RPCs have been removed.
- The `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants`, `getmempoolentry` and `getrawmempool` RPCs no longer return `startingpriority` and `currentpriority`.
- The `prioritisetransaction` RPC no longer takes a `priority_delta` argument, which is replaced by a `dummy` argument for backwards compatibility with clients using positional arguments. The RPC is still used to change the apparent fee-rate of the transaction by using the `fee_delta` argument.
- `-minrelaytxfee` can now be set to 0. If `minrelaytxfee` is set, then fees smaller than `minrelaytxfee` (per kB) are rejected from relaying, mining and transaction creation. This defaults to 1000 satoshi/kB.
- The `-printpriority` option has been updated to only output the fee rate and hash of transactions included in a block by the mining code.
Mempool Persistence Across Restarts
-----------------------------------
Version 0.14 introduced mempool persistence across restarts (the mempool is saved to a `mempool.dat` file in the data directory prior to shutdown and restores the mempool when the node is restarted). Version 0.15 allows this feature to be switched on or off using the `-persistmempool` command-line option (See [PR 9966](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9966)). By default, the option is set to true, and the mempool is saved on shutdown and reloaded on startup. If set to false, the `mempool.dat` file will not be loaded on startup or saved on shutdown.
New RPC methods
---------------
Version 0.15 introduces several new RPC methods:
- `abortrescan` stops current wallet rescan, e.g. when triggered by an `importprivkey` call (See [PR 10208](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10208)).
- `combinerawtransaction` accepts a JSON array of raw transactions and combines them into a single raw transaction (See [PR 10571](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10571)).
- `estimaterawfee` returns raw fee data so that customized logic can be implemented to analyze the data and calculate estimates. See [Fee Estimation Improvements](#fee-estimation-improvements) for full details on changes to the fee estimation logic and interface.
- `getchaintxstats` returns statistics about the total number and rate of transactions
in the chain (See [PR 9733](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9733)).
- `listwallets` lists wallets which are currently loaded. See the *Multi-wallet* section
of these release notes for full details (See [Multi-wallet support](#multi-wallet-support)).
- `uptime` returns the total runtime of the `bitcoind` server since its last start (See [PR 10400](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10400)).
Low-level RPC changes
---------------------
- When using Bitcoin Core in multi-wallet mode, RPC requests for wallet methods must specify
the wallet that they're intended for. See [Multi-wallet support](#multi-wallet-support) for full details.
- The new database model no longer stores information about transaction
versions of unspent outputs (See [Performance improvements](#performance-improvements)). This means that:
- The `gettxout` RPC no longer has a `version` field in the response.
- The `gettxoutsetinfo` RPC reports `hash_serialized_2` instead of `hash_serialized`,
which does not commit to the transaction versions of unspent outputs, but does
commit to the height and coinbase information.
- The `getutxos` REST path no longer reports the `txvers` field in JSON format,
and always reports 0 for transaction versions in the binary format
- The `estimatefee` RPC is deprecated. Clients should switch to using the `estimatesmartfee` RPC, which returns better fee estimates. See [Fee Estimation Improvements](#fee-estimation-improvements) for full details on changes to the fee estimation logic and interface.
- The `gettxoutsetinfo` response now contains `disk_size` and `bogosize` instead of
`bytes_serialized`. The first is a more accurate estimate of actual disk usage, but
is not deterministic. The second is unrelated to disk usage, but is a
database-independent metric of UTXO set size: it counts every UTXO entry as 50 + the
length of its scriptPubKey (See [PR 10426](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10426)).
- `signrawtransaction` can no longer be used to combine multiple transactions into a single transaction. Instead, use the new `combinerawtransaction` RPC (See [PR 10571](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10571)).
- `fundrawtransaction` no longer accepts a `reserveChangeKey` option. This option used to allow RPC users to fund a raw transaction using an key from the keypool for the change address without removing it from the available keys in the keypool. The key could then be re-used for a `getnewaddress` call, which could potentially result in confusing or dangerous behaviour (See [PR 10784](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10784)).
- `estimatepriority` and `estimatesmartpriority` have been removed. See [Removal of Coin Age Priority](#removal-of-coin-age-priority).
- The `listunspent` RPC now takes a `query_options` argument (see [PR 8952](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8952)), which is a JSON object
containing one or more of the following members:
- `minimumAmount` - a number specifying the minimum value of each UTXO
- `maximumAmount` - a number specifying the maximum value of each UTXO
- `maximumCount` - a number specifying the minimum number of UTXOs
- `minimumSumAmount` - a number specifying the minimum sum value of all UTXOs
- The `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants`, `getmempoolentry` and `getrawmempool` RPCs no longer return `startingpriority` and `currentpriority`. See [Removal of Coin Age Priority](#removal-of-coin-age-priority).
- The `dumpwallet` RPC now returns the full absolute path to the dumped wallet. It
used to return no value, even if successful (See [PR 9740](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9740)).
- In the `getpeerinfo` RPC, the return object for each peer now returns an `addrbind` member, which contains the ip address and port of the connection to the peer. This is in addition to the `addrlocal` member which contains the ip address and port of the local node as reported by the peer (See [PR 10478](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10478)).
- The `disconnectnode` RPC can now disconnect a node specified by node ID (as well as by IP address/port). To disconnect a node based on node ID, call the RPC with the new `nodeid` argument (See [PR 10143](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10143)).
- The second argument in `prioritisetransaction` has been renamed from `priority_delta` to `dummy` since Bitcoin Core no longer has a concept of coin age priority. The `dummy` argument has no functional effect, but is retained for positional argument compatibility. See [Removal of Coin Age Priority](#removal-of-coin-age-priority).
- The `resendwallettransactions` RPC throws an error if the `-walletbroadcast` option is set to false (See [PR 10995](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10995)).
- The second argument in the `submitblock` RPC argument has been renamed from `parameters` to `dummy`. This argument never had any effect, and the renaming is simply to communicate this fact to the user (See [PR 10191](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10191))
(Clients should, however, use positional arguments for `submitblock` in order to be compatible with BIP 22.)
- The `verbose` argument of `getblock` has been renamed to `verbosity` and now takes an integer from 0 to 2. Verbose level 0 is equivalent to `verbose=false`. Verbose level 1 is equivalent to `verbose=true`. Verbose level 2 will give the full transaction details of each transaction in the output as given by `getrawtransaction`. The old behavior of using the `verbose` named argument and a boolean value is still maintained for compatibility.
- Error codes have been updated to be more accurate for the following error cases (See [PR 9853](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9853)):
- `getblock` now returns RPC_MISC_ERROR if the block can't be found on disk (for
example if the block has been pruned). Previously returned RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR.
- `pruneblockchain` now returns RPC_MISC_ERROR if the blocks cannot be pruned
because the node is not in pruned mode. Previously returned RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND.
- `pruneblockchain` now returns RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER if the blocks cannot be pruned
because the supplied timestamp is too late. Previously returned RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR.
- `pruneblockchain` now returns RPC_MISC_ERROR if the blocks cannot be pruned
because the blockchain is too short. Previously returned RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR.
- `setban` now returns RPC_CLIENT_INVALID_IP_OR_SUBNET if the supplied IP address
or subnet is invalid. Previously returned RPC_CLIENT_NODE_ALREADY_ADDED.
- `setban` now returns RPC_CLIENT_INVALID_IP_OR_SUBNET if the user tries to unban
a node that has not previously been banned. Previously returned RPC_MISC_ERROR.
- `removeprunedfunds` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if `bitcoind` is unable to remove
the transaction. Previously returned RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR.
- `removeprunedfunds` now returns RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER if the transaction does not
exist in the wallet. Previously returned RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR.
- `fundrawtransaction` now returns RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY if an invalid change
address is provided. Previously returned RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER.
- `fundrawtransaction` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if `bitcoind` is unable to create
the transaction. The error message provides further details. Previously returned
RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER if the provided transaction has
descendants in the wallet. Previously returned RPC_MISC_ERROR.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER if the provided transaction has
descendants in the mempool. Previously returned RPC_MISC_ERROR.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if the provided transaction has
has been mined or conflicts with a mined transaction. Previously returned
RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if the provided transaction is not
BIP 125 replaceable. Previously returned RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if the provided transaction has already
been bumped by a different transaction. Previously returned RPC_INVALID_REQUEST.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if the provided transaction contains
inputs which don't belong to this wallet. Previously returned RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if the provided transaction has multiple change
outputs. Previously returned RPC_MISC_ERROR.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if the provided transaction has no change
output. Previously returned RPC_MISC_ERROR.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if the fee is too high. Previously returned
RPC_MISC_ERROR.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if the fee is too low. Previously returned
RPC_MISC_ERROR.
- `bumpfee` now returns RPC_WALLET_ERROR if the change output is too small to bump the
fee. Previously returned RPC_MISC_ERROR.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.14.1.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.14.1 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.14.1/>
This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and
performance improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later.
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you
can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues.
Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
frequently tested on them.
Notable changes
===============
RPC changes
-----------
- The first positional argument of `createrawtransaction` was renamed from
`transactions` to `inputs`.
- The argument of `disconnectnode` was renamed from `node` to `address`.
These interface changes break compatibility with 0.14.0, when the named
arguments functionality, introduced in 0.14.0, is used. Client software
using these calls with named arguments needs to be updated.
Mining
------
In previous versions, getblocktemplate required segwit support from downstream
clients/miners once the feature activated on the network. In this version, it
now supports non-segwit clients even after activation, by removing all segwit
transactions from the returned block template. This allows non-segwit miners to
continue functioning correctly even after segwit has activated.
Due to the limitations in previous versions, getblocktemplate also recommended
non-segwit clients to not signal for the segwit version-bit. Since this is no
longer an issue, getblocktemplate now always recommends signalling segwit for
all miners. This is safe because ability to enforce the rule is the only
required criteria for safe activation, not actually producing segwit-enabled
blocks.
UTXO memory accounting
----------------------
Memory usage for the UTXO cache is being calculated more accurately, so that
the configured limit (`-dbcache`) will be respected when memory usage peaks
during cache flushes. The memory accounting in prior releases is estimated to
only account for half the actual peak utilization.
The default `-dbcache` has also been changed in this release to 450MiB. Users
who currently set `-dbcache` to a high value (e.g. to keep the UTXO more fully
cached in memory) should consider increasing this setting in order to achieve
the same cache performance as prior releases. Users on low-memory systems
(such as systems with 1GB or less) should consider specifying a lower value for
this parameter.
Additional information relating to running on low-memory systems can be found
here:
[reducing-bitcoind-memory-usage.md](https://gist.github.com/laanwj/efe29c7661ce9b6620a7).

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.8.6.md | Bitcoin-Qt version 0.8.6 final is now available from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.6/
This is a maintenance release to fix a critical bug; we urge all users to upgrade.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
How to Upgrade
--------------
If you already downloaded 0.8.6rc1 you do not need to re-download. This release is exactly the same.
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).
If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you
run 0.8.6 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take
anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of
your machine.
0.8.6 Release notes
===================
- Default block size increase for miners.
(see https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/7670433#086-accept-into-block)
- Remove the all-outputs-must-be-greater-than-CENT-to-qualify-as-free rule for relaying
(see https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/7670433#086-relaying)
- Lower maximum size for free transaction creation
(see https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/7670433#086-wallet)
- OSX block chain database corruption fixes
- Update leveldb to 1.13
- Use fcntl with `F_FULLSYNC` instead of fsync on OSX
- Use native Darwin memory barriers
- Replace use of mmap in leveldb for improved reliability (only on OSX)
- Fix nodes forwarding transactions with empty vins and getting banned
- Network code performance and robustness improvements
- Additional debug.log logging for diagnosis of network problems, log timestamps by default
- Fix Bitcoin-Qt startup crash when clicking dock icon on OSX
- Fix memory leaks in CKey::SetCompactSignature() and Key::SignCompact()

Warning
-------
- There have been frequent reports of users running out of virtual memory on 32-bit systems
during the initial sync.
Hence it is recommended to use a 64-bit executable if possible.
A 64-bit executable for Windows is planned for 0.9.
Note: Gavin Andresen's GPG signing key for SHA256SUMS.asc has been changed from key id 1FC730C1 to sub key 7BF6E212 (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/pull/279).

For Ubuntu users, there is a ppa maintained by Matt Corallo which
you can add to your system so that it will automatically keep
bitcoin up-to-date. Just type
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package.
KNOWN ISSUES
Shutting down while synchronizing with the network
(downloading the blockchain) can take more than a minute,
because database writes are queued to speed up download
time.
NEW FEATURES SINCE BITCOIN VERSION 0.5
Initial network synchronization should be much faster
(one or two hours on a typical machine instead of ten or more
hours).
Backup Wallet menu option.
Bitcoin-Qt can display and save QR codes for sending
and receiving addresses.
New context menu on addresses to copy/edit/delete them.
New Sign Message dialog that allows you to prove that you
own a bitcoin address by creating a digital
signature.
New wallets created with this version will
use 33-byte 'compressed' public keys instead of
65-byte public keys, resulting in smaller
transactions and less traffic on the bitcoin
network. The shorter keys are already supported
by the network but wallet.dat files containing
short keys are not compatible with earlier
versions of Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind.
New command-line argument -blocknotify=<command>
that will spawn a shell process to run <command>
when a new block is accepted.
New command-line argument -splash=0 to disable
Bitcoin-Qt's initial splash screen
validateaddress JSON-RPC api command output includes
two new fields for addresses in the wallet:
pubkey : hexadecimal public key
iscompressed : true if pubkey is a short 33-byte key
New JSON-RPC api commands for dumping/importing
private keys from the wallet (dumprivkey, importprivkey).
New JSON-RPC api command for getting information about
blocks (getblock, getblockhash).
New JSON-RPC api command (getmininginfo) for getting
extra information related to mining. The getinfo
JSON-RPC command no longer includes mining-related
information (generate/genproclimit/hashespersec).
NOTABLE CHANGES
BIP30 implemented (security fix for an attack involving
duplicate "coinbase transactions").
The -nolisten, -noupnp and -nodnsseed command-line
options were renamed to -listen, -upnp and -dnsseed,
with a default value of 1. The old names are still
supported for compatibility (so specifying -nolisten
is automatically interpreted as -listen=0; every
boolean argument can now be specified as either
-foo or -nofoo).
The -noirc command-line options was renamed to
-irc, with a default value of 0. Run -irc=1 to
get the old behavior.
Three fill-up-available-memory denial-of-service
attacks were fixed.
NOT YET IMPLEMENTED FEATURES
Support for clicking on bitcoin: URIs and
opening/launching Bitcoin-Qt is available only on Linux,
and only if you configure your desktop to launch
Bitcoin-Qt. All platforms support dragging and dropping
bitcoin: URIs onto the Bitcoin-Qt window to start
payment.
PRELIMINARY SUPPORT FOR MULTISIGNATURE TRANSACTIONS
This release has preliminary support for multisignature
transactions-- transactions that require authorization
from more than one person or device before they
will be accepted by the bitcoin network.
Prior to this release, multisignature transactions
were considered 'non-standard' and were ignored;
with this release multisignature transactions are
considered standard and will start to be relayed
and accepted into blocks.
It is expected that future releases of Bitcoin-Qt
will support the creation of multisignature transactions,
once enough of the network has upgraded so relaying
and validating them is robust.
For this release, creation and testing of multisignature
transactions is limited to the bitcoin test network using
the "addmultisigaddress" JSON-RPC api call.
Short multisignature address support is included in this
release, as specified in BIP 13 and BIP 16.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.9.3.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.9.3 is now available from:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.3/
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
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).
If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run
0.9.3 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from
30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
Downgrading warnings
--------------------
The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous
releases, so if you run 0.9.x and then decide to switch back to a
0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the
old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of
unspent transaction outputs).
Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate
data structures and correct the problem.
Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan
the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens
of minutes on a typical machine).
0.9.3 Release notes
=======================
RPC:
- Avoid a segfault on getblock if it can't read a block from disk
- Add paranoid return value checks in base58
Protocol and network code:
- Don't poll showmyip.com, it doesn't exist anymore
- Add a way to limit deserialized string lengths and use it
- Add a new checkpoint at block 295,000
- Increase IsStandard() scriptSig length
- Avoid querying DNS seeds, if we have open connections
- Remove a useless millisleep in socket handler
- Stricter memory limits on CNode
- Better orphan transaction handling
- Add `-maxorphantx=<n>` and `-maxorphanblocks=<n>` options for control over the maximum orphan transactions and blocks
Wallet:
- Check redeemScript size does not exceed 520 byte limit
- Ignore (and warn about) too-long redeemScripts while loading wallet
GUI:
- fix 'opens in testnet mode when presented with a BIP-72 link with no fallback'
- AvailableCoins: acquire cs_main mutex
- Fix unicode character display on MacOSX
Miscellaneous:
- key.cpp: fail with a friendlier message on missing ssl EC support
- Remove bignum dependency for scripts
- Upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.1i (see https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140806.txt - just to be sure, no critical issues for Bitcoin Core)
- Upgrade miniupnpc to 1.9.20140701
- Fix boost detection in build system on some platforms

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).
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database will be converted to a
new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour,
depending on the speed of your machine.
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0 or higher. Upgrading
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without re-downloading the blockchain is not supported.
However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
Downgrading warning
-------------------
Wallets created in 0.16 and later are not compatible with versions prior to 0.16
and will not work if you try to use newly created wallets in older versions. Existing
wallets that were created with older versions are not affected by this.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
frequently tested on them.
Notable changes
===============
Denial-of-Service vulnerability
-------------------------------
A denial-of-service vulnerability (CVE-2018-17144) exploitable by miners has
been discovered in Bitcoin Core versions 0.14.0 up to 0.16.2. It is recommended
to upgrade any of the vulnerable versions to 0.16.3 as soon as possible.
0.16.3 change log
------------------
### Consensus
- #14249 `696b936` Fix crash bug with duplicate inputs within a transaction (TheBlueMatt, sdaftuar)
### RPC and other APIs
- #13547 `212ef1f` Make `signrawtransaction*` give an error when amount is needed but missing (ajtowns)
### Miscellaneous
- #13655 `1cdbea7` bitcoinconsensus: invalid flags error should be set to `bitcoinconsensus_err` (afk11)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.2/
This is a maintenance release that fixes many bugs and includes
a few small new features.
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).
If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you
run 0.8.2 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take
anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of
your machine.
0.8.2 Release notes
Fee Policy changes
The default fee for low-priority transactions is lowered from 0.0005 BTC
(for each 1,000 bytes in the transaction; an average transaction is
about 500 bytes) to 0.0001 BTC.
Payments (transaction outputs) of 0.543 times the minimum relay fee
(0.00005430 BTC) are now considered 'non-standard', because storing them
costs the network more than they are worth and spending them will usually
cost their owner more in transaction fees than they are worth.
Non-standard transactions are not relayed across the network, are not included
in blocks by most miners, and will not show up in your wallet until they are
included in a block.
The default fee policy can be overridden using the -mintxfee and -minrelaytxfee
command-line options, but note that we intend to replace the hard-coded fees
with code that automatically calculates and suggests appropriate fees in the
0.9 release and note that if you set a fee policy significantly different from
the rest of the network your transactions may never confirm.
Bitcoin-Qt changes
* New icon and splash screen
* Improve reporting of synchronization process
* Remove hardcoded fee recommendations
* Improve metadata of executable on MacOSX and Windows
* Move export button to individual tabs instead of toolbar
* Add "send coins" command to context menu in address book
* Add "copy txid" command to copy transaction IDs from transaction overview
* Save & restore window size and position when showing & hiding window
* New translations: Arabic (ar), Bosnian (bs), Catalan (ca), Welsh (cy),
Esperanto (eo), Interlingua (la), Latvian (lv) and many improvements
to current translations
MacOSX:
* OSX support for click-to-pay (bitcoin:) links
* Fix GUI disappearing problem on MacOSX (issue #1522)
Linux/Unix:
* Copy addresses to middle-mouse-button clipboard
Command-line options
* -walletnotify will call a command on receiving transactions that affect the wallet.
* -alertnotify will call a command on receiving an alert from the network.
* -par now takes a negative number, to leave a certain amount of cores free.
JSON-RPC API changes
* fixed a getblocktemplate bug that caused excessive CPU creating blocks.
* listunspent now lists account and address information.
* getinfo now also returns the time adjustment estimated from your peers.
* getpeerinfo now returns bytessent, bytesrecv and syncnode.
* gettxoutsetinfo returns statistics about the unspent transaction output database.
* gettxout returns information about a specific unspent transaction output.
Networking changes
* Significant changes to the networking code, reducing latency and memory consumption.
* Avoid initial block download stalling.
* Remove IRC seeding support.
* Performance tweaks.
* Added testnet DNS seeds.
Wallet compatibility/rescuing
* Cases where wallets cannot be opened in another version/installation should be reduced.
* -salvagewallet now works for encrypted wallets.
Known Bugs
* Entering the 'getblocktemplate' or 'getwork' RPC commands into the Bitcoin-Qt debug
console will cause Bitcoin-Qt to crash. Run Bitcoin-Qt with the -server command-line
option to workaround.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.7.1.md | Bitcoin version 0.7.1 is now available from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.1/
This is a bug-fix minor release.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
Project source code is hosted at github; you can get
source-only tarballs/zipballs directly from there:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tarball/v0.7.1 # .tar.gz
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/zipball/v0.7.1 # .zip
Ubuntu Linux users can use the "Personal Package Archive" (PPA)
maintained by Matt Corallo to automatically keep
up-to-date. Just type:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package:
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
KNOWN ISSUES
------------
Mac OSX 10.5 is no longer supported.
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).
If you were running on Linux with a version that might have been compiled
with a different version of Berkeley DB (for example, if you were using an
Ubuntu PPA version), then run the old version again with the -detachdb
argument and shut it down; if you do not, then the new version will not
be able to read the database files and will exit with an error.
Explanation of -detachdb (and the new "stop true" RPC command):
The Berkeley DB database library stores data in both ".dat" and
"log" files, so the database is always in a consistent state,
even in case of power failure or other sudden shutdown. The
format of the ".dat" files is portable between different
versions of Berkeley DB, but the "log" files are not-- even minor
version differences may have incompatible "log" files. The
-detachdb option moves any pending changes from the "log" files
to the "blkindex.dat" file for maximum compatibility, but makes
shutdown much slower. Note that the "wallet.dat" file is always
detached, and versions prior to 0.6.0 detached all databases
at shutdown.
New features
------------
* Added a boolean argument to the RPC 'stop' command, if true sets
-detachdb to create standalone database .dat files before shutting down.
* -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.
* Import $DataDir/bootstrap.dat automatically, if it exists.
Dependency changes
------------------
* Qt 4.8.2 for Windows builds
* openssl 1.0.1c
Bug fixes
---------
* Clicking on a bitcoin: URI on Windows should now launch Bitcoin-Qt properly.
* When running -testnet, use RPC port 18332 by default.
* 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.
* Fixed an uninitialized variable bug that could cause transactions to
be reported out of order.
* Fixed a bug that could cause occasional crashes on exit.
* Warn the user that they need to create fresh wallet backups after they
encrypt their wallet.

This is a new minor version release, including new features, various bug
fixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations.

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).
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database
will be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few
minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and
there is no automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version
0.15.0 or later. Upgrading directly from 0.7.x and earlier without
redownloading the blockchain is not supported. However, as usual, old
wallet versions are still supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not
recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
as frequently tested on them.
From 0.17.0 onwards, macOS <10.10 is no longer supported. 0.17.0 is
built using Qt 5.9.x, which doesn't support versions of macOS older than
10.10. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance when
macOS "dark mode" is activated.
Known issues
============
Wallet GUI
----------
For advanced users who have both (1) enabled coin control features, and
(2) are using multiple wallets loaded at the same time: The coin control
input selection dialog can erroneously retain wrong-wallet state when
switching wallets using the dropdown menu. For now, it is recommended
not to use coin control features with multiple wallets loaded.

