Bitcoin Core version 0.9.4 is now available from:
|
||||
|
||||
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.4/
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
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).
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSSL Warning
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k was recently released and is being pushed out by
|
||||
various operating system maintainers. Review by Gregory Maxwell determined that
|
||||
this update is incompatible with the Bitcoin system and could lead to consensus
|
||||
forks.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core released binaries from https://bitcoin.org are unaffected,
|
||||
as are any built with the gitian deterministic build system.
|
||||
|
||||
However, if you are running either
|
||||
|
||||
- The Ubuntu PPA from https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin
|
||||
- A third-party or self-compiled Bitcoin Core
|
||||
|
||||
upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.9.4, which includes a workaround, **before** updating
|
||||
OpenSSL.
|
||||
|
||||
The incompatibility is due to the OpenSSL update changing the
|
||||
behavior of ECDSA validation to reject any signature which is
|
||||
not encoded in a very rigid manner. This was a result of
|
||||
OpenSSL's change for CVE-2014-8275 "Certificate fingerprints
|
||||
can be modified".
|
||||
|
||||
We are specifically aware of potential hard-forks due to signature
|
||||
encoding handling and had been hoping to close them via BIP62 in 0.10.
|
||||
BIP62's purpose is to improve transaction malleability handling and
|
||||
as a side effect rigidly defines the encoding for signatures, but the
|
||||
overall scope of BIP62 has made it take longer than we'd like to
|
||||
deploy.
|
||||
|
||||