This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance
improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:

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 in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS)
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 11.0+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.
Notable changes
===============
P2P and network changes
-----------------------
- Experimental support for the v2 transport protocol defined in
[BIP324](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0324.mediawiki) was added.
It is off by default, but when enabled using `-v2transport` it will be negotiated
on a per-connection basis with other peers that support it too. The existing
v1 transport protocol remains fully supported.
- Nodes with multiple reachable networks will actively try to have at least one
outbound connection to each network. This improves individual resistance to
eclipse attacks and network level resistance to partition attacks. Users no
longer need to perform active measures to ensure being connected to multiple
enabled networks. (#27213)
Pruning
-------
- When using assumeutxo with `-prune`, the prune budget may be exceeded if it is set
lower than 1100MB (i.e. `MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES * 2`). Prune budget is normally
split evenly across each chainstate, unless the resulting prune budget per chainstate
is beneath `MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES` in which case that value will be used. (#27596)
Updated RPCs
------------
- Setting `-rpcserialversion=0` is deprecated and will be removed in
a future release. It can currently still be used by also adding
the `-deprecatedrpc=serialversion` option. (#28448)
- The `hash_serialized_2` value has been removed from `gettxoutsetinfo` since the value it
calculated contained a bug and did not take all data into account. It is superseded by
`hash_serialized_3` which provides the same functionality but serves the correctly calculated hash. (#28685)
- New fields `transport_protocol_type` and `session_id` were added to the `getpeerinfo` RPC to indicate
whether the v2 transport protocol is in use, and if so, what the session id is.
- A new argument `v2transport` was added to the `addnode` RPC to indicate whether a v2 transaction connection
is to be attempted with the peer.
- [Miniscript](https://bitcoin.sipa.be/miniscript/) expressions can now be used in Taproot descriptors for all RPCs working with descriptors. (#27255)
- `finalizepsbt` is now able to finalize a PSBT with inputs spending [Miniscript](https://bitcoin.sipa.be/miniscript/)-compatible Taproot leaves. (#27255)
Changes to wallet related RPCs can be found in the Wallet section below.
New RPCs
--------
- `loadtxoutset` has been added, which allows loading a UTXO snapshot of the format
generated by `dumptxoutset`. Once this snapshot is loaded, its contents will be
deserialized into a second chainstate data structure, which is then used to sync to
the network's tip.
Meanwhile, the original chainstate will complete the initial block download process in
the background, eventually validating up to the block that the snapshot is based upon.
The result is a usable bitcoind instance that is current with the network tip in a
matter of minutes rather than hours. UTXO snapshot are typically obtained via
third-party sources (HTTP, torrent, etc.) which is reasonable since their contents
are always checked by hash.
You can find more information on this process in the `assumeutxo` design
document (<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/design/assumeutxo.md>).
`getchainstates` has been added to aid in monitoring the assumeutxo sync process.
- A new `getprioritisedtransactions` RPC has been added. It returns a map of all fee deltas created by the
user with prioritisetransaction, indexed by txid. The map also indicates whether each transaction is
present in the mempool. (#27501)
- A new RPC, `submitpackage`, has been added. It can be used to submit a list of raw hex
transactions to the mempool to be evaluated as a package using consensus and mempool policy rules.
These policies include package CPFP, allowing a child with high fees to bump a parent below the
mempool minimum feerate (but not minimum relay feerate). (#27609)
- Warning: successful submission does not mean the transactions will propagate throughout the
network, as package relay is not supported.
- Not all features are available. The package is limited to a child with all of its
unconfirmed parents, and no parent may spend the output of another parent. Also, package
RBF is not supported. Refer to doc/policy/packages.md for more details on package policies
and limitations.
- This RPC is experimental. Its interface may change.
- A new RPC `getaddrmaninfo` has been added to view the distribution of addresses in the new and tried table of the
node's address manager across different networks(ipv4, ipv6, onion, i2p, cjdns). The RPC returns count of addresses
in new and tried table as well as their sum for all networks. (#27511)
- A new `importmempool` RPC has been added. It loads a valid `mempool.dat` file and attempts to
add its contents to the mempool. This can be useful to import mempool data from another node
without having to modify the datadir contents and without having to restart the node. (#27460)
- Warning: Importing untrusted files is dangerous, especially if metadata from the file is taken over.
- If you want to apply fee deltas, it is recommended to use the `getprioritisedtransactions` and
`prioritisetransaction` RPCs instead of the `apply_fee_delta_priority` option to avoid
double-prioritising any already-prioritised transactions in the mempool.
Updated settings
----------------
- `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt` will now raise an error on startup
if a datadir that is being used contains a bitcoin.conf file that
will be ignored, which can happen when a datadir= line is used in
a bitcoin.conf file. The error message is just a diagnostic intended
to prevent accidental misconfiguration, and it can be disabled to
restore the previous behavior of using the datadir while ignoring
the bitcoin.conf contained in it. (#27302)
- Passing an invalid `-debug`, `-debugexclude`, or `-loglevel` logging configuration
option now raises an error, rather than logging an easily missed warning. (#27632)
Changes to GUI or wallet related settings can be found in the GUI or Wallet section below.
New settings
------------
Tools and Utilities
-------------------
- A new `bitcoinconsensus_verify_script_with_spent_outputs` function is available in libconsensus which optionally accepts the spent outputs of the transaction being verified.
- A new `bitcoinconsensus_SCRIPT_FLAGS_VERIFY_TAPROOT` flag is available in libconsensus that will verify scripts with the Taproot spending rules.
Wallet
------
- Wallet loading has changed in this release. Wallets with some corrupted records that could be
previously loaded (with warnings) may no longer load. For example, wallets with corrupted
address book entries may no longer load. If this happens, it is recommended
load the wallet in a previous version of Bitcoin Core and import the data into a new wallet.
Please also report an issue to help improve the software and make wallet loading more robust
in these cases. (#24914)
- The `createwallet` RPC will no longer create legacy (BDB) wallets when
setting `descriptors=false` without also providing the
`-deprecatedrpc=create_bdb` option. This is because the legacy wallet is
being deprecated in a future release. (#28597)
- The `gettransaction`, `listtransactions`, `listsinceblock` RPCs now return
the `abandoned` field for all transactions. Previously, the "abandoned" field
was only returned for sent transactions. (#25158)
- The `listdescriptors`, `decodepsbt` and similar RPC methods now show `h` rather than apostrophe (`'`) to indicate
hardened derivation. This does not apply when using the `private` parameter, which
matches the marker used when descriptor was generated or imported. Newly created
wallets use `h`. This change makes it easier to handle descriptor strings manually.
E.g. the `importdescriptors` RPC call is easiest to use `h` as the marker: `'["desc": ".../0h/..."]'`.
With this change `listdescriptors` will use `h`, so you can copy-paste the result,
without having to add escape characters or switch `'` to 'h' manually.
Note that this changes the descriptor checksum.
For legacy wallets the `hdkeypath` field in `getaddressinfo` is unchanged,
nor is the serialization format of wallet dumps. (#26076)
- The `getbalances` RPC now returns a `lastprocessedblock` JSON object which contains the wallet's last processed block
hash and height at the time the balances were calculated. This result shouldn't be cached because importing new keys could invalidate it. (#26094)
- The `gettransaction` RPC now returns a `lastprocessedblock` JSON object which contains the wallet's last processed block
hash and height at the time the transaction information was generated. (#26094)
- The `getwalletinfo` RPC now returns a `lastprocessedblock` JSON object which contains the wallet's last processed block
hash and height at the time the wallet information was generated. (#26094)
- Coin selection and transaction building now accounts for unconfirmed low-feerate ancestor transactions. When it is necessary to spend unconfirmed outputs, the wallet will add fees to ensure that the new transaction with its ancestors will achieve a mining score equal to the feerate requested by the user. (#26152)
- For RPC methods which accept `options` parameters ((`importmulti`, `listunspent`,
`fundrawtransaction`, `bumpfee`, `send`, `sendall`, `walletcreatefundedpsbt`,
`simulaterawtransaction`), it is now possible to pass the options as named
parameters without the need for a nested object. (#26485)
This means it is possible make calls like:
```sh
src/bitcoin-cli -named bumpfee txid fee_rate=100
```
instead of
```sh
src/bitcoin-cli -named bumpfee txid options='{"fee_rate": 100}'
```
- The `deprecatedrpc=walletwarningfield` configuration option has been removed.
The `createwallet`, `loadwallet`, `restorewallet` and `unloadwallet` RPCs no
longer return the "warning" string field. The same information is provided
through the "warnings" field added in v25.0, which returns a JSON array of
strings. The "warning" string field was deprecated also in v25.0. (#27757)
- The `signrawtransactionwithkey`, `signrawtransactionwithwallet`,
`walletprocesspsbt` and `descriptorprocesspsbt` calls now return the more
specific RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER error instead of RPC_MISC_ERROR if their
sighashtype argument is malformed. (#28113)
- RPC `walletprocesspsbt`, and `descriptorprocesspsbt` return
object now includes field `hex` (if the transaction
is complete) containing the serialized transaction
suitable for RPC `sendrawtransaction`. (#28414)
- It's now possible to use [Miniscript](https://bitcoin.sipa.be/miniscript/) inside Taproot leaves for descriptor wallets. (#27255)
Descriptors
-----------
- The usage of hybrid public keys in output descriptors has been removed. Hybrid
public keys are an exotic public key encoding not supported by output descriptors
(as specified in BIP380 and documented in doc/descriptors.md). Bitcoin Core would
previously incorrectly accept descriptors containing such hybrid keys. (#28587)
GUI changes
-----------
- The transaction list in the GUI no longer provides a special category for "payment to yourself". Now transactions that have both inputs and outputs that affect the wallet are displayed on separate lines for spending and receiving. (gui#119)
- A new menu option allows migrating a legacy wallet based on keys and implied output script types stored in BerkeleyDB (BDB) to a modern wallet that uses descriptors stored in SQLite. (gui#738)
- The PSBT operations dialog marks outputs paying your own wallet with "own address". (gui#740)
- The ability to create legacy wallets is being removed. (gui#764)
Contrib
-------
- Bash completion files have been renamed from `bitcoin*.bash-completion` to
`bitcoin*.bash`. This means completions can be automatically loaded on demand
based on invoked commands' names when they are put into the completion
directory (found with `pkg-config --variable=completionsdir
bash-completion`) without requiring renaming. (#28507)
Low-level changes
=================
Tests
-----
- Non-standard transactions are now disabled by default on testnet
for relay and mempool acceptance. The previous behaviour can be
re-enabled by setting `-acceptnonstdtxn=1`. (#28354)

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.9.2.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.9.2 is now available from:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2/
This is a new minor version release, bringing mostly bug fixes and some minor
improvements. OpenSSL has been updated because of a security issue (CVE-2014-0224).
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).
If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run
0.9.2 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from
30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
Downgrading warnings
--------------------
The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous
releases, so if you run 0.9.x and then decide to switch back to a
0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the
old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of
unspent transaction outputs).
Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate
data structures and correct the problem.
Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan
the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens
of minutes on a typical machine).
Important changes
==================
Gitian OSX build
-----------------
The deterministic build system that was already used for Windows and Linux
builds is now used for OSX as well. Although the resulting executables have
been tested quite a bit, there could be possible regressions. Be sure to report
these on the Github bug tracker mentioned above.
Compatibility of Linux build
-----------------------------
For Linux we now build against Qt 4.6, and filter the symbols for libstdc++ and glibc.
This brings back compatibility with
- Debian 6+ / Tails
- Ubuntu 10.04
- CentOS 6.5

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).
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database will be converted to a
new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour,
depending on the speed of your machine.
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0 or higher. Upgrading
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without re-downloading the blockchain is not supported.
However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
Downgrading warning
-------------------
Wallets created in 0.16 and later are not compatible with versions prior to 0.16
and will not work if you try to use newly created wallets in older versions. Existing
wallets that were created with older versions are not affected by this.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
frequently tested on them.

===============================
Bitcoin Core version 0.19.1 is now available from:
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.19.1/>
This minor release includes various bug fixes and performance
improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
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).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the datadir needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not recommended
to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
as frequently tested on them.
From Bitcoin Core 0.17.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.10 are no
longer supported, as Bitcoin Core is now built using Qt 5.9.x which requires
macOS 10.10+. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance when
macOS "dark mode" is activated.
In addition to previously supported CPU platforms, this release's pre-compiled
distribution provides binaries for the RISC-V platform.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.3.21.md | Binaries for Bitcoin version 0.3.21 are available at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.21/
Changes and new features from the 0.3.20 release include:
* Universal Plug and Play support. Enable automatic opening of a port for incoming connections by running bitcoin or bitcoind with the - -upnp=1 command line switch or using the Options dialog box.
* Support for full-precision bitcoin amounts. You can now send, and bitcoin will display, bitcoin amounts smaller than 0.01. However, sending fewer than 0.01 bitcoins still requires a 0.01 bitcoin fee (so you can send 1.0001 bitcoins without a fee, but you will be asked to pay a fee if you try to send 0.0001).
* A new method of finding bitcoin nodes to connect with, via DNS A records. Use the -dnsseed option to enable.
For developers, changes to bitcoin's remote-procedure-call API:
* New rpc command "sendmany" to send bitcoins to more than one address in a single transaction.
* Several bug fixes, including a serious intermittent bug that would sometimes cause bitcoind to stop accepting rpc requests.
* -logtimestamps option, to add a timestamp to each line in debug.log.
* Immature blocks (newly generated, under 120 confirmations) are now shown in listtransactions.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.7.0.md | Bitcoin version 0.7.0 is now available for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.0/
We recommend that everybody running prior versions of bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt
upgrade to this release, except for users running Mac OSX 10.5.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
Project source code is hosted at github; you can get
source-only tarballs/zipballs directly from there:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tarball/v0.7.0 # .tar.gz
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/zipball/v0.7.0 # .zip
Ubuntu Linux users can use the "Personal Package Archive" (PPA)
maintained by Matt Corallo to automatically keep
bitcoin up-to-date. Just type
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package:
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
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
Code:
/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt
(on Mac) or
Code:
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt
(on Linux).
If you were running on Linux with a version that might have been compiled
with a different version of Berkeley DB (for example, if you were using the
PPA and are switching to the binary release), then run the old version again
with the -detachdb argument and shut it down; if you do not, then the new
version will not be able to read the database files and will exit with an error.

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).
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database
will be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few
minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and
there is no automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version
0.15.0 or later. Upgrading directly from 0.7.x and earlier without
redownloading the blockchain is not supported. However, as usual, old
wallet versions are still supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not
recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
as frequently tested on them.
From 0.17.0 onwards, macOS <10.10 is no longer supported. 0.17.0 is
built using Qt 5.9.x, which doesn't support versions of macOS older than
10.10. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance when
macOS "dark mode" is activated.
In addition to previously-supported CPU platforms, this release's
pre-compiled distribution also provides binaries for the RISC-V
platform.
If you are using the `systemd` unit configuration file located at
`contrib/init/bitcoind.service`, it has been changed to use
`/var/lib/bitcoind` as the data directory instead of
`~bitcoin/.bitcoin`. When switching over to the new configuration file,
please make sure that the filesystem on which `/var/lib/bitcoind` will
exist has enough space (check using `df -h /var/lib/bitcoind`), and
optionally copy over your existing data directory. See the [systemd init
file section](#systemd-init-file) for more details.
Known issues
============
Wallet GUI
----------
For advanced users who have both (1) enabled coin control features, and
(2) are using multiple wallets loaded at the same time: The coin control
input selection dialog can erroneously retain wrong-wallet state when
switching wallets using the dropdown menu. For now, it is recommended
not to use coin control features with multiple wallets loaded.
Notable changes
===============
Mining
------
- Calls to `getblocktemplate` will fail if the segwit rule is not
specified. Calling `getblocktemplate` without segwit specified is
almost certainly a misconfiguration since doing so results in lower
rewards for the miner. Failed calls will produce an error message
describing how to enable the segwit rule.
Configuration option changes
----------------------------
- A warning is printed if an unrecognized section name is used in the
configuration file. Recognized sections are `[test]`, `[main]`, and
`[regtest]`.
- Four new options are available for configuring the maximum number of
messages that ZMQ will queue in memory (the "high water mark") before
dropping additional messages. The default value is 1,000, the same as
was used for previous releases. See the [ZMQ
documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/zmq.md#usage)
for details.
- The `rpcallowip` option can no longer be used to automatically listen
on all network interfaces. Instead, the `rpcbind` parameter must be
used to specify the IP addresses to listen on. Listening for RPC
commands over a public network connection is insecure and should be
disabled, so a warning is now printed if a user selects such a
configuration. If you need to expose RPC in order to use a tool like
Docker, ensure you only bind RPC to your localhost, e.g. `docker run
[...] -p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332` (this is an extra `:8332` over the
normal Docker port specification).
- The `rpcpassword` option now causes a startup error if the password
set in the configuration file contains a hash character (#), as it's
ambiguous whether the hash character is meant for the password or as a
comment.
- The `whitelistforcerelay` option is used to relay transactions from
whitelisted peers even when not accepted to the mempool. This option
now defaults to being off, so that changes in policy and
disconnect/ban behavior will not cause a node that is whitelisting
another to be dropped by peers. Users can still explicitly enable
this behavior with the command line option (and may want to consider
[contacting](https://bitcoincore.org/en/contact/) the Bitcoin Core
project to let us know about their use-case, as this feature could be
deprecated in the future).
systemd init file
-----------------
The systemd init file (`contrib/init/bitcoind.service`) has been changed
to use `/var/lib/bitcoind` as the data directory instead of
`~bitcoin/.bitcoin`. This change makes Bitcoin Core more consistent with
other services, and makes the systemd init config more consistent with
existing Upstart and OpenRC configs.
The configuration, PID, and data directories are now completely managed
by systemd, which will take care of their creation, permissions, etc.
See [`systemd.exec(5)`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#RuntimeDirectory=)
for more details.
When using the provided init files under `contrib/init`, overriding the
`datadir` option in `/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf` will have no effect.
This is because the command line arguments specified in the init files
take precedence over the options specified in
`/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`.
Documentation
-------------
- A new short [document](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md)
about the JSON-RPC interface describes cases where the results of an
RPC might contain inconsistencies between data sourced from different
subsystems, such as wallet state and mempool state. A note is added
to the [REST interface documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/REST-interface.md)
indicating that the same rules apply.
- Further information is added to the [JSON-RPC
documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md)
about how to secure this interface.
- A new [document](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/bitcoin-conf.md)
about the `bitcoin.conf` file describes how to use it to configure
Bitcoin Core.
- A new document introduces Bitcoin Core's BIP174 [Partially-Signed
Bitcoin Transactions
(PSBT)](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/psbt.md)
interface, which is used to allow multiple programs to collaboratively
work to create, sign, and broadcast new transactions. This is useful
for offline (cold storage) wallets, multisig wallets, coinjoin
implementations, and many other cases where two or more programs need
to interact to generate a complete transaction.
- The [output script
descriptor](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md)
documentation has been updated with information about new features in
this still-developing language for describing the output scripts that
a wallet or other program wants to receive notifications for, such as
which addresses it wants to know received payments. The language is
currently used in multiple new and updated RPCs described in these
release notes and is expected to be adapted to other RPCs and to the
underlying wallet structure.
Build system changes
--------------------
- A new `--disable-bip70` option may be passed to `./configure` to
prevent Bitcoin-Qt from being built with support for the BIP70 payment
protocol or from linking libssl. As the payment protocol has exposed
Bitcoin Core to libssl vulnerabilities in the past, builders who don't
need BIP70 support are encouraged to use this option to reduce their
exposure to future vulnerabilities.
- The minimum required version of Qt (when building the GUI) has been
increased from 5.2 to 5.5.1 (the [depends
system](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/depends/README.md)
provides 5.9.7)
New RPCs
--------
- `getnodeaddresses` returns peer addresses known to this node. It may
be used to find nodes to connect to without using a DNS seeder.
- `listwalletdir` returns a list of wallets in the wallet directory
(either the default wallet directory or the directory configured by
the `-walletdir` parameter).
- `getrpcinfo` returns runtime details of the RPC server. At the moment,
it returns an array of the currently active commands and how long
they've been running.
- `deriveaddresses` returns one or more addresses corresponding to an
[output descriptor](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md).
- `getdescriptorinfo` accepts a descriptor and returns information about
it, including its computed checksum.
- `joinpsbts` merges multiple distinct PSBTs into a single PSBT. The
multiple PSBTs must have different inputs. The resulting PSBT will
contain every input and output from all of the PSBTs. Any signatures
provided in any of the PSBTs will be dropped.
- `analyzepsbt` examines a PSBT and provides information about what
the PSBT contains and the next steps that need to be taken in order
to complete the transaction. For each input of a PSBT, `analyzepsbt`
provides information about what information is missing for that
input, including whether a UTXO needs to be provided, what pubkeys
still need to be provided, which scripts need to be provided, and
what signatures are still needed. Every input will also list which
role is needed to complete that input, and `analyzepsbt` will also
list the next role in general needed to complete the PSBT.
`analyzepsbt` will also provide the estimated fee rate and estimated
virtual size of the completed transaction if it has enough
information to do so.
- `utxoupdatepsbt` searches the set of Unspent Transaction Outputs
(UTXOs) to find the outputs being spent by the partial transaction.
PSBTs need to have the UTXOs being spent to be provided because
the signing algorithm requires information from the UTXO being spent.
For segwit inputs, only the UTXO itself is necessary. For
non-segwit outputs, the entire previous transaction is needed so
that signers can be sure that they are signing the correct thing.
Unfortunately, because the UTXO set only contains UTXOs and not full
transactions, `utxoupdatepsbt` will only add the UTXO for segwit
inputs.
Updated RPCs
------------
Note: some low-level RPC changes mainly useful for testing are described
in the Low-level Changes section below.
- `getpeerinfo` now returns an additional `minfeefilter` field set to
the peer's BIP133 fee filter. You can use this to detect that you
have peers that are willing to accept transactions below the default
minimum relay fee.
- The mempool RPCs, such as `getrawmempool` with `verbose=true`, now
return an additional "bip125-replaceable" value indicating whether the
transaction (or its unconfirmed ancestors) opts-in to asking nodes and
miners to replace it with a higher-feerate transaction spending any of
the same inputs.
- `settxfee` previously silently ignored attempts to set the fee below
the allowed minimums. It now prints a warning. The special value of
"0" may still be used to request the minimum value.
- `getaddressinfo` now provides an `ischange` field indicating whether
the wallet used the address in a change output.
- `importmulti` has been updated to support P2WSH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH,
and P2SH-P2WSH. Requests for P2WSH and P2SH-P2WSH accept an additional
`witnessscript` parameter.
- `importmulti` now returns an additional `warnings` field for each
request with an array of strings explaining when fields are being
ignored or are inconsistent, if there are any.
- `getaddressinfo` now returns an additional `solvable` boolean field
when Bitcoin Core knows enough about the address's scriptPubKey,
optional redeemScript, and optional witnessScript in order for the
wallet to be able to generate an unsigned input spending funds sent to
that address.
- The `getaddressinfo`, `listunspent`, and `scantxoutset` RPCs now
return an additional `desc` field that contains an output descriptor
containing all key paths and signing information for the address
(except for the private key). The `desc` field is only returned for
`getaddressinfo` and `listunspent` when the address is solvable.
- `importprivkey` will preserve previously-set labels for addresses or
public keys corresponding to the private key being imported. For
example, if you imported a watch-only address with the label "cold
wallet" in earlier releases of Bitcoin Core, subsequently importing
the private key would default to resetting the address's label to the
default empty-string label (""). In this release, the previous label
of "cold wallet" will be retained. If you optionally specify any
label besides the default when calling `importprivkey`, the new label
will be applied to the address.
- See the [Mining](#mining) section for changes to `getblocktemplate`.
- `getmininginfo` now omits `currentblockweight` and `currentblocktx`
when a block was never assembled via RPC on this node.
- The `getrawtransaction` RPC & REST endpoints no longer check the
unspent UTXO set for a transaction. The remaining behaviors are as
follows: 1. If a blockhash is provided, check the corresponding block.
2. If no blockhash is provided, check the mempool. 3. If no blockhash
is provided but txindex is enabled, also check txindex.
- `unloadwallet` is now synchronous, meaning it will not return until
the wallet is fully unloaded.
- `importmulti` now supports importing of addresses from descriptors. A
"desc" parameter can be provided instead of the "scriptPubKey" in a
request, as well as an optional range for ranged descriptors to
specify the start and end of the range to import. Descriptors with key
origin information imported through `importmulti` will have their key
origin information stored in the wallet for use with creating PSBTs.
More information about descriptors can be found
[here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md).
- `listunspent` has been modified so that it also returns
`witnessScript`, the witness script in the case of a P2WSH or
P2SH-P2WSH output.
- `createwallet` now has an optional `blank` argument that can be used
to create a blank wallet. Blank wallets do not have any keys or HD
seed. They cannot be opened in software older than 0.18. Once a blank
wallet has a HD seed set (by using `sethdseed`) or private keys,
scripts, addresses, and other watch only things have been imported,
the wallet is no longer blank and can be opened in 0.17.x. Encrypting
a blank wallet will also set a HD seed for it.
Deprecated or removed RPCs
--------------------------
- `signrawtransaction` is removed after being deprecated and hidden
behind a special configuration option in version 0.17.0.
- The 'account' API is removed after being deprecated in v0.17. The
'label' API was introduced in v0.17 as a replacement for accounts.
See the [release notes from
v0.17](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.17.0.md#label-and-account-apis-for-wallet)
for a full description of the changes from the 'account' API to the
'label' API.
- `addwitnessaddress` is removed after being deprecated in version
0.16.0.
- `generate` is deprecated and will be fully removed in a subsequent
major version. This RPC is only used for testing, but its
implementation reached across multiple subsystems (wallet and mining),
so it is being deprecated to simplify the wallet-node interface.
Projects that are using `generate` for testing purposes should
transition to using the `generatetoaddress` RPC, which does not
require or use the wallet component. Calling `generatetoaddress` with
an address returned by the `getnewaddress` RPC gives the same
functionality as the old `generate` RPC. To continue using `generate`
in this version, restart bitcoind with the `-deprecatedrpc=generate`
configuration option.
- Be reminded that parts of the `validateaddress` command have been
deprecated and moved to `getaddressinfo`. The following deprecated
fields have moved to `getaddressinfo`: `ismine`, `iswatchonly`,
`script`, `hex`, `pubkeys`, `sigsrequired`, `pubkey`, `embedded`,
`iscompressed`, `label`, `timestamp`, `hdkeypath`, `hdmasterkeyid`.
- The `addresses` field has been removed from the `validateaddress`
and `getaddressinfo` RPC methods. This field was confusing since
it referred to public keys using their P2PKH address. Clients
should use the `embedded.address` field for P2SH or P2WSH wrapped
addresses, and `pubkeys` for inspecting multisig participants.
REST changes
------------
- A new `/rest/blockhashbyheight/` endpoint is added for fetching the
hash of the block in the current best blockchain based on its height
(how many blocks it is after the Genesis Block).
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
------------------------------
- A new Window menu is added alongside the existing File, Settings, and
Help menus. Several items from the other menus that opened new
windows have been moved to this new Window menu.
- In the Send tab, the checkbox for "pay only the required fee" has been
removed. Instead, the user can simply decrease the value in the
Custom Feerate field all the way down to the node's configured minimum
relay fee.
- In the Overview tab, the watch-only balance will be the only balance
shown if the wallet was created using the `createwallet` RPC and the
`disable_private_keys` parameter was set to true.
- The launch-on-startup option is no longer available on macOS if
compiled with macosx min version greater than 10.11 (use
CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11"
CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" for setting the deployment sdk
version)
Tools
-----
- A new `bitcoin-wallet` tool is now distributed alongside Bitcoin
Core's other executables. Without needing to use any RPCs, this tool
can currently create a new wallet file or display some basic
information about an existing wallet, such as whether the wallet is
encrypted, whether it uses an HD seed, how many transactions it
contains, and how many address book entries it has.
Planned changes
===============
This section describes planned changes to Bitcoin Core that may affect
other Bitcoin software and services.
- Since version 0.16.0, Bitcoin Core’s built-in wallet has defaulted to
generating P2SH-wrapped segwit addresses when users want to receive
payments. These addresses are backwards compatible with all
widely-used software. Starting with Bitcoin Core 0.20 (expected about
a year after 0.18), Bitcoin Core will default to native segwit
addresses (bech32) that provide additional fee savings and other
benefits. Currently, many wallets and services already support sending
to bech32 addresses, and if the Bitcoin Core project sees enough
additional adoption, it will instead default to bech32 receiving
addresses in Bitcoin Core 0.19 (approximately November 2019).
P2SH-wrapped segwit addresses will continue to be provided if the user
requests them in the GUI or by RPC, and anyone who doesn’t want the
update will be able to configure their default address type.
(Similarly, pioneering users who want to change their default now may
set the `addresstype=bech32` configuration option in any Bitcoin Core
release from 0.16.0 up.)
Deprecated P2P messages
-----------------------
- BIP 61 reject messages are now deprecated. Reject messages have no use
case on the P2P network and are only logged for debugging by most
network nodes. Furthermore, they increase bandwidth and can be harmful
for privacy and security. It has been possible to disable BIP 61
messages since v0.17 with the `-enablebip61=0` option. BIP 61 messages
will be disabled by default in a future version, before being removed
entirely.
Low-level changes
=================
This section describes RPC changes mainly useful for testing, mostly not
relevant in production. The changes are mentioned for completeness.

- The `submitblock` RPC previously returned the reason a rejected block
was invalid the first time it processed that block, but returned a
generic "duplicate" rejection message on subsequent occasions it
processed the same block. It now always returns the fundamental
reason for rejecting an invalid block and only returns "duplicate" for
valid blocks it has already accepted.
- A new `submitheader` RPC allows submitting block headers independently
from their block. This is likely only useful for testing.
- The `signrawtransactionwithkey` and `signrawtransactionwithwallet`
RPCs have been modified so that they also optionally accept a
`witnessScript`, the witness script in the case of a P2WSH or
P2SH-P2WSH output. This is compatible with the change to
`listunspent`.
- For the `walletprocesspsbt` and `walletcreatefundedpsbt` RPCs, if the
`bip32derivs` parameter is set to true but the key metadata for a
public key has not been updated yet, then that key will have a
derivation path as if it were just an independent key (i.e. no
derivation path and its master fingerprint is itself).
Configuration
-------------
- The `-usehd` configuration option was removed in version 0.16. From
that version onwards, all new wallets created are hierarchical
deterministic wallets. This release makes specifying `-usehd` an
invalid configuration option.
Network
-------
- This release allows peers that your node automatically disconnected
for misbehavior (e.g. sending invalid data) to reconnect to your node
if you have unused incoming connection slots. If your slots fill up,
a misbehaving node will be disconnected to make room for nodes without
a history of problems (unless the misbehaving node helps your node in
some other way, such as by connecting to a part of the Internet from
which you don't have many other peers). Previously, Bitcoin Core
banned the IP addresses of misbehaving peers for a period of time
(default of 1 day); this was easily circumvented by attackers with
multiple IP addresses. If you manually ban a peer, such as by using
the `setban` RPC, all connections from that peer will still be
rejected.
Wallet
-------
- The key metadata will need to be upgraded the first time that the HD
seed is available. For unencrypted wallets this will occur on wallet
loading. For encrypted wallets this will occur the first time the
wallet is unlocked.
- Newly encrypted wallets will no longer require restarting the
software. Instead such wallets will be completely unloaded and
reloaded to achieve the same effect.
- A sub-project of Bitcoin Core now provides Hardware Wallet Interaction
(HWI) scripts that allow command-line users to use several popular
hardware key management devices with Bitcoin Core. See their [project
page](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI#readme) for details.
Security
--------
- This release changes the Random Number Generator (RNG) used from
OpenSSL to Bitcoin Core's own implementation, although entropy
gathered by Bitcoin Core is fed out to OpenSSL and then read back in
when the program needs strong randomness. This moves Bitcoin Core a
little closer to no longer needing to depend on OpenSSL, a dependency
that has caused security issues in the past. The new implementation
gathers entropy from multiple sources, including from hardware
supporting the rdseed CPU instruction.
Changes for particular platforms
--------------------------------
- On macOS, Bitcoin Core now opts out of application CPU throttling
("app nap") during initial blockchain download, when catching up from
over 100 blocks behind the current chain tip, or when reindexing chain
data. This helps prevent these operations from taking an excessively
long time because the operating system is attempting to conserve
power.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.5.2.md | Bitcoin version 0.5.2 is now available for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.2/
This is a bugfix-only release based on 0.5.1.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
Stable source code is hosted at Gitorious:
http://gitorious.org/bitcoin/bitcoind-stable/archive-tarball/v0.5.2#.tar.gz
BUG FIXES
Check all transactions in blocks after the last checkpoint (0.5.0 and 0.5.1 skipped checking ECDSA signatures during initial blockchain download).
Cease locking memory used by non-sensitive information (this caused a huge performance hit on some platforms, especially noticable during initial blockchain download; this was
not a security vulnerability).
Fixed some address-handling deadlocks (client freezes).
No longer accept inbound connections over the internet when Bitcoin is being used with Tor (identity leak).
Re-enable SSL support for the JSON-RPC interface (it was unintentionally disabled for the 0.5.0 and 0.5.1 release Linux binaries).
Use the correct base transaction fee of 0.0005 BTC for accepting transactions into mined blocks (since 0.4.0, it was incorrectly accepting 0.0001 BTC which was only meant to be relayed).
Don't show "IP" for transactions which are not necessarily IP transactions.
Add new DNS seeds (maintained by Pieter Wuille and Luke Dashjr).

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).
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or higher, your chainstate database will
be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to
half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.
The file format of `fee_estimates.dat` changed in version 0.15.0. Hence, a
downgrade from version 0.15 or upgrade to version 0.15 will cause all fee
estimates to be discarded.
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported.
However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
Downgrading warning
-------------------
The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous
releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any
older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate`
option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format.
If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and
processing the entire blockchain.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
frequently tested on them.
Notable changes
===============
Network fork safety enhancements
--------------------------------
A number of changes to the way Bitcoin Core deals with peer connections and invalid blocks
have been made, as a safety precaution against blockchain forks and misbehaving peers.
- Unrequested blocks with less work than the minimum-chain-work are now no longer processed even
if they have more work than the tip (a potential issue during IBD where the tip may have low-work).
This prevents peers wasting the resources of a node.
- Peers which provide a chain with less work than the minimum-chain-work during IBD will now be disconnected.
- For a given outbound peer, we now check whether their best known block has at least as much work as our tip. If it
doesn't, and if we still haven't heard about a block with sufficient work after a 20 minute timeout, then we send
a single getheaders message, and wait 2 more minutes. If after two minutes their best known block has insufficient
work, we disconnect that peer. We protect 4 of our outbound peers from being disconnected by this logic to prevent
excessive network topology changes as a result of this algorithm, while still ensuring that we have a reasonable
number of nodes not known to be on bogus chains.
- Outbound (non-manual) peers that serve us block headers that are already known to be invalid (other than compact
block announcements, because BIP 152 explicitly permits nodes to relay compact blocks before fully validating them)
will now be disconnected.
- If the chain tip has not been advanced for over 30 minutes, we now assume the tip may be stale and will try to connect
to an additional outbound peer. A periodic check ensures that if this extra peer connection is in use, we will disconnect
the peer that least recently announced a new block.
- The set of all known invalid-themselves blocks (i.e. blocks which we attempted to connect but which were found to be
invalid) are now tracked and used to check if new headers build on an invalid chain. This ensures that everything that
descends from an invalid block is marked as such.
Miner block size limiting deprecated
------------------------------------
Though blockmaxweight has been preferred for limiting the size of blocks returned by
getblocktemplate since 0.13.0, blockmaxsize remained as an option for those who wished
to limit their block size directly. Using this option resulted in a few UI issues as
well as non-optimal fee selection and ever-so-slightly worse performance, and has thus
now been deprecated. Further, the blockmaxsize option is now used only to calculate an
implied blockmaxweight, instead of limiting block size directly. Any miners who wish
to limit their blocks by size, instead of by weight, will have to do so manually by
removing transactions from their block template directly.
GUI settings backed up on reset
-------------------------------
The GUI settings will now be written to `guisettings.ini.bak` in the data directory before wiping them when
the `-resetguisettings` argument is used. This can be used to retroactively troubleshoot issues due to the
GUI settings.
Duplicate wallets disallowed
----------------------------
Previously, it was possible to open the same wallet twice by manually copying the wallet file, causing
issues when both were opened simultaneously. It is no longer possible to open copies of the same wallet.
Debug `-minimumchainwork` argument added
----------------------------------------
A hidden debug argument `-minimumchainwork` has been added to allow a custom minimum work value to be used
when validating a chain.
Low-level RPC changes
----------------------
- The "currentblocksize" value in getmininginfo has been removed.
- `dumpwallet` no longer allows overwriting files. This is a security measure
as well as prevents dangerous user mistakes.
- `backupwallet` will now fail when attempting to backup to source file, rather than
destroying the wallet.
- `listsinceblock` will now throw an error if an unknown `blockhash` argument
value is passed, instead of returning a list of all wallet transactions since
the genesis block. The behaviour is unchanged when an empty string is provided.

Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later.
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you
can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues.
Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
frequently tested on them.
Notable changes
===============
Performance Improvements
--------------
Validation speed and network propagation performance have been greatly
improved, leading to much shorter sync and initial block download times.
- The script signature cache has been reimplemented as a "cuckoo cache",
allowing for more signatures to be cached and faster lookups.
- Assumed-valid blocks have been introduced which allows script validation to
be skipped for ancestors of known-good blocks, without changing the security
model. See below for more details.
- In some cases, compact blocks are now relayed before being fully validated as
per BIP152.
- P2P networking has been refactored with a focus on concurrency and
throughput. Network operations are no longer bottlenecked by validation. As a
result, block fetching is several times faster than previous releases in many
cases.
- The UTXO cache now claims unused mempool memory. This speeds up initial block
download as UTXO lookups are a major bottleneck there, and there is no use for
the mempool at that stage.
Manual Pruning
--------------
Bitcoin Core has supported automatically pruning the blockchain since 0.11. Pruning
the blockchain allows for significant storage space savings as the vast majority of
the downloaded data can be discarded after processing so very little of it remains
on the disk.
Manual block pruning can now be enabled by setting `-prune=1`. Once that is set,
the RPC command `pruneblockchain` can be used to prune the blockchain up to the
specified height or timestamp.
`getinfo` Deprecated
--------------------
The `getinfo` RPC command has been deprecated. Each field in the RPC call
has been moved to another command's output with that command also giving
additional information that `getinfo` did not provide. The following table
shows where each field has been moved to:
|`getinfo` field | Moved to |
|------------------|-------------------------------------------|
`"version"` | `getnetworkinfo()["version"]`
`"protocolversion"`| `getnetworkinfo()["protocolversion"]`
`"walletversion"` | `getwalletinfo()["walletversion"]`
`"balance"` | `getwalletinfo()["balance"]`
`"blocks"` | `getblockchaininfo()["blocks"]`
`"timeoffset"` | `getnetworkinfo()["timeoffset"]`
`"connections"` | `getnetworkinfo()["connections"]`
`"proxy"` | `getnetworkinfo()["networks"][0]["proxy"]`
`"difficulty"` | `getblockchaininfo()["difficulty"]`
`"testnet"` | `getblockchaininfo()["chain"] == "test"`
`"keypoololdest"` | `getwalletinfo()["keypoololdest"]`
`"keypoolsize"` | `getwalletinfo()["keypoolsize"]`
`"unlocked_until"` | `getwalletinfo()["unlocked_until"]`
`"paytxfee"` | `getwalletinfo()["paytxfee"]`
`"relayfee"` | `getnetworkinfo()["relayfee"]`
`"errors"` | `getnetworkinfo()["warnings"]`
ZMQ On Windows
--------------
Previously the ZeroMQ notification system was unavailable on Windows
due to various issues with ZMQ. These have been fixed upstream and
now ZMQ can be used on Windows. Please see [this document](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/zmq.md) for
help with using ZMQ in general.
Nested RPC Commands in Debug Console
------------------------------------
The ability to nest RPC commands has been added to the debug console. This
allows users to have the output of a command become the input to another
command without running the commands separately.
The nested RPC commands use bracket syntax (i.e. `getwalletinfo()`) and can
be nested (i.e. `getblock(getblockhash(1))`). Simple queries can be
done with square brackets where object values are accessed with either an
array index or a non-quoted string (i.e. `listunspent()[0][txid]`). Both
commas and spaces can be used to separate parameters in both the bracket syntax
and normal RPC command syntax.
Network Activity Toggle
-----------------------
A RPC command and GUI toggle have been added to enable or disable all p2p
network activity. The network status icon in the bottom right hand corner
is now the GUI toggle. Clicking the icon will either enable or disable all
p2p network activity. If network activity is disabled, the icon will
be grayed out with an X on top of it.
Additionally the `setnetworkactive` RPC command has been added which does
the same thing as the GUI icon. The command takes one boolean parameter,
`true` enables networking and `false` disables it.
Out-of-sync Modal Info Layer
----------------------------
When Bitcoin Core is out-of-sync on startup, a semi-transparent information
layer will be shown over top of the normal display. This layer contains
details about the current sync progress and estimates the amount of time
remaining to finish syncing. This layer can also be hidden and subsequently
unhidden by clicking on the progress bar at the bottom of the window.
Support for JSON-RPC Named Arguments
------------------------------------
Commands sent over the JSON-RPC interface and through the `bitcoin-cli` binary
can now use named arguments. This follows the [JSON-RPC specification](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification)
for passing parameters by-name with an object.
`bitcoin-cli` has been updated to support this by parsing `name=value` arguments
when the `-named` option is given.
Some examples:
src/bitcoin-cli -named help command="help"
src/bitcoin-cli -named getblockhash height=0
src/bitcoin-cli -named getblock blockhash=000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f
src/bitcoin-cli -named sendtoaddress address="(snip)" amount="1.0" subtractfeefromamount=true
The order of arguments doesn't matter in this case. Named arguments are also
useful to leave out arguments that should stay at their default value. The
rarely-used arguments `comment` and `comment_to` to `sendtoaddress`, for example, can
be left out. However, this is not yet implemented for many RPC calls, this is
expected to land in a later release.
The RPC server remains fully backwards compatible with positional arguments.
Opt into RBF When Sending
-------------------------
A new startup option, `-walletrbf`, has been added to allow users to have all
transactions sent opt into RBF support. The default value for this option is
currently `false`, so transactions will not opt into RBF by default. The new
`bumpfee` RPC can be used to replace transactions that opt into RBF.
Sensitive Data Is No Longer Stored In Debug Console History
-----------------------------------------------------------
The debug console maintains a history of previously entered commands that can be
accessed by pressing the Up-arrow key so that users can easily reuse previously
entered commands. Commands which have sensitive information such as passphrases and
private keys will now have a `(...)` in place of the parameters when accessed through
the history.
Retaining the Mempool Across Restarts
-------------------------------------
The mempool will be saved to the data directory prior to shutdown
to a `mempool.dat` file. This file preserves the mempool so that when the node
restarts the mempool can be filled with transactions without waiting for new transactions
to be created. This will also preserve any changes made to a transaction through
commands such as `prioritisetransaction` so that those changes will not be lost.
Final Alert
-----------
The Alert System was [disabled and deprecated](https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2016-11-01-alert-retirement) in Bitcoin Core 0.12.1 and removed in 0.13.0.
The Alert System was retired with a maximum sequence final alert which causes any nodes
supporting the Alert System to display a static hard-coded "Alert Key Compromised" message which also
prevents any other alerts from overriding it. This final alert is hard-coded into this release
so that all old nodes receive the final alert.
GUI Changes
-----------
- After resetting the options by clicking the `Reset Options` button
in the options dialog or with the `-resetguioptions` startup option,
the user will be prompted to choose the data directory again. This
is to ensure that custom data directories will be kept after the
option reset which clears the custom data directory set via the choose
datadir dialog.
- Multiple peers can now be selected in the list of peers in the debug
window. This allows for users to ban or disconnect multiple peers
simultaneously instead of banning them one at a time.
- An indicator has been added to the bottom right hand corner of the main
window to indicate whether the wallet being used is a HD wallet. This
icon will be grayed out with an X on top of it if the wallet is not a
HD wallet.
Low-level RPC changes
----------------------
- `importprunedfunds` only accepts two required arguments. Some versions accept
an optional third arg, which was always ignored. Make sure to never pass more
than two arguments.
- The first boolean argument to `getaddednodeinfo` has been removed. This is
an incompatible change.
- RPC command `getmininginfo` loses the "testnet" field in favor of the more
generic "chain" (which has been present for years).
- A new RPC command `preciousblock` has been added which marks a block as
precious. A precious block will be treated as if it were received earlier
than a competing block.
- A new RPC command `importmulti` has been added which receives an array of
JSON objects representing the intention of importing a public key, a
private key, an address and script/p2sh
- Use of `getrawtransaction` for retrieving confirmed transactions with unspent
outputs has been deprecated. For now this will still work, but in the future
it may change to only be able to retrieve information about transactions in
the mempool or if `txindex` is enabled.
- A new RPC command `getmemoryinfo` has been added which will return information
about the memory usage of Bitcoin Core. This was added in conjunction with
optimizations to memory management. See [Pull #8753](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8753)
for more information.
- A new RPC command `bumpfee` has been added which allows replacing an
unconfirmed wallet transaction that signaled RBF (see the `-walletrbf`
startup option above) with a new transaction that pays a higher fee, and
should be more likely to get confirmed quickly.
HTTP REST Changes
-----------------
- UTXO set query (`GET /rest/getutxos/<checkmempool>/<txid>-<n>/<txid>-<n>
/.../<txid>-<n>.<bin|hex|json>`) responses were changed to return status
code `HTTP_BAD_REQUEST` (400) instead of `HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR` (500)
when requests contain invalid parameters.
Minimum Fee Rate Policies
-------------------------
Since the changes in 0.12 to automatically limit the size of the mempool and improve the performance of block creation in mining code it has not been important for relay nodes or miners to set `-minrelaytxfee`. With this release the following concepts that were tied to this option have been separated out:
- incremental relay fee used for calculating BIP 125 replacement and mempool limiting. (1000 satoshis/kB)
- calculation of threshold for a dust output. (effectively 3 * 1000 satoshis/kB)
- minimum fee rate of a package of transactions to be included in a block created by the mining code. If miners wish to set this minimum they can use the new `-blockmintxfee` option. (defaults to 1000 satoshis/kB)
The `-minrelaytxfee` option continues to exist but is recommended to be left unset.
Fee Estimation Changes
----------------------
- Since 0.13.2 fee estimation for a confirmation target of 1 block has been
disabled. The fee slider will no longer be able to choose a target of 1 block.
This is only a minor behavior change as there was often insufficient
data for this target anyway. `estimatefee 1` will now always return -1 and
`estimatesmartfee 1` will start searching at a target of 2.
- The default target for fee estimation is changed to 6 blocks in both the GUI
(previously 25) and for RPC calls (previously 2).
Removal of Priority Estimation
------------------------------
- Estimation of "priority" needed for a transaction to be included within a target
number of blocks has been removed. The RPC calls are deprecated and will either
return -1 or 1e24 appropriately. The format for `fee_estimates.dat` has also
changed to no longer save these priority estimates. It will automatically be
converted to the new format which is not readable by prior versions of the
software.
- Support for "priority" (coin age) transaction sorting for mining is
considered deprecated in Core and will be removed in the next major version.
This is not to be confused with the `prioritisetransaction` RPC which will remain
supported by Core for adding fee deltas to transactions.
P2P connection management
--------------------------
- Peers manually added through the `-addnode` option or `addnode` RPC now have their own
limit of eight connections which does not compete with other inbound or outbound
connection usage and is not subject to the limitation imposed by the `-maxconnections`
option.
- New connections to manually added peers are performed more quickly.
Introduction of assumed-valid blocks
-------------------------------------
- A significant portion of the initial block download time is spent verifying
scripts/signatures. Although the verification must pass to ensure the security
of the system, no other result from this verification is needed: If the node
knew the history of a given block were valid it could skip checking scripts
for its ancestors.
- A new configuration option 'assumevalid' is provided to express this knowledge
to the software. Unlike the 'checkpoints' in the past this setting does not
force the use of a particular chain: chains that are consistent with it are
processed quicker, but other chains are still accepted if they'd otherwise
be chosen as best. Also unlike 'checkpoints' the user can configure which
block history is assumed true, this means that even outdated software can
sync more quickly if the setting is updated by the user.
- Because the validity of a chain history is a simple objective fact it is much
easier to review this setting. As a result the software ships with a default
value adjusted to match the current chain shortly before release. The use
of this default value can be disabled by setting -assumevalid=0
Fundrawtransaction change address reuse
----------------------------------------
- Before 0.14, `fundrawtransaction` was by default wallet stateless. In
almost all cases `fundrawtransaction` does add a change-output to the
outputs of the funded transaction. Before 0.14, the used keypool key was
never marked as change-address key and directly returned to the keypool
(leading to address reuse). Before 0.14, calling `getnewaddress`
directly after `fundrawtransaction` did generate the same address as
the change-output address.
- Since 0.14, fundrawtransaction does reserve the change-output-key from
the keypool by default (optional by setting `reserveChangeKey`, default =
`true`)
- Users should also consider using `getrawchangeaddress()` in conjunction
with `fundrawtransaction`'s `changeAddress` option.
Unused mempool memory used by coincache
----------------------------------------
- Before 0.14, memory reserved for mempool (using the `-maxmempool` option)
went unused during initial block download, or IBD. In 0.14, the UTXO DB cache
(controlled with the `-dbcache` option) borrows memory from the mempool
when there is extra memory available. This may result in an increase in
memory usage during IBD for those previously relying on only the `-dbcache`
option to limit memory during that time.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.20.2.md | 0.20.2 Release Notes
====================
Bitcoin Core version 0.20.2 is now available from:
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.20.2/>
This minor release includes various bug fixes and performance
improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
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 in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.12+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.
From Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.12 are no
longer supported. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance
when macOS "dark mode" is activated.
Known Bugs
==========
The process for generating the source code release ("tarball") has changed in an
effort to make it more complete, however, there are a few regressions in
this release:
- The generated `configure` script is currently missing, and you will need to
install autotools and run `./autogen.sh` before you can run
`./configure`. This is the same as when checking out from git.
- Instead of running `make` simply, you should instead run
`BITCOIN_GENBUILD_NO_GIT=1 make`.
Notable changes
===============
Changes regarding misbehaving peers
-----------------------------------
Peers that misbehave (e.g. send us invalid blocks) are now referred to as
discouraged nodes in log output, as they're not (and weren't) strictly banned:
incoming connections are still allowed from them, but they're preferred for
eviction.
Furthermore, a few additional changes are introduced to how discouraged
addresses are treated:
- Discouraging an address does not time out automatically after 24 hours
(or the `-bantime` setting). Depending on traffic from other peers,
discouragement may time out at an indeterminate time.
- Discouragement is not persisted over restarts.
- There is no method to list discouraged addresses. They are not returned by
the `listbanned` RPC. That RPC also no longer reports the `ban_reason`
field, as `"manually added"` is the only remaining option.
- Discouragement cannot be removed with the `setban remove` RPC command.
If you need to remove a discouragement, you can remove all discouragements by
stop-starting your node.
Notification changes
--------------------
`-walletnotify` notifications are now sent for wallet transactions that are
removed from the mempool because they conflict with a new block. These
notifications were sent previously before the v0.19 release, but had been
broken since that release (bug
[#18325](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/18325)).
PSBT changes
------------
PSBTs will contain both the non-witness utxo and the witness utxo for segwit
inputs in order to restore compatibility with wallet software that are now
requiring the full previous transaction for segwit inputs. The witness utxo
is still provided to maintain compatibility with software which relied on its
existence to determine whether an input was segwit.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.10.3.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.10.3 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.10.3/>
This is a new minor version release, bringing security fixes and translation
updates. It is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
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.

http://fc15.ifca.ai/preproceedings/bitcoin/paper_9.pdf
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

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.11.2.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.11.2 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.11.2/>
This is a new minor version release, bringing bug fixes, the BIP65
(CLTV) consensus change, and relay policy preparation for BIP113. It is
recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
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. There are no
known problems when downgrading from 0.11.x to 0.10.x.
Notable changes since 0.11.1
============================
BIP65 soft fork to enforce OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcode
--------------------------------------------------------
This release includes several changes related to the [BIP65][] soft fork
which redefines the existing OP_NOP2 opcode as OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY
(CLTV) so that a transaction output can be made unspendable until a
specified point in the future.
1. This release will only relay and mine transactions spending a CLTV
output if they comply with the BIP65 rules as provided in code.
2. This release will produce version 4 blocks by default. Please see the
*notice to miners* below.
3. Once 951 out of a sequence of 1,001 blocks on the local node's best block
chain contain version 4 (or higher) blocks, this release will no
longer accept new version 3 blocks and it will only accept version 4
blocks if they comply with the BIP65 rules for CLTV.
For more information about the soft-forking change, please see
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6351>
Graphs showing the progress towards block version 4 adoption may be
found at the URLs below:
- Block versions over the last 50,000 blocks as progress towards BIP65
consensus enforcement: <http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-50k.png>
- Block versions over the last 2,000 blocks showing the days to the
earliest possible BIP65 consensus-enforced block: <http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-2k.png>
**Notice to miners:** Bitcoin Core’s block templates are now for
version 4 blocks only, and any mining software relying on its
getblocktemplate must be updated in parallel to use libblkmaker either
version 0.4.3 or any version from 0.5.2 onward.
- If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade
Bitcoin Core, which must be done prior to BIP65 achieving its 951/1001
status.
- If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not
affect you.
- If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this
will affect you at the pool operator’s discretion, which must be no
later than BIP65 achieving its 951/1001 status.
[BIP65]: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki
BIP113 mempool-only locktime enforcement using GetMedianTimePast()
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bitcoin transactions currently may specify a locktime indicating when
they may be added to a valid block. Current consensus rules require
that blocks have a block header time greater than the locktime specified
in any transaction in that block.
Miners get to choose what time they use for their header time, with the
consensus rule being that no node will accept a block whose time is more
than two hours in the future. This creates a incentive for miners to
set their header times to future values in order to include locktimed
transactions which weren't supposed to be included for up to two more
hours.
The consensus rules also specify that valid blocks may have a header
time greater than that of the median of the 11 previous blocks. This
GetMedianTimePast() time has a key feature we generally associate with
time: it can't go backwards.
[BIP113][] specifies a soft fork (**not enforced in this release**) that
weakens this perverse incentive for individual miners to use a future
time by requiring that valid blocks have a computed GetMedianTimePast()
greater than the locktime specified in any transaction in that block.
Mempool inclusion rules currently require transactions to be valid for
immediate inclusion in a block in order to be accepted into the mempool.
This release begins applying the BIP113 rule to received transactions,
so transaction whose time is greater than the GetMedianTimePast() will
no longer be accepted into the mempool.
**Implication for miners:** you will begin rejecting transactions that
would not be valid under BIP113, which will prevent you from producing
invalid blocks if/when BIP113 is enforced on the network. Any
transactions which are valid under the current rules but not yet valid
under the BIP113 rules will either be mined by other miners or delayed
until they are valid under BIP113. Note, however, that time-based
locktime transactions are more or less unseen on the network currently.
**Implication for users:** GetMedianTimePast() always trails behind the
current time, so a transaction locktime set to the present time will be
rejected by nodes running this release until the median time moves
forward. To compensate, subtract one hour (3,600 seconds) from your
locktimes to allow those transactions to be included in mempools at
approximately the expected time.
[BIP113]: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0113.mediawiki
Windows bug fix for corrupted UTXO database on unclean shutdowns
----------------------------------------------------------------
Several Windows users reported that they often need to reindex the
entire blockchain after an unclean shutdown of Bitcoin Core on Windows
(or an unclean shutdown of Windows itself). Although unclean shutdowns
remain unsafe, this release no longer relies on memory-mapped files for
the UTXO database, which significantly reduced the frequency of unclean
shutdowns leading to required reindexes during testing.
For more information, see: <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6917>
Other fixes for database corruption on Windows are expected in the
next major release.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.9.2.1.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.9.2.1 is now available from:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2.1/
This is a new minor version release, bringing mostly bug fixes and some minor
improvements. OpenSSL has been updated because of a security issue (CVE-2014-0224).
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).
If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run
0.9.2.1 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from
30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
Downgrading warnings
--------------------
The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous
releases, so if you run 0.9.x and then decide to switch back to a
0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the
old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of
unspent transaction outputs).
Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate
data structures and correct the problem.
Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan
the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens
of minutes on a typical machine).
Important changes
==================
Gitian OSX build
-----------------
The deterministic build system that was already used for Windows and Linux
builds is now used for OSX as well. Although the resulting executables have
been tested quite a bit, there could be possible regressions. Be sure to report
these on the Github bug tracker mentioned above.
Compatibility of Linux build
-----------------------------
For Linux we now build against Qt 4.6, and filter the symbols for libstdc++ and glibc.
This brings back compatibility with
- Debian 6+ / Tails
- Ubuntu 10.04
- CentOS 6.5

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-23.2.md | 23.2 Release Notes
==================
Bitcoin Core version 23.2 is now available from:
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-23.2/>
This release includes various bug fixes and performance
improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
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 in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS)
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.15+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.

and performance improvements, as well as updated translations.

Compatibility
==============
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
an OS initially released in 2001. This means that not even critical security
updates will be released anymore. Without security updates, using a bitcoin
wallet on a XP machine is irresponsible at least.
In addition to that, with 0.12.x there have been varied reports of Bitcoin Core
randomly crashing on Windows XP. It is [not clear](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681#issuecomment-217439891)
what the source of these crashes is, but it is likely that upstream
libraries such as Qt are no longer being tested on XP.
We do not have time nor resources to provide support for an OS that is
end-of-life. From 0.13.0 on, Windows XP is no longer supported. Users are
suggested to upgrade to a newer verion of Windows, or install an alternative OS
that is supported.
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP,
you can still do so at your own risk, but do not expect it to work: do not
report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
Notable changes
===============
Database cache memory increased
--------------------------------
As a result of growth of the UTXO set, performance with the prior default
database cache of 100 MiB has suffered.
For this reason the default was changed to 300 MiB in this release.
For nodes on low-memory systems, the database cache can be changed back to
100 MiB (or to another value) by either:
- Adding `dbcache=100` in bitcoin.conf
- Changing it in the GUI under `Options → Size of database cache`
Note that the database cache setting has the most performance impact
during initial sync of a node, and when catching up after downtime.
bitcoin-cli: arguments privacy
------------------------------
The RPC command line client gained a new argument, `-stdin`
to read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl-D.
For example:
$ src/bitcoin-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
mysecretcode
120
..... press Ctrl-D here to end input
$
It is recommended to use this for sensitive information such as wallet
passphrases, as command-line arguments can usually be read from the process
table by any user on the system.
C++11 and Python 3
------------------
Various code modernizations have been done. The Bitcoin Core code base has
started using C++11. This means that a C++11-capable compiler is now needed for
building. Effectively this means GCC 4.7 or higher, or Clang 3.3 or higher.
When cross-compiling for a target that doesn't have C++11 libraries, configure with
`./configure --enable-glibc-back-compat ... LDFLAGS=-static-libstdc++`.
For running the functional tests in `qa/rpc-tests`, Python3.4 or higher is now
required.
Linux ARM builds
----------------
Due to popular request, Linux ARM builds have been added to the uploaded
executables.
The following extra files can be found in the download directory or torrent:
- `bitcoin-${VERSION}-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz`: Linux binaries targeting
the 32-bit ARMv7-A architecture.
- `bitcoin-${VERSION}-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.gz`: Linux binaries targeting
the 64-bit ARMv8-A architecture.
ARM builds are still experimental. If you have problems on a certain device or
Linux distribution combination please report them on the bug tracker, it may be
possible to resolve them. Note that the device you use must be (backward)
compatible with the architecture targeted by the binary that you use.
For example, a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B or Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (in its 32-bit
execution state) device, can run the 32-bit ARMv7-A targeted binary. However,
no model of Raspberry Pi 1 device can run either binary because they are all
ARMv6 architecture devices that are not compatible with ARMv7-A or ARMv8-A.
Note that Android is not considered ARM Linux in this context. The executables
are not expected to work out of the box on Android.
Compact Block support (BIP 152)
-------------------------------
Support for block relay using the Compact Blocks protocol has been implemented
in PR 8068.
The primary goal is reducing the bandwidth spikes at relay time, though in many
cases it also reduces propagation delay. It is automatically enabled between
compatible peers.
[BIP 152](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0152.mediawiki)
As a side-effect, ordinary non-mining nodes will download and upload blocks
faster if those blocks were produced by miners using similar transaction
filtering policies. This means that a miner who produces a block with many
transactions discouraged by your node will be relayed slower than one with
only transactions already in your memory pool. The overall effect of such
relay differences on the network may result in blocks which include widely-
discouraged transactions losing a stale block race, and therefore miners may
wish to configure their node to take common relay policies into consideration.
Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation
-----------------------------------------
Newly created wallets will use hierarchical deterministic key generation
according to BIP32 (keypath m/0'/0'/k').
Existing wallets will still use traditional key generation.
Backups of HD wallets, regardless of when they have been created, can
therefore be used to re-generate all possible private keys, even the
ones which haven't already been generated during the time of the backup.
**Attention:** Encrypting the wallet will create a new seed which requires
a new backup!
Wallet dumps (created using the `dumpwallet` RPC) will contain the deterministic
seed. This is expected to allow future versions to import the seed and all
associated funds, but this is not yet implemented.
HD key generation for new wallets can be disabled by `-usehd=0`. Keep in
mind that this flag only has affect on newly created wallets.
You can't disable HD key generation once you have created a HD wallet.
There is no distinction between internal (change) and external keys.
HD wallets are incompatible with older versions of Bitcoin Core.
[Pull request](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8035/files), [BIP 32](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki)
Segregated Witness
------------------
The code preparations for Segregated Witness ("segwit"), as described in [BIP
141](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki), [BIP
143](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0143.mediawiki), [BIP
144](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0144.mediawiki), and [BIP
145](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0145.mediawiki) are
finished and included in this release. However, BIP 141 does not yet specify
activation parameters on mainnet, and so this release does not support segwit
use on mainnet. Testnet use is supported, and after BIP 141 is updated with
proposed parameters, a future release of Bitcoin Core is expected that
implements those parameters for mainnet.
Furthermore, because segwit activation is not yet specified for mainnet,
version 0.13.0 will behave similarly as other pre-segwit releases even after a
future activation of BIP 141 on the network. Upgrading from 0.13.0 will be
required in order to utilize segwit-related features on mainnet (such as signal
BIP 141 activation, mine segwit blocks, fully validate segwit blocks, relay
segwit blocks to other segwit nodes, and use segwit transactions in the
wallet, etc).
Mining transaction selection ("Child Pays For Parent")
------------------------------------------------------
The mining transaction selection algorithm has been replaced with an algorithm
that selects transactions based on their feerate inclusive of unconfirmed
ancestor transactions. This means that a low-fee transaction can become more
likely to be selected if a high-fee transaction that spends its outputs is
relayed.
With this change, the `-blockminsize` command line option has been removed.
The command line option `-blockmaxsize` remains an option to specify the
maximum number of serialized bytes in a generated block. In addition, the new
command line option `-blockmaxweight` has been added, which specifies the
maximum "block weight" of a generated block, as defined by [BIP 141 (Segregated
Witness)] (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki).
In preparation for Segregated Witness, the mining algorithm has been modified
to optimize transaction selection for a given block weight, rather than a given
number of serialized bytes in a block. In this release, transaction selection
is unaffected by this distinction (as BIP 141 activation is not supported on
mainnet in this release, see above), but in future releases and after BIP 141
activation, these calculations would be expected to differ.
For optimal runtime performance, miners using this release should specify
`-blockmaxweight` on the command line, and not specify `-blockmaxsize`.
Additionally (or only) specifying `-blockmaxsize`, or relying on default
settings for both, may result in performance degradation, as the logic to
support `-blockmaxsize` performs additional computation to ensure that
constraint is met. (Note that for mainnet, in this release, the equivalent
parameter for `-blockmaxweight` would be four times the desired
`-blockmaxsize`. See [BIP 141]
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki) for additional
details.)
In the future, the `-blockmaxsize` option may be removed, as block creation is
no longer optimized for this metric. Feedback is requested on whether to
deprecate or keep this command line option in future releases.
Reindexing changes
------------------
In earlier versions, reindexing did validation while reading through the block
files on disk. These two have now been split up, so that all blocks are known
before validation starts. This was necessary to make certain optimizations that
are available during normal synchronizations also available during reindexing.
The two phases are distinct in the Bitcoin-Qt GUI. During the first one,
"Reindexing blocks on disk" is shown. During the second (slower) one,
"Processing blocks on disk" is shown.
It is possible to only redo validation now, without rebuilding the block index,
using the command line option `-reindex-chainstate` (in addition to
`-reindex` which does both). This new option is useful when the blocks on disk
are assumed to be fine, but the chainstate is still corrupted. It is also
useful for benchmarks.
Removal of internal miner
--------------------------
As CPU mining has been useless for a long time, the internal miner has been
removed in this release, and replaced with a simpler implementation for the
test framework.
The overall result of this is that `setgenerate` RPC call has been removed, as
well as the `-gen` and `-genproclimit` command-line options.
For testing, the `generate` call can still be used to mine a block, and a new
RPC call `generatetoaddress` has been added to mine to a specific address. This
works with wallet disabled.
New bytespersigop implementation
--------------------------------
The former implementation of the bytespersigop filter accidentally broke bare
multisig (which is meant to be controlled by the `permitbaremultisig` option),
since the consensus protocol always counts these older transaction forms as 20
sigops for backwards compatibility. Simply fixing this bug by counting more
accurately would have reintroduced a vulnerability. It has therefore been
replaced with a new implementation that rather than filter such transactions,
instead treats them (for fee purposes only) as if they were in fact the size
of a transaction actually using all 20 sigops.
Low-level P2P changes
----------------------
- The optional new p2p message "feefilter" is implemented and the protocol
version is bumped to 70013. Upon receiving a feefilter message from a peer,
a node will not send invs for any transactions which do not meet the filter
feerate. [BIP 133](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0133.mediawiki)
- The P2P alert system has been removed in PR #7692 and the `alert` P2P message
is no longer supported.
- The transaction relay mechanism used to relay one quarter of all transactions
instantly, while queueing up the rest and sending them out in batch. As
this resulted in chains of dependent transactions being reordered, it
systematically hurt transaction relay. The relay code was redesigned in PRs
\#7840 and #8082, and now always batches transactions announcements while also
sorting them according to dependency order. This significantly reduces orphan
transactions. To compensate for the removal of instant relay, the frequency of
batch sending was doubled for outgoing peers.
- Since PR #7840 the BIP35 `mempool` command is also subject to batch processing.
Also the `mempool` message is no longer handled for non-whitelisted peers when
`NODE_BLOOM` is disabled through `-peerbloomfilters=0`.
- The maximum size of orphan transactions that are kept in memory until their
ancestors arrive has been raised in PR #8179 from 5000 to 99999 bytes. They
are now also removed from memory when they are included in a block, conflict
with a block, and time out after 20 minutes.
- We respond at most once to a getaddr request during the lifetime of a
connection since PR #7856.
- Connections to peers who have recently been the first one to give us a valid
new block or transaction are protected from disconnections since PR #8084.
Low-level RPC changes
----------------------
- RPC calls have been added to output detailed statistics for individual mempool
entries, as well as to calculate the in-mempool ancestors or descendants of a
transaction: see `getmempoolentry`, `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants`.
- `gettxoutsetinfo` UTXO hash (`hash_serialized`) has changed. There was a divergence between
32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and the txids were missing in the hashed data. This has been
fixed, but this means that the output will be different than from previous versions.
- Full UTF-8 support in the RPC API. Non-ASCII characters in, for example,
wallet labels have always been malformed because they weren't taken into account
properly in JSON RPC processing. This is no longer the case. This also affects
the GUI debug console.
- Asm script outputs replacements for OP_NOP2 and OP_NOP3
- OP_NOP2 has been renamed to OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY by [BIP
65](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki)
- OP_NOP3 has been renamed to OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY by [BIP
112](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.mediawiki)
- The following outputs are affected by this change:
- RPC `getrawtransaction` (in verbose mode)
- RPC `decoderawtransaction`
- RPC `decodescript`
- REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format)
- REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details)
- `bitcoin-tx -json`
- The sorting of the output of the `getrawmempool` output has changed.
- New RPC commands: `generatetoaddress`, `importprunedfunds`, `removeprunedfunds`, `signmessagewithprivkey`,
`getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants`, `getmempoolentry`,
`createwitnessaddress`, `addwitnessaddress`.
- Removed RPC commands: `setgenerate`, `getgenerate`.
- New options were added to `fundrawtransaction`: `includeWatching`, `changeAddress`, `changePosition` and `feeRate`.
Low-level ZMQ changes
----------------------
- Each ZMQ notification now contains an up-counting sequence number that allows
listeners to detect lost notifications.
The sequence number is always the last element in a multi-part ZMQ notification and
therefore backward compatible. Each message type has its own counter.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.12.1.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.12.1 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.12.1/>
This is a new minor version release, including the BIP9, BIP68 and BIP112
softfork, various bugfixes and updated translations.
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
-----------------
### Downgrade to a version < 0.12.0
Because release 0.12.0 and later will obfuscate the chainstate on every
fresh sync or reindex, the chainstate is not backwards-compatible with
pre-0.12 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software.
If you want to downgrade after you have done a reindex with 0.12.0 or later,
you will need to reindex when you first start Bitcoin Core version 0.11 or
earlier.
Notable changes
===============
First version bits BIP9 softfork deployment
-------------------------------------------
This release includes a soft fork deployment to enforce [BIP68][],
[BIP112][] and [BIP113][] using the [BIP9][] deployment mechanism.
The deployment sets the block version number to 0x20000001 between
midnight 1st May 2016 and midnight 1st May 2017 to signal readiness for
deployment. The version number consists of 0x20000000 to indicate version
bits together with setting bit 0 to indicate support for this combined
deployment, shown as "csv" in the `getblockchaininfo` RPC call.
For more information about the soft forking change, please see
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7648>
This specific backport pull-request can be viewed at
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7543>
[BIP9]: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0009.mediawiki
[BIP68]: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0068.mediawiki
[BIP112]: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.mediawiki
[BIP113]: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0113.mediawiki
BIP68 soft fork to enforce sequence locks for relative locktime
---------------------------------------------------------------
[BIP68][] introduces relative lock-time consensus-enforced semantics of
the sequence number field to enable a signed transaction input to remain
invalid for a defined period of time after confirmation of its corresponding
outpoint.
For more information about the implementation, see
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7184>
BIP112 soft fork to enforce OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY
--------------------------------------------------
[BIP112][] redefines the existing OP_NOP3 as OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY (CSV)
for a new opcode in the Bitcoin scripting system that in combination with
[BIP68][] allows execution pathways of a script to be restricted based
on the age of the output being spent.
For more information about the implementation, see
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7524>
BIP113 locktime enforcement soft fork
-------------------------------------
Bitcoin Core 0.11.2 previously introduced mempool-only locktime
enforcement using GetMedianTimePast(). This release seeks to
consensus enforce the rule.
Bitcoin transactions currently may specify a locktime indicating when
they may be added to a valid block. Current consensus rules require
that blocks have a block header time greater than the locktime specified
in any transaction in that block.
Miners get to choose what time they use for their header time, with the
consensus rule being that no node will accept a block whose time is more
than two hours in the future. This creates a incentive for miners to
set their header times to future values in order to include locktimed
transactions which weren't supposed to be included for up to two more
hours.
The consensus rules also specify that valid blocks may have a header
time greater than that of the median of the 11 previous blocks. This
GetMedianTimePast() time has a key feature we generally associate with
time: it can't go backwards.
[BIP113][] specifies a soft fork enforced in this release that
weakens this perverse incentive for individual miners to use a future
time by requiring that valid blocks have a computed GetMedianTimePast()
greater than the locktime specified in any transaction in that block.
Mempool inclusion rules currently require transactions to be valid for
immediate inclusion in a block in order to be accepted into the mempool.
This release begins applying the BIP113 rule to received transactions,
so transaction whose time is greater than the GetMedianTimePast() will
no longer be accepted into the mempool.
**Implication for miners:** you will begin rejecting transactions that
would not be valid under BIP113, which will prevent you from producing
invalid blocks when BIP113 is enforced on the network. Any
transactions which are valid under the current rules but not yet valid
under the BIP113 rules will either be mined by other miners or delayed
until they are valid under BIP113. Note, however, that time-based
locktime transactions are more or less unseen on the network currently.
**Implication for users:** GetMedianTimePast() always trails behind the
current time, so a transaction locktime set to the present time will be
rejected by nodes running this release until the median time moves
forward. To compensate, subtract one hour (3,600 seconds) from your
locktimes to allow those transactions to be included in mempools at
approximately the expected time.
For more information about the implementation, see
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6566>
Miscellaneous

The p2p alert system is off by default. To turn on, use `-alert` with
startup configuration.

Compatibility
==============
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
an OS initially released in 2001. This means that not even critical security
updates will be released anymore. Without security updates, using a bitcoin
wallet on a XP machine is irresponsible at least.
In addition to that, with 0.12.x there have been varied reports of Bitcoin Core
randomly crashing on Windows XP. It is [not clear](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681#issuecomment-217439891)
what the source of these crashes is, but it is likely that upstream
libraries such as Qt are no longer being tested on XP.
We do not have time nor resources to provide support for an OS that is
end-of-life. From 0.13.0 on, Windows XP is no longer supported. Users are
suggested to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, or install an alternative OS
that is supported.
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP,
you can still do so at your own risk, but do not expect it to work: do not
report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
From 0.13.1 onwards OS X 10.7 is no longer supported. 0.13.0 was intended to work on 10.7+,
but severe issues with the libc++ version on 10.7.x keep it from running reliably.
0.13.1 now requires 10.8+, and will communicate that to 10.7 users, rather than crashing unexpectedly.
Notable changes
===============
Segregated witness soft fork
----------------------------
Segregated witness (segwit) is a soft fork that, if activated, will
allow transaction-producing software to separate (segregate) transaction
signatures (witnesses) from the part of the data in a transaction that is
covered by the txid. This provides several immediate benefits:
- **Elimination of unwanted transaction malleability:** Segregating the witness
allows both existing and upgraded software to calculate the transaction
identifier (txid) of transactions without referencing the witness, which can
sometimes be changed by third-parties (such as miners) or by co-signers in a
multisig spend. This solves all known cases of unwanted transaction
malleability, which is a problem that makes programming Bitcoin wallet
software more difficult and which seriously complicates the design of smart
contracts for Bitcoin.
- **Capacity increase:** Segwit transactions contain new fields that are not
part of the data currently used to calculate the size of a block, which
allows a block containing segwit transactions to hold more data than allowed
by the current maximum block size. Estimates based on the transactions
currently found in blocks indicate that if all wallets switch to using
segwit, the network will be able to support about 70% more transactions. The
network will also be able to support more of the advanced-style payments
(such as multisig) than it can support now because of the different weighting
given to different parts of a transaction after segwit activates (see the
following section for details).
- **Weighting data based on how it affects node performance:** Some parts of
each Bitcoin block need to be stored by nodes in order to validate future
blocks; other parts of a block can be immediately forgotten (pruned) or used
only for helping other nodes sync their copy of the block chain. One large
part of the immediately prunable data are transaction signatures (witnesses),
and segwit makes it possible to give a different "weight" to segregated
witnesses to correspond with the lower demands they place on node resources.
Specifically, each byte of a segregated witness is given a weight of 1, each
other byte in a block is given a weight of 4, and the maximum allowed weight
of a block is 4 million. Weighting the data this way better aligns the most
profitable strategy for creating blocks with the long-term costs of block
validation.
- **Signature covers value:** A simple improvement in the way signatures are
generated in segwit simplifies the design of secure signature generators
(such as hardware wallets), reduces the amount of data the signature
generator needs to download, and allows the signature generator to operate
more quickly. This is made possible by having the generator sign the amount
of bitcoins they think they are spending, and by having full nodes refuse to
accept those signatures unless the amount of bitcoins being spent is exactly
the same as was signed. For non-segwit transactions, wallets instead had to
download the complete previous transactions being spent for every payment
they made, which could be a slow operation on hardware wallets and in other
situations where bandwidth or computation speed was constrained.
- **Linear scaling of sighash operations:** In 2015 a block was produced that
required about 25 seconds to validate on modern hardware because of the way
transaction signature hashes are performed. Other similar blocks, or blocks
that could take even longer to validate, can still be produced today. The
problem that caused this can't be fixed in a soft fork without unwanted
side-effects, but transactions that opt-in to using segwit will now use a
different signature method that doesn't suffer from this problem and doesn't
have any unwanted side-effects.
- **Increased security for multisig:** Bitcoin addresses (both P2PKH addresses
that start with a '1' and P2SH addresses that start with a '3') use a hash
function known as RIPEMD-160. For P2PKH addresses, this provides about 160
bits of security---which is beyond what cryptographers believe can be broken
today. But because P2SH is more flexible, only about 80 bits of security is
provided per address. Although 80 bits is very strong security, it is within
the realm of possibility that it can be broken by a powerful adversary.
Segwit allows advanced transactions to use the SHA256 hash function instead,
which provides about 128 bits of security (that is 281 trillion times as
much security as 80 bits and is equivalent to the maximum bits of security
believed to be provided by Bitcoin's choice of parameters for its Elliptic
Curve Digital Security Algorithm [ECDSA].)
- **More efficient almost-full-node security** Satoshi Nakamoto's original
Bitcoin paper describes a method for allowing newly-started full nodes to
skip downloading and validating some data from historic blocks that are
protected by large amounts of proof of work. Unfortunately, Nakamoto's
method can't guarantee that a newly-started node using this method will
produce an accurate copy of Bitcoin's current ledger (called the UTXO set),
making the node vulnerable to falling out of consensus with other nodes.
Although the problems with Nakamoto's method can't be fixed in a soft fork,
Segwit accomplishes something similar to his original proposal: it makes it
possible for a node to optionally skip downloading some blockchain data
(specifically, the segregated witnesses) while still ensuring that the node
can build an accurate copy of the UTXO set for the block chain with the most
proof of work. Segwit enables this capability at the consensus layer, but
note that Bitcoin Core does not provide an option to use this capability as
of this 0.13.1 release.
- **Script versioning:** Segwit makes it easy for future soft forks to allow
Bitcoin users to individually opt-in to almost any change in the Bitcoin
Script language when those users receive new transactions. Features
currently being researched by Bitcoin Core contributors that may use this
capability include support for Schnorr signatures, which can improve the
privacy and efficiency of multisig transactions (or transactions with
multiple inputs), and Merklized Abstract Syntax Trees (MAST), which can
improve the privacy and efficiency of scripts with two or more conditions.
Other Bitcoin community members are studying several other improvements
that can be made using script versioning.
Activation for the segwit soft fork is being managed using BIP9
versionbits. Segwit's version bit is bit 1, and nodes will begin
tracking which blocks signal support for segwit at the beginning of the
first retarget period after segwit's start date of 15 November 2016. If
95% of blocks within a 2,016-block retarget period (about two weeks)
signal support for segwit, the soft fork will be locked in. After
another 2,016 blocks, segwit will activate.
For more information about segwit, please see the [segwit FAQ][], the
[segwit wallet developers guide][] or BIPs [141][BIP141], [143][BIP143],
[144][BIP144], and [145][BIP145]. If you're a miner or mining pool
operator, please see the [versionbits FAQ][] for information about
signaling support for a soft fork.

Null dummy soft fork
-------------------
Combined with the segwit soft fork is an additional change that turns a
long-existing network relay policy into a consensus rule. The
`OP_CHECKMULTISIG` and `OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY` opcodes consume an extra
stack element ("dummy element") after signature validation. The dummy
element is not inspected in any manner, and could be replaced by any
value without invalidating the script.
Because any value can be used for this dummy element, it's possible for
a third-party to insert data into other people's transactions, changing
the transaction's txid (called transaction malleability) and possibly
causing other problems.
Since Bitcoin Core 0.10.0, nodes have defaulted to only relaying and
mining transactions whose dummy element was a null value (0x00, also
called OP_0). The null dummy soft fork turns this relay rule into a
consensus rule both for non-segwit transactions and segwit transactions,
so that this method of mutating transactions is permanently eliminated
from the network.
Signaling for the null dummy soft fork is done by signaling support
for segwit, and the null dummy soft fork will activate at the same time
as segwit.
For more information, please see [BIP147][].
[BIP147]: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0147.mediawiki
Low-level RPC changes
---------------------
- `importprunedfunds` only accepts two required arguments. Some versions accept
an optional third arg, which was always ignored. Make sure to never pass more
than two arguments.
Linux ARM builds
----------------
With the 0.13.0 release, pre-built Linux ARM binaries were added to the set of
uploaded executables. Additional detail on the ARM architecture targeted by each
is provided below.
The following extra files can be found in the download directory or torrent:
- `bitcoin-${VERSION}-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz`: Linux binaries targeting
the 32-bit ARMv7-A architecture.
- `bitcoin-${VERSION}-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.gz`: Linux binaries targeting
the 64-bit ARMv8-A architecture.
ARM builds are still experimental. If you have problems on a certain device or
Linux distribution combination please report them on the bug tracker, it may be
possible to resolve them. Note that the device you use must be (backward)
compatible with the architecture targeted by the binary that you use.
For example, a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B or Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (in its 32-bit
execution state) device, can run the 32-bit ARMv7-A targeted binary. However,
no model of Raspberry Pi 1 device can run either binary because they are all
ARMv6 architecture devices that are not compatible with ARMv7-A or ARMv8-A.
Note that Android is not considered ARM Linux in this context. The executables
are not expected to work out of the box on Android.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.12.0.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.12.0 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.12.0/>
This is a new major version release, bringing new features and other improvements.
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
-----------------
### Downgrade to a version < 0.10.0
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.
### Downgrade to a version < 0.12.0
Because release 0.12.0 and later will obfuscate the chainstate on every
fresh sync or reindex, the chainstate is not backwards-compatible with
pre-0.12 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software.
If you want to downgrade after you have done a reindex with 0.12.0 or later,
you will need to reindex when you first start Bitcoin Core version 0.11 or
earlier.
Notable changes
===============
Signature validation using libsecp256k1
---------------------------------------
ECDSA signatures inside Bitcoin transactions now use validation using
[libsecp256k1](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1) instead of OpenSSL.
Depending on the platform, this means a significant speedup for raw signature
validation speed. The advantage is largest on x86_64, where validation is over
five times faster. In practice, this translates to a raw reindexing and new
block validation times that are less than half of what it was before.
Libsecp256k1 has undergone very extensive testing and validation.
A side effect of this change is that libconsensus no longer depends on OpenSSL.
Reduce upload traffic
---------------------
A major part of the outbound traffic is caused by serving historic blocks to
other nodes in initial block download state.
It is now possible to reduce the total upload traffic via the `-maxuploadtarget`
parameter. This is *not* a hard limit but a threshold to minimize the outbound
traffic. When the limit is about to be reached, the uploaded data is cut by not
serving historic blocks (blocks older than one week).
Moreover, any SPV peer is disconnected when they request a filtered block.
This option can be specified in MiB per day and is turned off by default
(`-maxuploadtarget=0`).
The recommended minimum is 144 * MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (currently 144MB) per day.
Whitelisted peers will never be disconnected, although their traffic counts for
calculating the target.
A more detailed documentation about keeping traffic low can be found in
[/doc/reduce-traffic.md](/doc/reduce-traffic.md).
Direct headers announcement (BIP 130)
-------------------------------------
Between compatible peers, [BIP 130]
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0130.mediawiki)
direct headers announcement is used. This means that blocks are advertised by
announcing their headers directly, instead of just announcing the hash. In a
reorganization, all new headers are sent, instead of just the new tip. This
can often prevent an extra roundtrip before the actual block is downloaded.
Memory pool limiting
--------------------
Previous versions of Bitcoin Core had their mempool limited by checking
a transaction's fees against the node's minimum relay fee. There was no
upper bound on the size of the mempool and attackers could send a large
number of transactions paying just slighly more than the default minimum
relay fee to crash nodes with relatively low RAM. A temporary workaround
for previous versions of Bitcoin Core was to raise the default minimum
relay fee.
Bitcoin Core 0.12 will have a strict maximum size on the mempool. The
default value is 300 MB and can be configured with the `-maxmempool`
parameter. Whenever a transaction would cause the mempool to exceed
its maximum size, the transaction that (along with in-mempool descendants) has
the lowest total feerate (as a package) will be evicted and the node's effective
minimum relay feerate will be increased to match this feerate plus the initial
minimum relay feerate. The initial minimum relay feerate is set to
1000 satoshis per kB.
Bitcoin Core 0.12 also introduces new default policy limits on the length and
size of unconfirmed transaction chains that are allowed in the mempool
(generally limiting the length of unconfirmed chains to 25 transactions, with a
total size of 101 KB). These limits can be overridden using command line
arguments; see the extended help (`--help -help-debug`) for more information.
Opt-in Replace-by-fee transactions
----------------------------------
It is now possible to replace transactions in the transaction memory pool of
Bitcoin Core 0.12 nodes. Bitcoin Core will only allow replacement of
transactions which have any of their inputs' `nSequence` number set to less
than `0xffffffff - 1`. Moreover, a replacement transaction may only be
accepted when it pays sufficient fee, as described in [BIP 125]
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0125.mediawiki).
Transaction replacement can be disabled with a new command line option,
`-mempoolreplacement=0`. Transactions signaling replacement under BIP125 will
still be allowed into the mempool in this configuration, but replacements will
be rejected. This option is intended for miners who want to continue the
transaction selection behavior of previous releases.
The `-mempoolreplacement` option is *not recommended* for wallet users seeking
to avoid receipt of unconfirmed opt-in transactions, because this option does
not prevent transactions which are replaceable under BIP 125 from being accepted
(only subsequent replacements, which other nodes on the network that implement
BIP 125 are likely to relay and mine). Wallet users wishing to detect whether
a transaction is subject to replacement under BIP 125 should instead use the
updated RPC calls `gettransaction` and `listtransactions`, which now have an
additional field in the output indicating if a transaction is replaceable under
BIP125 ("bip125-replaceable").
Note that the wallet in Bitcoin Core 0.12 does not yet have support for
creating transactions that would be replaceable under BIP 125.
RPC: Random-cookie RPC authentication
-------------------------------------
When no `-rpcpassword` is specified, the daemon now uses a special 'cookie'
file for authentication. This file is generated with random content when the
daemon starts, and deleted when it exits. Its contents are used as
authentication token. Read access to this file controls who can access through
RPC. By default it is stored in the data directory but its location can be
overridden with the option `-rpccookiefile`.
This is similar to Tor's CookieAuthentication: see
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
This allows running bitcoind without having to do any manual configuration.
Relay: Any sequence of pushdatas in OP_RETURN outputs now allowed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Previously OP_RETURN outputs with a payload were only relayed and mined if they
had a single pushdata. This restriction has been lifted to allow any
combination of data pushes and numeric constant opcodes (OP_1 to OP_16) after
the OP_RETURN. The limit on OP_RETURN output size is now applied to the entire
serialized scriptPubKey, 83 bytes by default. (the previous 80 byte default plus
three bytes overhead)
Relay: New and only new blocks relayed when pruning
---------------------------------------------------
When running in pruned mode, the client will now relay new blocks. When
responding to the `getblocks` message, only hashes of blocks that are on disk
and are likely to remain there for some reasonable time window (1 hour) will be
returned (previously all relevant hashes were returned).
Relay and Mining: Priority transactions
---------------------------------------
Bitcoin Core has a heuristic 'priority' based on coin value and age. This
calculation is used for relaying of transactions which do not pay the
minimum relay fee, and can be used as an alternative way of sorting
transactions for mined blocks. Bitcoin Core will relay transactions with
insufficient fees depending on the setting of `-limitfreerelay=<r>` (default:
`r=15` kB per minute) and `-blockprioritysize=<s>`.
In Bitcoin Core 0.12, when mempool limit has been reached a higher minimum
relay fee takes effect to limit memory usage. Transactions which do not meet
this higher effective minimum relay fee will not be relayed or mined even if
they rank highly according to the priority heuristic.
The mining of transactions based on their priority is also now disabled by
default. To re-enable it, simply set `-blockprioritysize=<n>` where is the size
in bytes of your blocks to reserve for these transactions. The old default was
50k, so to retain approximately the same policy, you would set
`-blockprioritysize=50000`.
Additionally, as a result of computational simplifications, the priority value
used for transactions received with unconfirmed inputs is lower than in prior
versions due to avoiding recomputing the amounts as input transactions confirm.
External miner policy set via the `prioritisetransaction` RPC to rank
transactions already in the mempool continues to work as it has previously.
Note, however, that if mining priority transactions is left disabled, the
priority delta will be ignored and only the fee metric will be effective.
This internal automatic prioritization handling is being considered for removal
entirely in Bitcoin Core 0.13, and it is at this time undecided whether the
more accurate priority calculation for chained unconfirmed transactions will be
restored. Community direction on this topic is particularly requested to help
set project priorities.
Automatically use Tor hidden services
-------------------------------------
Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
Bitcoin Core has been updated to make use of this.
This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
Bitcoin Core automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without
manual configuration. Bitcoin Core will also use Tor automatically to connect
to other .onion nodes if the control socket can be successfully opened. This
will positively affect the number of available .onion nodes and their usage.
This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening, and
a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with the `-listenonion`,
`-torcontrol` and `-torpassword` settings. To show verbose debugging
information, pass `-debug=tor`.
Notifications through ZMQ
-------------------------
Bitcoind can now (optionally) asynchronously notify clients through a
ZMQ-based PUB socket of the arrival of new transactions and blocks.
This feature requires installation of the ZMQ C API library 4.x and
configuring its use through the command line or configuration file.
Please see [docs/zmq.md](/doc/zmq.md) for details of operation.
Wallet: Transaction fees
------------------------
Various improvements have been made to how the wallet calculates
transaction fees.
Users can decide to pay a predefined fee rate by setting `-paytxfee=<n>`
(or `settxfee <n>` rpc during runtime). A value of `n=0` signals Bitcoin
Core to use floating fees. By default, Bitcoin Core will use floating
fees.
Based on past transaction data, floating fees approximate the fees
required to get into the `m`th block from now. This is configurable
with `-txconfirmtarget=<m>` (default: `2`).
Sometimes, it is not possible to give good estimates, or an estimate
at all. Therefore, a fallback value can be set with `-fallbackfee=<f>`
(default: `0.0002` BTC/kB).
At all times, Bitcoin Core will cap fees at `-maxtxfee=<x>` (default:
0.10) BTC.
Furthermore, Bitcoin Core will never create transactions paying less than
the current minimum relay fee.
Finally, a user can set the minimum fee rate for all transactions with
`-mintxfee=<i>`, which defaults to 1000 satoshis per kB.
Wallet: Negative confirmations and conflict detection
-----------------------------------------------------
The wallet will now report a negative number for confirmations that indicates
how deep in the block chain the conflict is found. For example, if a transaction
A has 5 confirmations and spends the same input as a wallet transaction B, B
will be reported as having -5 confirmations. If another wallet transaction C
spends an output from B, it will also be reported as having -5 confirmations.
To detect conflicts with historical transactions in the chain a one-time
`-rescan` may be needed.
Unlike earlier versions, unconfirmed but non-conflicting transactions will never
get a negative confirmation count. They are not treated as spendable unless
they're coming from ourself (change) and accepted into our local mempool,
however. The new "trusted" field in the `listtransactions` RPC output
indicates whether outputs of an unconfirmed transaction are considered
spendable.
Wallet: Merkle branches removed
-------------------------------
Previously, every wallet transaction stored a Merkle branch to prove its
presence in blocks. This wasn't being used for more than an expensive
sanity check. Since 0.12, these are no longer stored. When loading a
0.12 wallet into an older version, it will automatically rescan to avoid
failed checks.
Wallet: Pruning
---------------
With 0.12 it is possible to use wallet functionality in pruned mode.
This can reduce the disk usage from currently around 60 GB to
around 2 GB.
However, rescans as well as the RPCs `importwallet`, `importaddress`,
`importprivkey` are disabled.
To enable block pruning set `prune=<N>` on the command line or in
`bitcoin.conf`, where `N` is the number of MiB to allot for
raw block & undo data.
A value of 0 disables pruning. The minimal value above 0 is 550. Your
wallet is as secure with high values as it is with low ones. Higher
values merely ensure that your node will not shut down upon blockchain
reorganizations of more than 2 days - which are unlikely to happen in
practice. In future releases, a higher value may also help the network
as a whole: stored blocks could be served to other nodes.
For further information about pruning, you may also consult the [release
notes of v0.11.0](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.11.0/doc/release-notes.md#block-file-pruning).
`NODE_BLOOM` service bit
------------------------
Support for the `NODE_BLOOM` service bit, as described in [BIP
111](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0111.mediawiki), has been
added to the P2P protocol code.
BIP 111 defines a service bit to allow peers to advertise that they support
bloom filters (such as used by SPV clients) explicitly. It also bumps the protocol
version to allow peers to identify old nodes which allow bloom filtering of the
connection despite lacking the new service bit.
In this version, it is only enforced for peers that send protocol versions
`>=70011`. For the next major version it is planned that this restriction will be
removed. It is recommended to update SPV clients to check for the `NODE_BLOOM`
service bit for nodes that report versions newer than 70011.
Option parsing behavior
-----------------------
Command line options are now parsed strictly in the order in which they are
specified. It used to be the case that `-X -noX` ends up, unintuitively, with X
set, as `-X` had precedence over `-noX`. This is no longer the case. Like for
other software, the last specified value for an option will hold.
RPC: Low-level API changes
--------------------------
- Monetary amounts can be provided as strings. This means that for example the
argument to sendtoaddress can be "0.0001" instead of 0.0001. This can be an
advantage if a JSON library insists on using a lossy floating point type for
numbers, which would be dangerous for monetary amounts.
* The `asm` property of each scriptSig now contains the decoded signature hash
type for each signature that provides a valid defined hash type.
* OP_NOP2 has been renamed to OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY by [BIP 65](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki)
The following items contain assembly representations of scriptSig signatures
and are affected by this change:
- RPC `getrawtransaction`
- RPC `decoderawtransaction`
- RPC `decodescript`
- REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format)
- REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details)
- `bitcoin-tx -json`
For example, the `scriptSig.asm` property of a transaction input that
previously showed an assembly representation of:
304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c509001 400000 OP_NOP2
now shows as:
304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c5090[ALL] 400000 OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY
Note that the output of the RPC `decodescript` did not change because it is
configured specifically to process scriptPubKey and not scriptSig scripts.
RPC: SSL support dropped
------------------------
SSL support for RPC, previously enabled by the option `rpcssl` has been dropped
from both the client and the server. This was done in preparation for removing
the dependency on OpenSSL for the daemon completely.
Trying to use `rpcssl` will result in an error:
Error: SSL mode for RPC (-rpcssl) is no longer supported.
If you are one of the few people that relies on this feature, a flexible
migration path is to use `stunnel`. This is an utility that can tunnel
arbitrary TCP connections inside SSL. On e.g. Ubuntu it can be installed with:
sudo apt-get install stunnel4
Then, to tunnel a SSL connection on 28332 to a RPC server bound on localhost on port 18332 do:
stunnel -d 28332 -r 127.0.0.1:18332 -p stunnel.pem -P ''
It can also be set up system-wide in inetd style.
Another way to re-attain SSL would be to setup a httpd reverse proxy. This solution
would allow the use of different authentication, loadbalancing, on-the-fly compression and
caching. A sample config for apache2 could look like:
Listen 443
NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
<Location /bitcoinrpc>
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8332/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8332/
# optional enable digest auth
# AuthType Digest
# ...
# optional bypass bitcoind rpc basic auth
# RequestHeader set Authorization "Basic <hash>"
# get the <hash> from the shell with: base64 <<< bitcoinrpc:<password>
</Location>
# Or, balance the load:
# ProxyPass / balancer://balancer_cluster_name
</VirtualHost>
Mining Code Changes
-------------------
The mining code in 0.12 has been optimized to be significantly faster and use less
memory. As part of these changes, consensus critical calculations are cached on a
transaction's acceptance into the mempool and the mining code now relies on the
consistency of the mempool to assemble blocks. However all blocks are still tested
for validity after assembly.
Other P2P Changes
-----------------
The list of banned peers is now stored on disk rather than in memory.
Restarting bitcoind will no longer clear out the list of banned peers; instead
a new RPC call (`clearbanned`) can be used to manually clear the list. The new
`setban` RPC call can also be used to manually ban or unban a peer.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.10.2.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.10.2 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.10.2/>
This is a new minor version release, bringing minor 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
===============
This fixes a serious problem on Windows with data directories that have non-ASCII
characters (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6078).
For other platforms there are no notable changes.
For the notable changes in 0.10, refer to the release notes
at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.10.0/doc/release-notes.md
0.10.2 Change log
=================
Detailed release notes follow. This overview includes changes that affect external
behavior, not code moves, refactors or string updates.
Wallet:
- `824c011` fix boost::get usage with boost 1.58
Miscellaneous:
- `da65606` Avoid crash on start in TestBlockValidity with gen=1.
- `424ae66` don't imbue boost::filesystem::path with locale "C" on windows (fixes #6078)

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-23.0.md | 23.0 Release Notes
==================
Bitcoin Core version 23.0 is now available from:
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-23.0/>
This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance
improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
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 in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.15+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.
Notable changes
===============
P2P and network changes
-----------------------
- A bitcoind node will no longer rumour addresses to inbound peers by default.
They will become eligible for address gossip after sending an ADDR, ADDRV2,
or GETADDR message. (#21528)
- Before this release, Bitcoin Core had a strong preference to try to connect only to peers that listen on port 8333. As a result of that, Bitcoin nodes listening on non-standard ports would likely not get any Bitcoin Core peers connecting to them. This preference has been removed. (#23542)
- Full support has been added for the CJDNS network. See the new option `-cjdnsreachable` and [doc/cjdns.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/23.x/doc/cjdns.md) (#23077)
Fee estimation changes
----------------------
- Fee estimation now takes the feerate of replacement (RBF) transactions into
account. (#22539)
Rescan startup parameter removed
--------------------------------
The `-rescan` startup parameter has been removed. Wallets which require
rescanning due to corruption will still be rescanned on startup.
Otherwise, please use the `rescanblockchain` RPC to trigger a rescan. (#23123)
Tracepoints and Userspace, Statically Defined Tracing support
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bitcoin Core release binaries for Linux now include experimental tracepoints which
act as an interface for process-internal events. These can be used for review,
debugging, monitoring, and more. The tracepoint API is semi-stable. While the API
is tested, process internals might change between releases requiring changes to the
tracepoints. Information about the existing tracepoints can be found under
[doc/tracing.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/23.x/doc/tracing.md) and
usage examples are provided in [contrib/tracing/](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/23.x/contrib/tracing).
Updated RPCs
------------
- The `validateaddress` RPC now returns an `error_locations` array for invalid
addresses, with the indices of invalid character locations in the address (if
known). For example, this will attempt to locate up to two Bech32 errors, and
return their locations if successful. Success and correctness are only guaranteed
if fewer than two substitution errors have been made.
The error message returned in the `error` field now also returns more specific
errors when decoding fails. (#16807)
- The `-deprecatedrpc=addresses` configuration option has been removed. RPCs
`gettxout`, `getrawtransaction`, `decoderawtransaction`, `decodescript`,
`gettransaction verbose=true` and REST endpoints `/rest/tx`, `/rest/getutxos`,
`/rest/block` no longer return the `addresses` and `reqSigs` fields, which
were previously deprecated in 22.0. (#22650)
- The `getblock` RPC command now supports verbosity level 3 containing transaction inputs'
`prevout` information. The existing `/rest/block/` REST endpoint is modified to contain
this information too. Every `vin` field will contain an additional `prevout` subfield
describing the spent output. `prevout` contains the following keys:
- `generated` - true if the spent coins was a coinbase.
- `height`
- `value`
- `scriptPubKey`
- The top-level fee fields `fee`, `modifiedfee`, `ancestorfees` and `descendantfees`
returned by RPCs `getmempoolentry`,`getrawmempool(verbose=true)`,
`getmempoolancestors(verbose=true)` and `getmempooldescendants(verbose=true)`
are deprecated and will be removed in the next major version (use
`-deprecated=fees` if needed in this version). The same fee fields can be accessed
through the `fees` object in the result. WARNING: deprecated
fields `ancestorfees` and `descendantfees` are denominated in sats, whereas all
fields in the `fees` object are denominated in BTC. (#22689)
- Both `createmultisig` and `addmultisigaddress` now include a `warnings`
field, which will show a warning if a non-legacy address type is requested
when using uncompressed public keys. (#23113)
Changes to wallet related RPCs can be found in the Wallet section below.
New RPCs
--------
- Information on soft fork status has been moved from `getblockchaininfo`
to the new `getdeploymentinfo` RPC which allows querying soft fork status at any
block, rather than just at the chain tip. Inclusion of soft fork
status in `getblockchaininfo` can currently be restored using the
configuration `-deprecatedrpc=softforks`, but this will be removed in
a future release. Note that in either case, the `status` field
now reflects the status of the current block rather than the next
block. (#23508)
Files
-----
* On startup, the list of banned hosts and networks (via `setban` RPC) in
`banlist.dat` is ignored and only `banlist.json` is considered. Bitcoin Core
version 22.x is the only version that can read `banlist.dat` and also write
it to `banlist.json`. If `banlist.json` already exists, version 22.x will not
try to translate the `banlist.dat` into json. After an upgrade, `listbanned`
can be used to double check the parsed entries. (#22570)
Updated settings
----------------
- In previous releases, the meaning of the command line option
`-persistmempool` (without a value provided) incorrectly disabled mempool
persistence. `-persistmempool` is now treated like other boolean options to
mean `-persistmempool=1`. Passing `-persistmempool=0`, `-persistmempool=1`
and `-nopersistmempool` is unaffected. (#23061)
- `-maxuploadtarget` now allows human readable byte units [k|K|m|M|g|G|t|T].
E.g. `-maxuploadtarget=500g`. No whitespace, +- or fractions allowed.
Default is `M` if no suffix provided. (#23249)
- If `-proxy=` is given together with `-noonion` then the provided proxy will
not be set as a proxy for reaching the Tor network. So it will not be
possible to open manual connections to the Tor network for example with the
`addnode` RPC. To mimic the old behavior use `-proxy=` together with
`-onlynet=` listing all relevant networks except `onion`. (#22834)
Tools and Utilities
-------------------
- Update `-getinfo` to return data in a user-friendly format that also reduces vertical space. (#21832)
- CLI `-addrinfo` now returns a single field for the number of `onion` addresses
known to the node instead of separate `torv2` and `torv3` fields, as support
for Tor V2 addresses was removed from Bitcoin Core in 22.0. (#22544)
Wallet
------
- Descriptor wallets are now the default wallet type. Newly created wallets
will use descriptors unless `descriptors=false` is set during `createwallet`, or
the `Descriptor wallet` checkbox is unchecked in the GUI.
Note that wallet RPC commands like `importmulti` and `dumpprivkey` cannot be
used with descriptor wallets, so if your client code relies on these commands
without specifying `descriptors=false` during wallet creation, you will need
to update your code.
- Newly created descriptor wallets will contain an automatically generated `tr()`
descriptor which allows for creating single key Taproot receiving addresses.
- `upgradewallet` will now automatically flush the keypool if upgrading
from a non-HD wallet to an HD wallet, to immediately start using the
newly-generated HD keys. (#23093)
- a new RPC `newkeypool` has been added, which will flush (entirely
clear and refill) the keypool. (#23093)
- `listunspent` now includes `ancestorcount`, `ancestorsize`, and
`ancestorfees` for each transaction output that is still in the mempool.
(#12677)
- `lockunspent` now optionally takes a third parameter, `persistent`, which
causes the lock to be written persistently to the wallet database. This
allows UTXOs to remain locked even after node restarts or crashes. (#23065)
- `receivedby` RPCs now include coinbase transactions. Previously, the
following wallet RPCs excluded coinbase transactions: `getreceivedbyaddress`,
`getreceivedbylabel`, `listreceivedbyaddress`, `listreceivedbylabel`. This
release changes this behaviour and returns results accounting for received
coins from coinbase outputs. The previous behaviour can be restored using the
configuration `-deprecatedrpc=exclude_coinbase`, but may be removed in a
future release. (#14707)
- A new option in the same `receivedby` RPCs, `include_immature_coinbase`
(default=`false`), determines whether to account for immature coinbase
transactions. Immature coinbase transactions are coinbase transactions that
have 100 or fewer confirmations, and are not spendable. (#14707)
GUI changes
-----------
- UTXOs which are locked via the GUI are now stored persistently in the
wallet database, so are not lost on node shutdown or crash. (#23065)
- The Bech32 checkbox has been replaced with a dropdown for all address types, including the new Bech32m (BIP-350) standard for Taproot enabled wallets.
Low-level changes
=================
RPC
---
- `getblockchaininfo` now returns a new `time` field, that provides the chain tip time. (#22407)
Tests
-----
- For the `regtest` network the activation heights of several softforks were
set to block height 1. They can be changed by the runtime setting
`-testactivationheight=name@height`. (#22818)

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.13.2.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.13.2 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.13.2/>
This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and
performance improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

Compatibility
==============
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
an OS initially released in 2001. This means that not even critical security
updates will be released anymore. Without security updates, using a bitcoin
wallet on a XP machine is irresponsible at least.
In addition to that, with 0.12.x there have been varied reports of Bitcoin Core
randomly crashing on Windows XP. It is [not clear](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681#issuecomment-217439891)
what the source of these crashes is, but it is likely that upstream
libraries such as Qt are no longer being tested on XP.
We do not have time nor resources to provide support for an OS that is
end-of-life. From 0.13.0 on, Windows XP is no longer supported. Users are
suggested to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, or install an alternative OS
that is supported.
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP,
you can still do so at your own risk, but do not expect it to work: do not
report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
From 0.13.1 onwards OS X 10.7 is no longer supported. 0.13.0 was intended to work on 10.7+,
but severe issues with the libc++ version on 10.7.x keep it from running reliably.
0.13.1 now requires 10.8+, and will communicate that to 10.7 users, rather than crashing unexpectedly.
Notable changes
===============
Change to wallet handling of mempool rejection
-----------------------------------------------
When a newly created transaction failed to enter the mempool due to
the limits on chains of unconfirmed transactions the sending RPC
calls would return an error. The transaction would still be queued
in the wallet and, once some of the parent transactions were
confirmed, broadcast after the software was restarted.
This behavior has been changed to return success and to reattempt
mempool insertion at the same time transaction rebroadcast is
attempted, avoiding a need for a restart.
Transactions in the wallet which cannot be accepted into the mempool
can be abandoned with the previously existing abandontransaction RPC
(or in the GUI via a context menu on the transaction).

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-22.1.md | 22.1 Release Notes
==================
Bitcoin Core version 22.1 is now available from:
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-22.1/>
This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance
improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
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 in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS)
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.14+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.
From Bitcoin Core 22.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.14 are no longer supported.
Notable changes
===============
Updated settings
----------------
- In previous releases, the meaning of the command line option
`-persistmempool` (without a value provided) incorrectly disabled mempool
persistence. `-persistmempool` is now treated like other boolean options to
mean `-persistmempool=1`. Passing `-persistmempool=0`, `-persistmempool=1`
and `-nopersistmempool` is unaffected. (#23061)
### P2P
### RPC and other APIs
- #25237 rpc: Capture UniValue by ref for rpcdoccheck
- #25983 Prevent data race for pathHandlers
- #26275 Fix crash on deriveaddresses when index is 2147483647 (2^31-1)
### Wallet
- #22781 wallet: fix the behavior of IsHDEnabled
- #22949 fee: Round up fee calculation to avoid a lower than expected feerate
- #23333 wallet: fix segfault by avoiding invalid default-ctored external_spk_managers entry
### Build system
- #22820 build, qt: Fix typo in QtInputSupport check
- #23045 build: Restrict check for CRC32C intrinsic to aarch64
- #23148 build: Fix guix linker-loader path and add check_ELF_interpreter
- #23314 build: explicitly disable libsecp256k1 openssl based tests
- #23580 build: patch qt to explicitly define previously implicit header include
- #24215 guix: ignore additional failing certvalidator test
- #24256 build: Bump depends packages (zmq, libXau)
- #25201 windeploy: Renewed windows code signing certificate
- #25985 Revert "build: Use Homebrew's sqlite package if it is available"
- #26633 depends: update qt 5.12 url to archive location
### GUI
- #gui631 Disallow encryption of watchonly wallets
- #gui680 Fixes MacOS 13 segfault by preventing certain notifications
- #24498 qt: Avoid crash on startup if int specified in settings.json
### Tests
- #23716 test: replace hashlib.ripemd160 with an own implementation
- #24239 test: fix ceildiv division by using integers
### Utilities
- #22390 system: skip trying to set the locale on NetBSD
- #22895 don't call GetBlockPos in ReadBlockFromDisk without cs_main lock
- #24104 fs: Make compatible with boost 1.78
### Miscellaneous
- #23335 refactor: include a missing <limits> header in fs.cpp
- #23504 ci: Replace soon EOL hirsute with jammy

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.3.20.2.md | The maxsendbuffer bug (0.3.20.1 clients not being able to download the block chain from other 0.3.20.1 clients) was only going to get
worse as people upgraded, so I cherry-picked the bug fix and created a minor release yesterday.
The Amazon Machine Images I used to do the builds are available:
ami-38a05251 Bitcoin-v0.3.20.2 Mingw (Windows; Administrator password 'bitcoin development')
ami-30a05259 Bitcoin_0.3.20.2 Linux32
ami-8abc4ee3 Bitcoin_0.3.20.2 Linux64
(mac build will be done soon)
If you have already downloaded version 0.3.20.1, please either add this to your bitcoin.conf file:
maxsendbuffer=10000
maxreceivebuffer=10000
... or download the new version.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.3.18.md | Changes:
* Fixed a wallet.dat compatibility problem if you downgraded from 0.3.17 and then upgraded again
* IsStandard() check to only include known transaction types in blocks
* Jgarzik's optimisation to speed up the initial block download a little
The main addition in this release is the Accounts-Based JSON-RPC commands that Gavin's been working on (more details at http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=1886.0).
* getaccountaddress
* sendfrom
* move
* getbalance

This is a new minor version release, bringing bug fixes and translation
updates. It is recommended to upgrade to this version.

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
===============
This is a minor release and hence there are no notable changes.
For the notable changes in 0.10, refer to the release notes for the

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.11.0.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.11.0 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.11.0/>
This is a new major version release, bringing both new features and
bug fixes.
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. There are no
known problems when downgrading from 0.11.x to 0.10.x.
Important information
======================
Transaction flooding
---------------------
At the time of this release, the P2P network is being flooded with low-fee
transactions. This causes a ballooning of the mempool size.
If this growth of the mempool causes problematic memory use on your node, it is
possible to change a few configuration options to work around this. The growth
of the mempool can be monitored with the RPC command `getmempoolinfo`.
One is to increase the minimum transaction relay fee `minrelaytxfee`, which
defaults to 0.00001. This will cause transactions with fewer BTC/kB fee to be
rejected, and thus fewer transactions entering the mempool.
The other is to restrict the relaying of free transactions with
`limitfreerelay`. This option sets the number of kB/minute at which
free transactions (with enough priority) will be accepted. It defaults to 15.
Reducing this number reduces the speed at which the mempool can grow due
to free transactions.
For example, add the following to `bitcoin.conf`:
minrelaytxfee=0.00005
limitfreerelay=5
More robust solutions are being worked on for a follow-up release.
Notable changes
===============
Block file pruning
----------------------
This release supports running a fully validating node without maintaining a copy
of the raw block and undo data on disk. To recap, there are four types of data
related to the blockchain in the bitcoin system: the raw blocks as received over
the network (blk???.dat), the undo data (rev???.dat), the block index and the
UTXO set (both LevelDB databases). The databases are built from the raw data.
Block pruning allows Bitcoin Core to delete the raw block and undo data once
it's been validated and used to build the databases. At that point, the raw data
is used only to relay blocks to other nodes, to handle reorganizations, to look
up old transactions (if -txindex is enabled or via the RPC/REST interfaces), or
for rescanning the wallet. The block index continues to hold the metadata about
all blocks in the blockchain.
The user specifies how much space to allot for block & undo files. The minimum
allowed is 550MB. Note that this is in addition to whatever is required for the
block index and UTXO databases. The minimum was chosen so that Bitcoin Core will
be able to maintain at least 288 blocks on disk (two days worth of blocks at 10
minutes per block). In rare instances it is possible that the amount of space
used will exceed the pruning target in order to keep the required last 288
blocks on disk.
Block pruning works during initial sync in the same way as during steady state,
by deleting block files "as you go" whenever disk space is allocated. Thus, if
the user specifies 550MB, once that level is reached the program will begin
deleting the oldest block and undo files, while continuing to download the
blockchain.
For now, block pruning disables block relay. In the future, nodes with block
pruning will at a minimum relay "new" blocks, meaning blocks that extend their
active chain.
Block pruning is currently incompatible with running a wallet due to the fact
that block data is used for rescanning the wallet and importing keys or
addresses (which require a rescan.) However, running the wallet with block
pruning will be supported in the near future, subject to those limitations.
Block pruning is also incompatible with -txindex and will automatically disable
it.
Once you have pruned blocks, going back to unpruned state requires
re-downloading the entire blockchain. To do this, re-start the node with
-reindex. Note also that any problem that would cause a user to reindex (e.g.,
disk corruption) will cause a pruned node to redownload the entire blockchain.
Finally, note that when a pruned node reindexes, it will delete any blk???.dat
and rev???.dat files in the data directory prior to restarting the download.
To enable block pruning on the command line:
- `-prune=N`: where N is the number of MB to allot for raw block & undo data.
Modified RPC calls:
- `getblockchaininfo` now includes whether we are in pruned mode or not.
- `getblock` will check if the block's data has been pruned and if so, return an
error.
- `getrawtransaction` will no longer be able to locate a transaction that has a
UTXO but where its block file has been pruned.
Pruning is disabled by default.
Big endian support
--------------------
Experimental support for big-endian CPU architectures was added in this
release. All little-endian specific code was replaced with endian-neutral
constructs. This has been tested on at least MIPS and PPC hosts. The build
system will automatically detect the endianness of the target.
Memory usage optimization
--------------------------
There have been many changes in this release to reduce the default memory usage
of a node, among which:
- Accurate UTXO cache size accounting (#6102); this makes the option `-dbcache`
precise where this grossly underestimated memory usage before
- Reduce size of per-peer data structure (#6064 and others); this increases the
number of connections that can be supported with the same amount of memory
- Reduce the number of threads (#5964, #5679); lowers the amount of (esp.
virtual) memory needed
Fee estimation changes
----------------------
This release improves the algorithm used for fee estimation. Previously, -1
was returned when there was insufficient data to give an estimate. Now, -1
will also be returned when there is no fee or priority high enough for the
desired confirmation target. In those cases, it can help to ask for an estimate
for a higher target number of blocks. It is not uncommon for there to be no
fee or priority high enough to be reliably (85%) included in the next block and
for this reason, the default for `-txconfirmtarget=n` has changed from 1 to 2.
Privacy: Disable wallet transaction broadcast
----------------------------------------------
This release adds an option `-walletbroadcast=0` to prevent automatic
transaction broadcast and rebroadcast (#5951). This option allows separating
transaction submission from the node functionality.
Making use of this, third-party scripts can be written to take care of
transaction (re)broadcast:
- Send the transaction as normal, either through RPC or the GUI
- Retrieve the transaction data through RPC using `gettransaction` (NOT
`getrawtransaction`). The `hex` field of the result will contain the raw
hexadecimal representation of the transaction
- The transaction can then be broadcasted through arbitrary mechanisms
supported by the script
One such application is selective Tor usage, where the node runs on the normal
internet but transactions are broadcasted over Tor.
For an example script see [bitcoin-submittx](https://github.com/laanwj/bitcoin-submittx).
Privacy: Stream isolation for Tor
----------------------------------
This release adds functionality to create a new circuit for every peer
connection, when the software is used with Tor. The new option,
`-proxyrandomize`, is on by default.
When enabled, every outgoing connection will (potentially) go through a
different exit node. That significantly reduces the chance to get unlucky and
pick a single exit node that is either malicious, or widely banned from the P2P
network. This improves connection reliability as well as privacy, especially
for the initial connections.
**Important note:** If a non-Tor SOCKS5 proxy is configured that supports
authentication, but doesn't require it, this change may cause that proxy to reject
connections. A user and password is sent where they weren't before. This setup
is exceedingly rare, but in this case `-proxyrandomize=0` can be passed to
disable the behavior.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.3.19.md | There's more work to do on DoS, but I'm doing a quick build of what I have so far in case it's needed, before venturing into more complex ideas. The build for this is version 0.3.19.
- Added some DoS controls
As Gavin and I have said clearly before, the software is not at all resistant to DoS attack. This is one improvement, but there are still more ways to attack than I can count.
I'm leaving the -limitfreerelay part as a switch for now and it's there if you need it.
- Removed "safe mode" alerts
"safe mode" alerts was a temporary measure after the 0.3.9 overflow bug. We can say all we want that users can just run with "-disablesafemode", but it's better just not to have it for the sake of appearances. It was never intended as a long term feature. Safe mode can still be triggered by seeing a longer (greater total PoW) invalid block chain.

https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.10.0/
This is a new major version release, bringing both new features and
bug fixes.
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).
Downgrading warning
---------------------
Because release 0.10.0 makes use of headers-first synchronization and parallel
block download (see further), the block files and databases are not
backwards-compatible with older 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
===============
Faster synchronization
----------------------
Bitcoin Core now uses 'headers-first synchronization'. This means that we first
ask peers for block headers (a total of 27 megabytes, as of December 2014) and
validate those. In a second stage, when the headers have been discovered, we
download the blocks. However, as we already know about the whole chain in
advance, the blocks can be downloaded in parallel from all available peers.
In practice, this means a much faster and more robust synchronization. On
recent hardware with a decent network link, it can be as little as 3 hours
for an initial full synchronization. You may notice a slower progress in the
very first few minutes, when headers are still being fetched and verified, but
it should gain speed afterwards.
A few RPCs were added/updated as a result of this:
- `getblockchaininfo` now returns the number of validated headers in addition to
the number of validated blocks.
- `getpeerinfo` lists both the number of blocks and headers we know we have in
common with each peer. While synchronizing, the heights of the blocks that we
have requested from peers (but haven't received yet) are also listed as
'inflight'.
- A new RPC `getchaintips` lists all known branches of the block chain,
including those we only have headers for.
Transaction fee changes
-----------------------
This release automatically estimates how high a transaction fee (or how
high a priority) transactions require to be confirmed quickly. The default
settings will create transactions that confirm quickly; see the new
'txconfirmtarget' setting to control the tradeoff between fees and
confirmation times. Fees are added by default unless the 'sendfreetransactions'
setting is enabled.
Prior releases used hard-coded fees (and priorities), and would
sometimes create transactions that took a very long time to confirm.
Statistics used to estimate fees and priorities are saved in the
data directory in the `fee_estimates.dat` file just before
program shutdown, and are read in at startup.
New command line options for transaction fee changes:
- `-txconfirmtarget=n` : create transactions that have enough fees (or priority)
so they are likely to begin confirmation within n blocks (default: 1). This setting
is over-ridden by the -paytxfee option.
- `-sendfreetransactions` : Send transactions as zero-fee transactions if possible
(default: 0)
New RPC commands for fee estimation:
- `estimatefee nblocks` : Returns approximate fee-per-1,000-bytes needed for
a transaction to begin confirmation within nblocks. Returns -1 if not enough
transactions have been observed to compute a good estimate.
- `estimatepriority nblocks` : Returns approximate priority needed for
a zero-fee transaction to begin confirmation within nblocks. Returns -1 if not
enough free transactions have been observed to compute a good
estimate.
RPC access control changes
--------------------------
Subnet matching for the purpose of access control is now done
by matching the binary network address, instead of with string wildcard matching.
For the user this means that `-rpcallowip` takes a subnet specification, which can be
- a single IP address (e.g. `1.2.3.4` or `fe80::0012:3456:789a:bcde`)
- a network/CIDR (e.g. `1.2.3.0/24` or `fe80::0000/64`)
- a network/netmask (e.g. `1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0` or `fe80::0012:3456:789a:bcde/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff`)
An arbitrary number of `-rpcallow` arguments can be given. An incoming connection will be accepted if its origin address
matches one of them.
For example:
| 0.9.x and before | 0.10.x |
|--------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
| `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.1` | `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.1` (unchanged) |
| `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.*` | `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.0/24` |
| `-rpcallowip=192.168.*` | `-rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/16` |
| `-rpcallowip=*` (dangerous!) | `-rpcallowip=::/0` (still dangerous!) |
Using wildcards will result in the rule being rejected with the following error in debug.log:
Error: Invalid -rpcallowip subnet specification: *. Valid are a single IP (e.g. 1.2.3.4), a network/netmask (e.g. 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0) or a network/CIDR (e.g. 1.2.3.4/24).
REST interface
--------------
A new HTTP API is exposed when running with the `-rest` flag, which allows
unauthenticated access to public node data.
It is served on the same port as RPC, but does not need a password, and uses
plain HTTP instead of JSON-RPC.
Assuming a local RPC server running on port 8332, it is possible to request:
- Blocks: http://localhost:8332/rest/block/*HASH*.*EXT*
- Blocks without transactions: http://localhost:8332/rest/block/notxdetails/*HASH*.*EXT*
- Transactions (requires `-txindex`): http://localhost:8332/rest/tx/*HASH*.*EXT*
In every case, *EXT* can be `bin` (for raw binary data), `hex` (for hex-encoded
binary) or `json`.
For more details, see the `doc/REST-interface.md` document in the repository.
RPC Server "Warm-Up" Mode
-------------------------
The RPC server is started earlier now, before most of the expensive
intialisations like loading the block index. It is available now almost
immediately after starting the process. However, until all initialisations
are done, it always returns an immediate error with code -28 to all calls.
This new behaviour can be useful for clients to know that a server is already
started and will be available soon (for instance, so that they do not
have to start it themselves).
Improved signing security
-------------------------
For 0.10 the security of signing against unusual attacks has been
improved by making the signatures constant time and deterministic.
This change is a result of switching signing to use libsecp256k1
instead of OpenSSL. Libsecp256k1 is a cryptographic library
optimized for the curve Bitcoin uses which was created by Bitcoin
Core developer Pieter Wuille.
There exist attacks[1] against most ECC implementations where an
attacker on shared virtual machine hardware could extract a private
key if they could cause a target to sign using the same key hundreds
of times. While using shared hosts and reusing keys are inadvisable
for other reasons, it's a better practice to avoid the exposure.
OpenSSL has code in their source repository for derandomization
and reduction in timing leaks that we've eagerly wanted to use for a
long time, but this functionality has still not made its
way into a released version of OpenSSL. Libsecp256k1 achieves
significantly stronger protection: As far as we're aware this is
the only deployed implementation of constant time signing for
the curve Bitcoin uses and we have reason to believe that
libsecp256k1 is better tested and more thoroughly reviewed
than the implementation in OpenSSL.

Watch-only wallet support
-------------------------
The wallet can now track transactions to and from wallets for which you know
all addresses (or scripts), even without the private keys.
This can be used to track payments without needing the private keys online on a
possibly vulnerable system. In addition, it can help for (manual) construction
of multisig transactions where you are only one of the signers.
One new RPC, `importaddress`, is added which functions similarly to
`importprivkey`, but instead takes an address or script (in hexadecimal) as
argument. After using it, outputs credited to this address or script are
considered to be received, and transactions consuming these outputs will be
considered to be sent.
The following RPCs have optional support for watch-only:
`getbalance`, `listreceivedbyaddress`, `listreceivedbyaccount`,
`listtransactions`, `listaccounts`, `listsinceblock`, `gettransaction`. See the
RPC documentation for those methods for more information.
Compared to using `getrawtransaction`, this mechanism does not require
`-txindex`, scales better, integrates better with the wallet, and is compatible
with future block chain pruning functionality. It does mean that all relevant
addresses need to added to the wallet before the payment, though.
Consensus library
-----------------
Starting from 0.10.0, the Bitcoin Core distribution includes a consensus library.
The purpose of this library is to make the verification functionality that is
critical to Bitcoin's consensus available to other applications, e.g. to language
bindings such as [python-bitcoinlib](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-bitcoinlib) or
alternative node implementations.
This library is called `libbitcoinconsensus.so` (or, `.dll` for Windows).
Its interface is defined in the C header [bitcoinconsensus.h](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/0.10/src/script/bitcoinconsensus.h).
In its initial version the API includes two functions:
- `bitcoinconsensus_verify_script` verifies a script. It returns whether the indicated input of the provided serialized transaction
correctly spends the passed scriptPubKey under additional constraints indicated by flags
- `bitcoinconsensus_version` returns the API version, currently at an experimental `0`
The functionality is planned to be extended to e.g. UTXO management in upcoming releases, but the interface
for existing methods should remain stable.
Standard script rules relaxed for P2SH addresses
------------------------------------------------
The IsStandard() rules have been almost completely removed for P2SH
redemption scripts, allowing applications to make use of any valid
script type, such as "n-of-m OR y", hash-locked oracle addresses, etc.
While the Bitcoin protocol has always supported these types of script,
actually using them on mainnet has been previously inconvenient as
standard Bitcoin Core nodes wouldn't relay them to miners, nor would
most miners include them in blocks they mined.
bitcoin-tx
----------
It has been observed that many of the RPC functions offered by bitcoind are
"pure functions", and operate independently of the bitcoind wallet. This
included many of the RPC "raw transaction" API functions, such as
createrawtransaction.
bitcoin-tx is a newly introduced command line utility designed to enable easy
manipulation of bitcoin transactions. A summary of its operation may be
obtained via "bitcoin-tx --help" Transactions may be created or signed in a
manner similar to the RPC raw tx API. Transactions may be updated, deleting
inputs or outputs, or appending new inputs and outputs. Custom scripts may be
easily composed using a simple text notation, borrowed from the bitcoin test
suite.
This tool may be used for experimenting with new transaction types, signing
multi-party transactions, and many other uses. Long term, the goal is to
deprecate and remove "pure function" RPC API calls, as those do not require a
server round-trip to execute.
Other utilities "bitcoin-key" and "bitcoin-script" have been proposed, making
key and script operations easily accessible via command line.
Mining and relay policy enhancements
------------------------------------
Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining
software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use
libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward.
If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin
Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status.
If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you.
If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect
you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66
achieving its 951/1001 status.
The `prioritisetransaction` RPC method has been added to enable miners to
manipulate the priority of transactions on an individual basis.
Bitcoin Core now supports BIP 22 long polling, so mining software can be
notified immediately of new templates rather than having to poll periodically.
Support for BIP 23 block proposals is now available in Bitcoin Core's
`getblocktemplate` method. This enables miners to check the basic validity of
their next block before expending work on it, reducing risks of accidental
hardforks or mining invalid blocks.
Two new options to control mining policy:
- `-datacarrier=0/1` : Relay and mine "data carrier" (OP_RETURN) transactions
if this is 1.
- `-datacarriersize=n` : Maximum size, in bytes, we consider acceptable for
"data carrier" outputs.
The relay policy has changed to more properly implement the desired behavior of not
relaying free (or very low fee) transactions unless they have a priority above the
AllowFreeThreshold(), in which case they are relayed subject to the rate limiter.
BIP 66: strict DER encoding for signatures
------------------------------------------
Bitcoin Core 0.10 implements BIP 66, which introduces block version 3, and a new
consensus rule, which prohibits non-DER signatures. Such transactions have been
non-standard since Bitcoin v0.8.0 (released in February 2013), but were
technically still permitted inside blocks.
This change breaks the dependency on OpenSSL's signature parsing, and is
required if implementations would want to remove all of OpenSSL from the
consensus code.
The same miner-voting mechanism as in BIP 34 is used: when 751 out of a
sequence of 1001 blocks have version number 3 or higher, the new consensus
rule becomes active for those blocks. When 951 out of a sequence of 1001
blocks have version number 3 or higher, it becomes mandatory for all blocks.
Backward compatibility with current mining software is NOT provided, thus miners
should read the first paragraph of "Mining and relay policy enhancements" above.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.11.1.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.11.1 is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.11.1/>
This is a new minor version release, bringing security fixes. It is recommended
to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
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. There are no
known problems when downgrading from 0.11.x to 0.10.x.
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.

Marcin Andrychowicz, Stefan Dziembowski, Daniel Malinowski, Łukasz Mazurek
http://fc15.ifca.ai/preproceedings/bitcoin/paper_9.pdf
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
release notes, in which this value was suggested)

<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
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 in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS)
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.15+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.

Notable changes since 0.10.3
============================
BIP65 soft fork to enforce OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcode
--------------------------------------------------------
This release includes several changes related to the [BIP65][] soft fork
which redefines the existing OP_NOP2 opcode as OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY
(CLTV) so that a transaction output can be made unspendable until a
specified point in the future.
1. This release will only relay and mine transactions spending a CLTV
output if they comply with the BIP65 rules as provided in code.
2. This release will produce version 4 blocks by default. Please see the
*notice to miners* below.
3. Once 951 out of a sequence of 1,001 blocks on the local node's best block
chain contain version 4 (or higher) blocks, this release will no
longer accept new version 3 blocks and it will only accept version 4
blocks if they comply with the BIP65 rules for CLTV.
For more information about the soft-forking change, please see
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6351>
Graphs showing the progress towards block version 4 adoption may be
found at the URLs below:
- Block versions over the last 50,000 blocks as progress towards BIP65
consensus enforcement: <http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-50k.png>
- Block versions over the last 2,000 blocks showing the days to the
earliest possible BIP65 consensus-enforced block: <http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-2k.png>
**Notice to miners:** Bitcoin Core’s block templates are now for
version 4 blocks only, and any mining software relying on its
getblocktemplate must be updated in parallel to use libblkmaker either
version FIXME or any version from FIXME onward.
- If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade
Bitcoin Core, which must be done prior to BIP65 achieving its 951/1001
status.
- If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not
affect you.
- If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this
will affect you at the pool operator’s discretion, which must be no
later than BIP65 achieving its 951/1001 status.

Windows bug fix for corrupted UTXO database on unclean shutdowns
----------------------------------------------------------------
Several Windows users reported that they often need to reindex the
entire blockchain after an unclean shutdown of Bitcoin Core on Windows
(or an unclean shutdown of Windows itself). Although unclean shutdowns
remain unsafe, this release no longer relies on memory-mapped files for
the UTXO database, which significantly reduced the frequency of unclean
shutdowns leading to required reindexes during testing.
For more information, see: <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6917>
Other fixes for database corruption on Windows are expected in the
next major release.

==================
Bitcoin Core version 22.0 is now available from:
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-22.0/>
This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance
improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
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 in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.14+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.
From Bitcoin Core 22.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.14 are no longer supported.
Notable changes
===============
P2P and network changes
-----------------------
- Added support for running Bitcoin Core as an
[I2P (Invisible Internet Project)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P) service
and connect to such services. See [i2p.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/22.x/doc/i2p.md) for details. (#20685)
- This release removes support for Tor version 2 hidden services in favor of Tor
v3 only, as the Tor network [dropped support for Tor
v2](https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline) with the release of
Tor version 0.4.6. Henceforth, Bitcoin Core ignores Tor v2 addresses; it
neither rumors them over the network to other peers, nor stores them in memory
or to `peers.dat`. (#22050)
- Added NAT-PMP port mapping support via
[`libnatpmp`](https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/libnatpmp.html). (#18077)
New and Updated RPCs
--------------------
- Due to [BIP 350](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0350.mediawiki)
being implemented, behavior for all RPCs that accept addresses is changed when
a native witness version 1 (or higher) is passed. These now require a Bech32m
encoding instead of a Bech32 one, and Bech32m encoding will be used for such
addresses in RPC output as well. No version 1 addresses should be created
for mainnet until consensus rules are adopted that give them meaning
(as will happen through [BIP 341](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki)).
Once that happens, Bech32m is expected to be used for them, so this shouldn't
affect any production systems, but may be observed on other networks where such
addresses already have meaning (like signet). (#20861)
- The `getpeerinfo` RPC returns two new boolean fields, `bip152_hb_to` and
`bip152_hb_from`, that respectively indicate whether we selected a peer to be
in compact blocks high-bandwidth mode or whether a peer selected us as a
compact blocks high-bandwidth peer. High-bandwidth peers send new block
announcements via a `cmpctblock` message rather than the usual inv/headers
announcements. See BIP 152 for more details. (#19776)
- `getpeerinfo` no longer returns the following fields: `addnode`, `banscore`,
and `whitelisted`, which were previously deprecated in 0.21. Instead of
`addnode`, the `connection_type` field returns manual. Instead of
`whitelisted`, the `permissions` field indicates if the peer has special
privileges. The `banscore` field has simply been removed. (#20755)
- The following RPCs: `gettxout`, `getrawtransaction`, `decoderawtransaction`,
`decodescript`, `gettransaction`, and REST endpoints: `/rest/tx`,
`/rest/getutxos`, `/rest/block` deprecated the following fields (which are no
longer returned in the responses by default): `addresses`, `reqSigs`.
The `-deprecatedrpc=addresses` flag must be passed for these fields to be
included in the RPC response. This flag/option will be available only for this major release, after which
the deprecation will be removed entirely. Note that these fields are attributes of
the `scriptPubKey` object returned in the RPC response. However, in the response
of `decodescript` these fields are top-level attributes, and included again as attributes
of the `scriptPubKey` object. (#20286)
- When creating a hex-encoded bitcoin transaction using the `bitcoin-tx` utility
with the `-json` option set, the following fields: `addresses`, `reqSigs` are no longer
returned in the tx output of the response. (#20286)
- The `listbanned` RPC now returns two new numeric fields: `ban_duration` and `time_remaining`.
Respectively, these new fields indicate the duration of a ban and the time remaining until a ban expires,
both in seconds. Additionally, the `ban_created` field is repositioned to come before `banned_until`. (#21602)
- The `setban` RPC can ban onion addresses again. This fixes a regression introduced in version 0.21.0. (#20852)
- The `getnodeaddresses` RPC now returns a "network" field indicating the
network type (ipv4, ipv6, onion, or i2p) for each address. (#21594)
- `getnodeaddresses` now also accepts a "network" argument (ipv4, ipv6, onion,
or i2p) to return only addresses of the specified network. (#21843)
- The `testmempoolaccept` RPC now accepts multiple transactions (still experimental at the moment,
API may be unstable). This is intended for testing transaction packages with dependency
relationships; it is not recommended for batch-validating independent transactions. In addition to
mempool policy, package policies apply: the list cannot contain more than 25 transactions or have a
total size exceeding 101K virtual bytes, and cannot conflict with (spend the same inputs as) each other or
the mempool, even if it would be a valid BIP125 replace-by-fee. There are some known limitations to
the accuracy of the test accept: it's possible for `testmempoolaccept` to return "allowed"=True for a
group of transactions, but "too-long-mempool-chain" if they are actually submitted. (#20833)
- `addmultisigaddress` and `createmultisig` now support up to 20 keys for
Segwit addresses. (#20867)
Changes to Wallet or GUI related RPCs can be found in the GUI or Wallet section below.
Build System
------------
- Release binaries are now produced using the new `guix`-based build system.
The [/doc/release-process.md](/doc/release-process.md) document has been updated accordingly.
Files
-----
- The list of banned hosts and networks (via `setban` RPC) is now saved on disk
in JSON format in `banlist.json` instead of `banlist.dat`. `banlist.dat` is
only read on startup if `banlist.json` is not present. Changes are only written to the new
`banlist.json`. A future version of Bitcoin Core may completely ignore
`banlist.dat`. (#20966)
New settings
------------
- The `-natpmp` option has been added to use NAT-PMP to map the listening port.
If both UPnP and NAT-PMP are enabled, a successful allocation from UPnP
prevails over one from NAT-PMP. (#18077)
Updated settings
----------------
Changes to Wallet or GUI related settings can be found in the GUI or Wallet section below.
- Passing an invalid `-rpcauth` argument now cause bitcoind to fail to start. (#20461)
Tools and Utilities
-------------------
- A new CLI `-addrinfo` command returns the number of addresses known to the
node per network type (including Tor v2 versus v3) and total. This can be
useful to see if the node knows enough addresses in a network to use options
like `-onlynet=<network>` or to upgrade to this release of Bitcoin Core 22.0
that supports Tor v3 only. (#21595)
- A new `-rpcwaittimeout` argument to `bitcoin-cli` sets the timeout
in seconds to use with `-rpcwait`. If the timeout expires,
`bitcoin-cli` will report a failure. (#21056)
Wallet
------
- External signers such as hardware wallets can now be used through the new RPC methods `enumeratesigners` and `displayaddress`. Support is also added to the `send` RPC call. This feature is experimental. See [external-signer.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/22.x/doc/external-signer.md) for details. (#16546)
- A new `listdescriptors` RPC is available to inspect the contents of descriptor-enabled wallets.
The RPC returns public versions of all imported descriptors, including their timestamp and flags.
For ranged descriptors, it also returns the range boundaries and the next index to generate addresses from. (#20226)
- The `bumpfee` RPC is not available with wallets that have private keys
disabled. `psbtbumpfee` can be used instead. (#20891)
- The `fundrawtransaction`, `send` and `walletcreatefundedpsbt` RPCs now support an `include_unsafe` option
that when `true` allows using unsafe inputs to fund the transaction.
Note that the resulting transaction may become invalid if one of the unsafe inputs disappears.
If that happens, the transaction must be funded with different inputs and republished. (#21359)
- We now support up to 20 keys in `multi()` and `sortedmulti()` descriptors
under `wsh()`. (#20867)
- Taproot descriptors can be imported into the wallet only after activation has occurred on the network (e.g. mainnet, testnet, signet) in use. See [descriptors.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/22.x/doc/descriptors.md) for supported descriptors.
GUI changes
-----------
- External signers such as hardware wallets can now be used. These require an external tool such as [HWI](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI) to be installed and configured under Options -> Wallet. When creating a new wallet a new option "External signer" will appear in the dialog. If the device is detected, its name is suggested as the wallet name. The watch-only keys are then automatically imported. Receive addresses can be verified on the device. The send dialog will automatically use the connected device. This feature is experimental and the UI may freeze for a few seconds when performing these actions.
Low-level changes
=================
RPC
---
- The RPC server can process a limited number of simultaneous RPC requests.
Previously, if this limit was exceeded, the RPC server would respond with
[status code 500 (`HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#5xx_server_errors).
Now it returns status code 503 (`HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE`). (#18335)
- Error codes have been updated to be more accurate for the following error cases (#18466):
- `signmessage` now returns RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY (-5) if the
passed address is invalid. Previously returned RPC_TYPE_ERROR (-3).
- `verifymessage` now returns RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY (-5) if the
passed address is invalid. Previously returned RPC_TYPE_ERROR (-3).
- `verifymessage` now returns RPC_TYPE_ERROR (-3) if the passed signature
is malformed. Previously returned RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY (-5).

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).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but might take some time if the datadir needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not recommended
to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
as frequently tested on them.
From 0.17.0 onwards, macOS <10.10 is no longer supported. 0.17.0 is
built using Qt 5.9.x, which doesn't support versions of macOS older than
10.10. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance when
macOS "dark mode" is activated.
Users running macOS Catalina may need to "right-click" and then choose "Open"
to open the Bitcoin Core .dmg. This is due to new signing requirements
imposed by Apple, which the Bitcoin Core project does not yet adhere too.
Notable changes
===============
New user documentation
----------------------
- [Reduce memory](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/reduce-memory.md)
suggests configuration tweaks for running Bitcoin Core on systems with
limited memory. (#16339)
New RPCs
--------
- `getbalances` returns an object with all balances (`mine`,
`untrusted_pending` and `immature`). Please refer to the RPC help of
`getbalances` for details. The new RPC is intended to replace
`getbalance`, `getunconfirmedbalance`, and the balance fields in
`getwalletinfo`. These old calls and fields may be removed in a
future version. (#15930, #16239)
- `setwalletflag` sets and unsets wallet flags that enable or disable
features specific to that existing wallet, such as the new
`avoid_reuse` feature documented elsewhere in these release notes.
(#13756)
- `getblockfilter` gets the BIP158 filter for the specified block. This
RPC is only enabled if block filters have been created using the
`-blockfilterindex` configuration option. (#14121)
New settings
------------
- `-blockfilterindex` enables the creation of BIP158 block filters for
the entire blockchain. Filters will be created in the background and
currently use about 4 GiB of space. Note: this version of Bitcoin
Core does not serve block filters over the P2P network, although the
local user may obtain block filters using the `getblockfilter` RPC.
(#14121)
Updated settings
----------------
- `whitebind` and `whitelist` now accept a list of permissions to
provide peers connecting using the indicated interfaces or IP
addresses. If no permissions are specified with an address or CIDR
network, the implicit default permissions are the same as previous
releases. See the `bitcoind -help` output for these two options for
details about the available permissions. (#16248)
- Users setting custom `dbcache` values can increase their setting slightly
without using any more real memory. Recent changes reduced the memory use
by about 9% and made chainstate accounting more accurate (it was underestimating
the use of memory before). For example, if you set a value of "450" before, you
may now set a value of "500" to use about the same real amount of memory. (#16957)
Updated RPCs
------------
Note: some low-level RPC changes mainly useful for testing are described in the
Low-level Changes section below.
- `sendmany` no longer has a `minconf` argument. This argument was not
well-specified and would lead to RPC errors even when the wallet's
coin selection succeeded. Users who want to influence coin selection
can use the existing `-spendzeroconfchange`, `-limitancestorcount`,
`-limitdescendantcount` and `-walletrejectlongchains` configuration
arguments. (#15596)
- `getbalance` and `sendtoaddress`, plus the new RPCs `getbalances` and
`createwallet`, now accept an "avoid_reuse" parameter that controls
whether already used addresses should be included in the operation.
Additionally, `sendtoaddress` will avoid partial spends when
`avoid_reuse` is enabled even if this feature is not already enabled
via the `-avoidpartialspends` command line flag because not doing so
would risk using up the "wrong" UTXO for an address reuse case.
(#13756)
- RPCs which have an `include_watchonly` argument or `includeWatching` option now default to `true` for watch-only
wallets. Affected RPCs are: `getbalance`, `listreceivedbyaddress`, `listreceivedbylabel`, `listtransactions`,
`listsinceblock`, `gettransaction`, `walletcreatefundedpsbt`, and `fundrawtransaction`. (#16383)
- `listunspent` now returns a "reused" bool for each output if the
wallet flag "avoid_reuse" is enabled. (#13756)
- `getblockstats` now uses BlockUndo data instead of the transaction
index, making it much faster, no longer dependent on the `-txindex`
configuration option, and functional for all non-pruned blocks.
(#14802)
- `utxoupdatepsbt` now accepts a `descriptors` parameter that will fill
out input and output scripts and keys when known. P2SH-witness inputs
will be filled in from the UTXO set when a descriptor is provided that
shows they're spending segwit outputs. See the RPC help text for full
details. (#15427)
- `sendrawtransaction` and `testmempoolaccept` no longer accept a
`allowhighfees` parameter to fail mempool acceptance if the
transaction fee exceeds the value of the configuration option
`-maxtxfee`. Now there is a hardcoded default maximum feerate that
can be changed when calling either RPC using a `maxfeerate` parameter.
(#15620)
- `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants`, `getmempoolentry`, and
`getrawmempool` no longer return a `size` field unless the
configuration option `-deprecatedrpc=size` is used. Instead a new
`vsize` field is returned with the transaction's virtual size
(consistent with other RPCs such as `getrawtransaction`). (#15637)
- `getwalletinfo` now includes a `scanning` field that is either `false`
(no scanning) or an object with information about the duration and
progress of the wallet's scanning historical blocks for transactions
affecting its balances. (#15730)
- `gettransaction` now accepts a third (boolean) argument `verbose`. If
set to `true`, a new `decoded` field will be added to the response containing
the decoded transaction. This field is equivalent to RPC `decoderawtransaction`,
or RPC `getrawtransaction` when `verbose` is passed. (#16185, #16866, #16873)
- `createwallet` accepts a new `passphrase` parameter. If set, this
will create the new wallet encrypted with the given passphrase. If
unset (the default) or set to an empty string, no encryption will be
used. (#16394)
- `getchaintxstats` RPC now returns the additional key of
`window_final_block_height`. (#16695)
- `getmempoolentry` now provides a `weight` field containing the
transaction weight as defined in BIP141. (#16647)
- The `getnetworkinfo` and `getpeerinfo` commands now contain a new field with decoded network service flags. (#16786)
- `getdescriptorinfo` now returns an additional `checksum` field
containing the checksum for the unmodified descriptor provided by the
user (that is, before the descriptor is normalized for the
`descriptor` field). (#15986)
- `joinpsbts` now shuffles the order of the inputs and outputs of the resulting
joined PSBT. Previously, inputs and outputs were added in the order PSBTs were
provided. This made it easy to correlate inputs to outputs, representing a
privacy leak. (#16512)
- `walletcreatefundedpsbt` now signals BIP125 Replace-by-Fee if the
`-walletrbf` configuration option is set to true. (#15911)
GUI changes
-----------
- The GUI wallet now provides bech32 addresses by default. The user may change the address type
during invoice generation using a GUI toggle, or the default address
type may be changed with the `-addresstype` configuration option.
(#15711, #16497)
- In 0.18.0, a `./configure` flag was introduced to allow disabling BIP70 support in the GUI (support was enabled by default). In 0.19.0, this flag is now __disabled__ by default. If you want to compile Bitcoin Core with BIP70 support in the GUI, you can pass `--enable-bip70` to `./configure`. (#15584)
Deprecated or removed configuration options
-------------------------------------------
- `-mempoolreplacement` is removed, although default node behavior
remains the same. This option previously allowed the user to prevent
the node from accepting or relaying BIP125 transaction replacements.
This is different from the remaining configuration option
`-walletrbf`. (#16171)
Deprecated or removed RPCs
--------------------------
- `bumpfee` no longer accepts a `totalFee` option unless the
configuration parameter `deprecatedrpc=totalFee` is specified. This
parameter will be fully removed in a subsequent release. (#15996)
- `bumpfee` has a new `fee_rate` option as a replacement for the deprecated `totalFee`. (#16727)
- `generate` is now removed after being deprecated in Bitcoin Core 0.18.
Use the `generatetoaddress` RPC instead. (#15492)
P2P changes
-----------
- BIP 61 reject messages were deprecated in v0.18. They are now disabled
by default, but can be enabled by setting the `-enablebip61` command
line option. BIP 61 reject messages will be removed entirely in a
future version of Bitcoin Core. (#14054)
- To eliminate well-known denial-of-service vectors in Bitcoin Core,
especially for nodes with spinning disks, the default value for the
`-peerbloomfilters` configuration option has been changed to false.
This prevents Bitcoin Core from sending the BIP111 NODE_BLOOM service
flag, accepting BIP37 bloom filters, or serving merkle blocks or
transactions matching a bloom filter. Users who still want to provide
bloom filter support may either set the configuration option to true
to re-enable both BIP111 and BIP37 support or enable just BIP37
support for specific peers using the updated `-whitelist` and
`-whitebind` configuration options described elsewhere in these
release notes. For the near future, lightweight clients using public
BIP111/BIP37 nodes should still be able to connect to older versions
of Bitcoin Core and nodes that have manually enabled BIP37 support,
but developers of such software should consider migrating to either
using specific BIP37 nodes or an alternative transaction filtering
system. (#16152)
- By default, Bitcoin Core will now make two additional outbound connections that are exclusively used for block-relay. No transactions or addr messages will be processed on these connections. These connections are designed to add little additional memory or bandwidth resource requirements but should make some partitioning attacks more difficult to carry out. (#15759)
Miscellaneous CLI Changes
-------------------------
- The `testnet` field in `bitcoin-cli -getinfo` has been renamed to
`chain` and now returns the current network name as defined in BIP70
(main, test, regtest). (#15566)
Low-level changes
=================
RPC
---
- `getblockchaininfo` no longer returns a `bip9_softforks` object.
Instead, information has been moved into the `softforks` object and
an additional `type` field describes how Bitcoin Core determines
whether that soft fork is active (e.g. BIP9 or BIP90). See the RPC
help for details. (#16060)
- `getblocktemplate` no longer returns a `rules` array containing `CSV`
and `segwit` (the BIP9 deployments that are currently in active
state). (#16060)
- `getrpcinfo` now returns a `logpath` field with the path to
`debug.log`. (#15483)
Tests
-----
- The regression test chain enabled by the `-regtest` command line flag
now requires transactions to not violate standard policy by default.
This is the same default used for mainnet and makes it easier to test
mainnet behavior on regtest. Note that the testnet still allows
non-standard txs by default and that the policy can be locally
adjusted with the `-acceptnonstdtxn` command line flag for both test
chains. (#15891)
Configuration
------------
- A setting specified in the default section but not also specified in a
network-specific section (e.g. testnet) will now produce an error
preventing startup instead of just a warning unless the network is
mainnet. This prevents settings intended for mainnet from being
applied to testnet or regtest. (#15629)
- On platforms supporting `thread_local`, log lines can be prefixed with
the name of the thread that caused the log. To enable this behavior,
use `-logthreadnames=1`. (#15849)
Network
-------
- When fetching a transaction announced by multiple peers, previous versions of
Bitcoin Core would sequentially attempt to download the transaction from each
announcing peer until the transaction is received, in the order that those
peers' announcements were received. In this release, the download logic has
changed to randomize the fetch order across peers and to prefer sending
download requests to outbound peers over inbound peers. This fixes an issue
where inbound peers could prevent a node from getting a transaction.
(#14897, #15834)
- If a Tor hidden service is being used, Bitcoin Core will be bound to
the standard port 8333 even if a different port is configured for
clearnet connections. This prevents leaking node identity through use
of identical non-default port numbers. (#15651)
Mempool and transaction relay
-----------------------------
- Allows one extra single-ancestor transaction per package. Previously,
if a transaction in the mempool had 25 descendants, or it and all of
its descendants were over 101,000 vbytes, any newly-received
transaction that was also a descendant would be ignored. Now, one
extra descendant will be allowed provided it is an immediate
descendant (child) and the child's size is 10,000 vbytes or less.
This makes it possible for two-party contract protocols such as
Lightning Network to give each participant an output they can spend
immediately for Child-Pays-For-Parent (CPFP) fee bumping without
allowing one malicious participant to fill the entire package and thus
prevent the other participant from spending their output. (#15681)
- Transactions with outputs paying v1 to v16 witness versions (future
segwit versions) are now accepted into the mempool, relayed, and
mined. Attempting to spend those outputs remains forbidden by policy
("non-standard"). When this change has been widely deployed, wallets
and services can accept any valid bech32 Bitcoin address without
concern that transactions paying future segwit versions will become
stuck in an unconfirmed state. (#15846)
- Legacy transactions (transactions with no segwit inputs) must now be
sent using the legacy encoding format, enforcing the rule specified in
BIP144. (#14039)
Wallet
------
- When in pruned mode, a rescan that was triggered by an `importwallet`,
`importpubkey`, `importaddress`, or `importprivkey` RPC will only fail
when blocks have been pruned. Previously it would fail when `-prune`
has been set. This change allows setting `-prune` to a high value
(e.g. the disk size) without the calls to any of the import RPCs
failing until the first block is pruned. (#15870)
- When creating a transaction with a fee above `-maxtxfee` (default 0.1
BTC), the RPC commands `walletcreatefundedpsbt` and
`fundrawtransaction` will now fail instead of rounding down the fee.
Be aware that the `feeRate` argument is specified in BTC per 1,000
vbytes, not satoshi per vbyte. (#16257)
- A new wallet flag `avoid_reuse` has been added (default off). When
enabled, a wallet will distinguish between used and unused addresses,
and default to not use the former in coin selection. When setting
this flag on an existing wallet, rescanning the blockchain is required
to correctly mark previously used destinations. Together with "avoid
partial spends" (added in Bitcoin Core v0.17.0), this can eliminate a
serious privacy issue where a malicious user can track spends by
sending small payments to a previously-paid address that would then
be included with unrelated inputs in future payments. (#13756)
Build system changes
--------------------
- Python >=3.5 is now required by all aspects of the project. This
includes the build systems, test framework and linters. The previously
supported minimum (3.4), was EOL in March 2019. (#14954)
- The minimum supported miniUPnPc API version is set to 10. This keeps
compatibility with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Debian 8 `libminiupnpc-dev`
packages. Please note, on Debian this package is still vulnerable to
[CVE-2017-8798](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-8798)
(in jessie only) and
[CVE-2017-1000494](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-1000494)
(both in jessie and in stretch). (#15993)

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.5.5.md | bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt version 0.5.5 are now available for download at:
Windows: installer | zip (sig)
Source: tar.gz
bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt version 0.6.0.7 are also tagged in git, but it is recommended to upgrade to 0.6.1.
These are bugfix-only releases.
Please report bugs by replying to this forum thread. Note that the 0.4.x wxBitcoin GUI client is no longer maintained nor supported. If someone would like to step up to maintain this, they should contact Luke-Jr.
BUG FIXES
Version 0.6.0 allowed importing invalid "private keys", which would be unspendable; 0.6.0.7 will now verify the private key is valid, and refuse to import an invalid one
Verify status of encrypt/decrypt calls to detect failed padding
Check blocks for duplicate transactions earlier. Fixes #1167
Upgrade Windows builds to OpenSSL 1.0.1b
Set label when selecting an address that already has a label. Fixes #1080 (Bitcoin-Qt)
JSON-RPC listtransactions's from/count handling is now fixed
Optimize and fix multithreaded access, when checking whether we already know about transactions
Fix potential networking deadlock
Proper support for Growl 1.3 notifications
Display an error, rather than crashing, if encoding a QR Code failed (0.6.0.7)
Don't erroneously set "Display addresses" for users who haven't explicitly enabled it (Bitcoin-Qt)
Some non-ASCII input in JSON-RPC expecting hexadecimal may have been misinterpreted rather than rejected
Missing error condition checking added
Do not show green tick unless all known blocks are downloaded. Fixes #921 (Bitcoin-Qt)
Increase time ago of last block for "up to date" status from 30 to 90 minutes
Show a message box when runaway exception happens (Bitcoin-Qt)
Use a messagebox to display the error when -server is provided without providing a rpc password
Show error message instead of exception crash when unable to bind RPC port (Bitcoin-Qt)
Correct sign message bitcoin address tooltip. Fixes #1050 (Bitcoin-Qt)
Removed "(no label)" from QR Code dialog titlebar if we have no label (0.6.0.7)
Removed an ugly line break in tooltip for mature transactions (0.6.0.7)
Add missing tooltip and key shortcut in settings dialog (part of #1088) (Bitcoin-Qt)
Work around issue in boost::program_options that prevents from compiling in clang
Fixed bugs occurring only on platforms with unsigned characters (such as ARM).
Rename make_windows_icon.py to .sh as it is a shell script. Fixes #1099 (Bitcoin-Qt)
Various trivial internal corrections to types used for counting/size loops and warnings

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.3.16.md | Never released.
| 0 |
bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.3.22.md | Download URL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.22/
This is largely a bugfix and TX fee schedule release. We also hope to make 0.3.23 a quick release, to fix problems that the network has seen due to explosive growth in the past week.
Notable changes:
* Client will accept and relay TX's with 0.0005 BTC fee schedule (users still pay 0.01 BTC per kb, until next version)
* Non-standard transactions accepted on testnet
* Source code tree reorganized (prep for autotools build)
* Remove "Generate Coins" option from GUI, and remove 4way SSE miner. Internal reference CPU miner remains available, but users are directed to external miners for best hash production.
* IRC is overflowing. Client now bootstraps to channels #bitcoin00 - #bitcoin99
* DNS names now may be used with -addnode, -connect (requires -dns to enable)
RPC changes:
* 'listtransactions' adds 'from' param, for range queries
* 'move' may take account balances negative
* 'settxfee' added, to manually set TX fee

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.15.0.1.md | Bitcoin Core version *0.15.0.1* is now available from:
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.15.0.1/>
and
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.15.0.1/>
This is a minor bug fix for 0.15.0.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:

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).
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or higher, your chainstate database will
be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to
half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.
The file format of `fee_estimates.dat` changed in version 0.15.0. Hence, a
downgrade from version 0.15.0 or upgrade to version 0.15.0 will cause all fee
estimates to be discarded.
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported.
However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
Downgrading warning
-------------------
The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous
releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any
older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate`
option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format.
If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and
processing the entire blockchain.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
frequently tested on them.
Notable changes
===============
GUI startup crash issue
-------------------------
After upgrade to 0.15.0, some clients would crash at startup because a custom
fee setting was configured that no longer exists in the GUI. This is a minimal
patch to avoid this issue from occuring.
0.15.0.1 Change log
====================
- #11332 `46c8d23` Fix possible crash with invalid nCustomFeeRadio in QSettings (achow101, TheBlueMatt)
Also the manpages were updated, as this was forgotten for 0.15.0.

Downgrading warning
-------------------
Wallets created in 0.16 and later are not compatible with versions prior to 0.16
and will not work if you try to use newly created wallets in older versions. Existing
wallets that were created with older versions are not affected by this.

Notable changes
===============
Miner block size removed
------------------------
The `-blockmaxsize` option for miners to limit their blocks' sizes was
deprecated in version 0.15.1, and has now been removed. Miners should use the
`-blockmaxweight` option if they want to limit the weight of their blocks'
weights.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.9.1.md | Bitcoin Core version 0.9.1 is now available from:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.1/
This is a security update. It is recommended to upgrade to this release
as soon as possible.
It is especially important to upgrade if you currently have version
0.9.0 installed and are using the graphical interface OR you are using
bitcoind from any pre-0.9.1 version, and have enabled SSL for RPC and
have configured allowip to allow rpc connections from potentially
hostile hosts.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

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).
If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run
0.9.1 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from
30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
0.9.1 Release notes
=======================
No code changes were made between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1. Only the dependencies were changed.
- Upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.1g. This release fixes the following vulnerabilities which can
affect the Bitcoin Core software:
- CVE-2014-0160 ("heartbleed")
A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension can
be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or server.
- CVE-2014-0076
The Montgomery ladder implementation in OpenSSL does not ensure that
certain swap operations have a constant-time behavior, which makes it
easier for local users to obtain ECDSA nonces via a FLUSH+RELOAD cache
side-channel attack.
- Add statically built executables to Linux build
Credits
--------
Credits go to the OpenSSL team for fixing the vulnerabilities quickly.

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).
If your node has a txindex, the txindex db will be migrated the first time you run 0.17.0 or newer, which may take up to a few hours. Your node will not be functional until this migration completes.
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database will be converted to a
new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour,
depending on the speed of your machine.
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported.
However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
Downgrading warning
-------------------
The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous
releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any
older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate`
option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format.
If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and
processing the entire blockchain.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer (Windows XP is not supported).
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
frequently tested on them.
From 0.17.0 onwards macOS <10.10 is no longer supported. 0.17.0 is built using Qt 5.9.x, which doesn't
support versions of macOS older than 10.10.
Known issues
============
- Upgrading from 0.13.0 or older currently results in memory blow-up during the roll-back of blocks to the SegWit activation point. In these cases, a full `-reindex` is necessary.
- The GUI suffers from visual glitches in the new MacOS dark mode. This has to do with our Qt theme handling and is not a new problem in 0.17.0, but is expected to be resolved in 0.17.1.
Notable changes
===============
Changed configuration options
-----------------------------
- `-includeconf=<file>` can be used to include additional configuration files.
Only works inside the `bitcoin.conf` file, not inside included files or from
command-line. Multiple files may be included. Can be disabled from command-
line via `-noincludeconf`. Note that multi-argument commands like
`-includeconf` will override preceding `-noincludeconf`, i.e.
```
noincludeconf=1
includeconf=relative.conf
```
as bitcoin.conf will still include `relative.conf`.
GUI changes
-----------
- Block storage can be limited under Preferences, in the Main tab. Undoing this setting requires downloading the full blockchain again. This mode is incompatible with -txindex and -rescan.
External wallet files
---------------------
The `-wallet=<path>` option now accepts full paths instead of requiring wallets
to be located in the -walletdir directory.
Newly created wallet format
---------------------------
If `-wallet=<path>` is specified with a path that does not exist, it will now
create a wallet directory at the specified location (containing a wallet.dat
data file, a db.log file, and database/log.?????????? files) instead of just
creating a data file at the path and storing log files in the parent
directory. This should make backing up wallets more straightforward than
before because the specified wallet path can just be directly archived without
having to look in the parent directory for transaction log files.
For backwards compatibility, wallet paths that are names of existing data files
in the `-walletdir` directory will continue to be accepted and interpreted the
same as before.
Dynamic loading and creation of wallets
---------------------------------------
Previously, wallets could only be loaded or created at startup, by specifying `-wallet` parameters on the command line or in the bitcoin.conf file. It is now possible to load, create and unload wallets dynamically at runtime:
- Existing wallets can be loaded by calling the `loadwallet` RPC. The wallet can be specified as file/directory basename (which must be located in the `walletdir` directory), or as an absolute path to a file/directory.
- New wallets can be created (and loaded) by calling the `createwallet` RPC. The provided name must not match a wallet file in the `walletdir` directory or the name of a wallet that is currently loaded.
- Loaded wallets can be unloaded by calling the `unloadwallet` RPC.
This feature is currently only available through the RPC interface.
Coin selection
--------------
### Partial spend avoidance
When an address is paid multiple times the coins from those separate payments can be spent separately which hurts privacy due to linking otherwise separate addresses. A new `-avoidpartialspends` flag has been added (default=false). If enabled, the wallet will always spend existing UTXO to the same address together even if it results in higher fees. If someone were to send coins to an address after it was used, those coins will still be included in future coin selections.
Configuration sections for testnet and regtest
----------------------------------------------
It is now possible for a single configuration file to set different
options for different networks. This is done by using sections or by
prefixing the option with the network, such as:
main.uacomment=bitcoin
test.uacomment=bitcoin-testnet
regtest.uacomment=regtest
[main]
mempoolsize=300
[test]
mempoolsize=100
[regtest]
mempoolsize=20
If the following options are not in a section, they will only apply to mainnet:
`addnode=`, `connect=`, `port=`, `bind=`, `rpcport=`, `rpcbind=` and `wallet=`.
The options to choose a network (`regtest=` and `testnet=`) must be specified
outside of sections.
'label' and 'account' APIs for wallet
-------------------------------------
A new 'label' API has been introduced for the wallet. This is intended as a
replacement for the deprecated 'account' API. The 'account' can continue to
be used in V0.17 by starting bitcoind with the '-deprecatedrpc=accounts'
argument, and will be fully removed in V0.18.
The label RPC methods mirror the account functionality, with the following functional differences:
- Labels can be set on any address, not just receiving addresses. This functionality was previously only available through the GUI.
- Labels can be deleted by reassigning all addresses using the `setlabel` RPC method.
- There isn't support for sending transactions _from_ a label, or for determining which label a transaction was sent from.
- Labels do not have a balance.
Here are the changes to RPC methods:
| Deprecated Method | New Method | Notes |
| :---------------------- | :-------------------- | :-----------|
| `getaccount` | `getaddressinfo` | `getaddressinfo` returns a json object with address information instead of just the name of the account as a string. |
| `getaccountaddress` | n/a | There is no replacement for `getaccountaddress` since labels do not have an associated receive address. |
| `getaddressesbyaccount` | `getaddressesbylabel` | `getaddressesbylabel` returns a json object with the addresses as keys, instead of a list of strings. |
| `getreceivedbyaccount` | `getreceivedbylabel` | _no change in behavior_ |
| `listaccounts` | `listlabels` | `listlabels` does not return a balance or accept `minconf` and `watchonly` arguments. |
| `listreceivedbyaccount` | `listreceivedbylabel` | Both methods return new `label` fields, along with `account` fields for backward compatibility. |
| `move` | n/a | _no replacement_ |
| `sendfrom` | n/a | _no replacement_ |
| `setaccount` | `setlabel` | Both methods now: <ul><li>allow assigning labels to any address, instead of raising an error if the address is not receiving address.<li>delete the previous label associated with an address when the final address using that label is reassigned to a different label, instead of making an implicit `getaccountaddress` call to ensure the previous label still has a receiving address. |
| Changed Method | Notes |
| :--------------------- | :------ |
| `addmultisigaddress` | Renamed `account` named parameter to `label`. Still accepts `account` for backward compatibility if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts'. |
| `getnewaddress` | Renamed `account` named parameter to `label`. Still accepts `account` for backward compatibility. if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' |
| `listunspent` | Returns new `label` fields. `account` field will be returned for backward compatibility if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' |
| `sendmany` | The `account` named parameter has been renamed to `dummy`. If provided, the `dummy` parameter must be set to the empty string, unless running with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` argument (in which case functionality is unchanged). |
| `listtransactions` | The `account` named parameter has been renamed to `dummy`. If provided, the `dummy` parameter must be set to the string `*`, unless running with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` argument (in which case functionality is unchanged). |
| `getbalance` | `account`, `minconf` and `include_watchonly` parameters are deprecated, and can only be used if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' |
BIP 174 Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions support
-----------------------------------------------------
[BIP 174 PSBT](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki) is an interchange format for Bitcoin transactions that are not fully signed
yet, together with relevant metadata to help entities work towards signing it.
It is intended to simplify workflows where multiple parties need to cooperate to
produce a transaction. Examples include hardware wallets, multisig setups, and
[CoinJoin](https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=279249) transactions.
### Overall workflow
Overall, the construction of a fully signed Bitcoin transaction goes through the
following steps:
- A **Creator** proposes a particular transaction to be created. He constructs
a PSBT that contains certain inputs and outputs, but no additional metadata.
- For each input, an **Updater** adds information about the UTXOs being spent by
the transaction to the PSBT.
- A potentially other Updater adds information about the scripts and public keys
involved in each of the inputs (and possibly outputs) of the PSBT.
- **Signers** inspect the transaction and its metadata to decide whether they
agree with the transaction. They can use amount information from the UTXOs
to assess the values and fees involved. If they agree, they produce a
partial signature for the inputs for which they have relevant key(s).
- A **Finalizer** is run for each input to convert the partial signatures and
possibly script information into a final `scriptSig` and/or `scriptWitness`.
- An **Extractor** produces a valid Bitcoin transaction (in network format)
from a PSBT for which all inputs are finalized.
Generally, each of the above (excluding Creator and Extractor) will simply
add more and more data to a particular PSBT. In a naive workflow, they all have
to operate sequentially, passing the PSBT from one to the next, until the
Extractor can convert it to a real transaction. In order to permit parallel
operation, **Combiners** can be employed which merge metadata from different
PSBTs for the same unsigned transaction.
The names above in bold are the names of the roles defined in BIP174. They're
useful in understanding the underlying steps, but in practice, software and
hardware implementations will typically implement multiple roles simultaneously.
### RPCs
- **`converttopsbt` (Creator)** is a utility RPC that converts an
unsigned raw transaction to PSBT format. It ignores existing signatures.
- **`createpsbt` (Creator)** is a utility RPC that takes a list of inputs and
outputs and converts them to a PSBT with no additional information. It is
equivalent to calling `createrawtransaction` followed by `converttopsbt`.
- **`walletcreatefundedpsbt` (Creator, Updater)** is a wallet RPC that creates a
PSBT with the specified inputs and outputs, adds additional inputs and change
to it to balance it out, and adds relevant metadata. In particular, for inputs
that the wallet knows about (counting towards its normal or watch-only
balance), UTXO information will be added. For outputs and inputs with UTXO
information present, key and script information will be added which the wallet
knows about. It is equivalent to running `createrawtransaction`, followed by
`fundrawtransaction`, and `converttopsbt`.
- **`walletprocesspsbt` (Updater, Signer, Finalizer)** is a wallet RPC that takes as
input a PSBT, adds UTXO, key, and script data to inputs and outputs that miss
it, and optionally signs inputs. Where possible it also finalizes the partial
signatures.
- **`finalizepsbt` (Finalizer, Extractor)** is a utility RPC that finalizes any
partial signatures, and if all inputs are finalized, converts the result to a
fully signed transaction which can be broadcast with `sendrawtransaction`.
- **`combinepsbt` (Combiner)** is a utility RPC that implements a Combiner. It
can be used at any point in the workflow to merge information added to
different versions of the same PSBT. In particular it is useful to combine the
output of multiple Updaters or Signers.
- **`decodepsbt`** is a diagnostic utility RPC which will show all information in
a PSBT in human-readable form, as well as compute its eventual fee if known.
Upgrading non-HD wallets to HD wallets
--------------------------------------
Since Bitcoin Core 0.13.0, creating new BIP 32 Hierarchical Deterministic wallets has been supported by Bitcoin Core but old non-HD wallets could not be upgraded to HD. Now non-HD wallets can be upgraded to HD using the `-upgradewallet` command line option. This upgrade will result in the all keys in the keypool being marked as used and a new keypool generated. **A new backup must be made when this upgrade is performed.**
Additionally, `-upgradewallet` can be used to upgraded from a non-split HD chain (all keys generated with `m/0'/0'/i'`) to a split HD chain (receiving keys generated with `'m/0'/0'/i'` and change keys generated with `m'/0'/1'/i'`). When this upgrade occurs, all keys already in the keypool will remain in the keypool to be used until all keys from before the upgrade are exhausted. This is to avoid issues with backups and downgrades when some keys may come from the change key keypool. Users can begin using the new split HD chain keypools by using the `newkeypool` RPC to mark all keys in the keypool as used and begin using a new keypool generated from the split HD chain.
HD Master key rotation
----------------------
A new RPC, `sethdseed`, has been introduced which allows users to set a new HD seed or set their own HD seed. This allows for a new HD seed to be used. **A new backup must be made when a new HD seed is set.**
Low-level RPC changes
---------------------
- The new RPC `scantxoutset` can be used to scan the UTXO set for entries
that match certain output descriptors. Refer to the [output descriptors
reference documentation](/doc/descriptors.md) for more details. This call
is similar to `listunspent` but does not use a wallet, meaning that the
wallet can be disabled at compile or run time. This call is experimental,
as such, is subject to changes or removal in future releases.
- The `createrawtransaction` RPC will now accept an array or dictionary (kept for compatibility) for the `outputs` parameter. This means the order of transaction outputs can be specified by the client.
- The `fundrawtransaction` RPC will reject the previously deprecated `reserveChangeKey` option.
- `sendmany` now shuffles outputs to improve privacy, so any previously expected behavior with regards to output ordering can no longer be relied upon.
- The new RPC `testmempoolaccept` can be used to test acceptance of a transaction to the mempool without adding it.
- JSON transaction decomposition now includes a `weight` field which provides
the transaction's exact weight. This is included in REST /rest/tx/ and
/rest/block/ endpoints when in json mode. This is also included in `getblock`
(with verbosity=2), `listsinceblock`, `listtransactions`, and
`getrawtransaction` RPC commands.
- New `fees` field introduced in `getrawmempool`, `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants` and
`getmempoolentry` when verbosity is set to `true` with sub-fields `ancestor`, `base`, `modified`
and `descendant` denominated in BTC. This new field deprecates previous fee fields, such as
`fee`, `modifiedfee`, `ancestorfee` and `descendantfee`.
- The new RPC `getzmqnotifications` returns information about active ZMQ
notifications.
- When bitcoin is not started with any `-wallet=<path>` options, the name of
the default wallet returned by `getwalletinfo` and `listwallets` RPCs is
now the empty string `""` instead of `"wallet.dat"`. If bitcoin is started
with any `-wallet=<path>` options, there is no change in behavior, and the
name of any wallet is just its `<path>` string.
- Passing an empty string (`""`) as the `address_type` parameter to
`getnewaddress`, `getrawchangeaddress`, `addmultisigaddress`,
`fundrawtransaction` RPCs is now an error. Previously, this would fall back
to using the default address type. It is still possible to pass null or leave
the parameter unset to use the default address type.
- Bare multisig outputs to our keys are no longer automatically treated as
incoming payments. As this feature was only available for multisig outputs for
which you had all private keys in your wallet, there was generally no use for
them compared to single-key schemes. Furthermore, no address format for such
outputs is defined, and wallet software can't easily send to it. These outputs
will no longer show up in `listtransactions`, `listunspent`, or contribute to
your balance, unless they are explicitly watched (using `importaddress` or
`importmulti` with hex script argument). `signrawtransaction*` also still
works for them.
- The `getwalletinfo` RPC method now returns an `hdseedid` value, which is always the same as the incorrectly-named `hdmasterkeyid` value. `hdmasterkeyid` will be removed in V0.18.
- The `getaddressinfo` RPC method now returns an `hdseedid` value, which is always the same as the incorrectly-named `hdmasterkeyid` value. `hdmasterkeyid` will be removed in V0.18.
- Parts of the `validateaddress` RPC method have been deprecated and moved to
`getaddressinfo`. Clients must transition to using `getaddressinfo` to access
this information before upgrading to v0.18. The following deprecated fields
have moved to `getaddressinfo` and will only be shown with
`-deprecatedrpc=validateaddress`: `ismine`, `iswatchonly`, `script`, `hex`,
`pubkeys`, `sigsrequired`, `pubkey`, `addresses`, `embedded`, `iscompressed`,
`account`, `timestamp`, `hdkeypath`, `hdmasterkeyid`.
- `signrawtransaction` is deprecated and will be fully removed in v0.18. To use
`signrawtransaction` in v0.17, restart bitcoind with
`-deprecatedrpc=signrawtransaction`. Projects should transition to using
`signrawtransactionwithkey` and `signrawtransactionwithwallet` before
upgrading to v0.18.
Other API changes
-----------------
- The `inactivehdmaster` property in the `dumpwallet` output has been corrected to `inactivehdseed`
### Logging
- The log timestamp format is now ISO 8601 (e.g. "2018-02-28T12:34:56Z").
- When running bitcoind with `-debug` but without `-daemon`, logging to stdout
is now the default behavior. Setting `-printtoconsole=1` no longer implicitly
disables logging to debug.log. Instead, logging to file can be explicitly disabled
by setting `-debuglogfile=0`.
Transaction index changes
-------------------------
The transaction index is now built separately from the main node procedure,
meaning the `-txindex` flag can be toggled without a full reindex. If bitcoind
is run with `-txindex` on a node that is already partially or fully synced
without one, the transaction index will be built in the background and become
available once caught up. When switching from running `-txindex` to running
without the flag, the transaction index database will *not* be deleted
automatically, meaning it could be turned back on at a later time without a full
resync.
Miner block size removed
------------------------
The `-blockmaxsize` option for miners to limit their blocks' sizes was
deprecated in V0.15.1, and has now been removed. Miners should use the
`-blockmaxweight` option if they want to limit the weight of their blocks.
Python Support
--------------
Support for Python 2 has been discontinued for all test files and tools.

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.8.0.md | Bitcoin-Qt version 0.8.0 is now available from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.0/
This is a major release designed to improve performance and handle the
increasing volume of transactions on the network.
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).
The first time you run after the upgrade a re-indexing process will be
started that will take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours,
depending on the speed of your machine.
Incompatible Changes
--------------------
This release no longer maintains a full index of historical transaction ids
by default, so looking up an arbitrary transaction using the getrawtransaction
RPC call will not work. 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
------------
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.
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).
Pieter Wuille implemented many optimizations to the way transactions are
verified, so a running, synchronized node uses less working 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.
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").
New/changed settings (command-line or bitcoin.conf file)
--------------------------------------------------------
dbcache : controls LevelDB memory usage.
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.
txindex : maintains an extra index of old, spent transaction ids so they will be found
by the getrawtransaction JSON-RPC method.
reindex : rebuild block and transaction indices from the downloaded block data.
New JSON-RPC API Features
-------------------------
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
------------------
Qt 4.8.3 (compiling against older versions of Qt 4 should continue to work)

bitcoin/doc | bitcoin/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.4.4.md | Bitcoin version 0.4.4 is now available for download at:
http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bitcoind-0.4.4/
This is a bugfix-only release based on 0.4.0.
Please note that the wxBitcoin GUI client is no longer maintained nor supported. If someone would like to step up to maintain this, they should contact Luke-Jr.
Please report bugs for the daemon only using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
Stable source code is hosted at Gitorious:
http://gitorious.org/bitcoin/bitcoind-stable/archive-tarball/v0.4.4#.tar.gz
BUG FIXES
Limit the number of orphan transactions stored in memory, to prevent a potential denial-of-service attack by flooding orphan transactions. Also never store invalid transactions at all.
Fix possible buffer overflow on systems with very long application data paths. This is not exploitable.
Resolved multiple bugs preventing long-term unlocking of encrypted wallets (issue #922).
Only send local IP in "version" messages if it is globally routable (ie, not private), and try to get such an IP from UPnP if applicable.
Reannounce UPnP port forwards every 20 minutes, to workaround routers expiring old entries, and allow the -upnp option to override any stored setting.
Various memory leaks and potential null pointer deferences have been
fixed.
Several shutdown issues have been fixed.
Check that keys stored in the wallet are valid at startup, and if not,
report corruption.
Various build fixes.
If no password is specified to bitcoind, recommend a secure password.
Update hard-coded fallback seed nodes, choosing recent ones with long uptime and versions at least 0.4.0.
Add checkpoint at block 168,000.
