|
||||
Big endian support
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Experimental support for big-endian CPU architectures was added in this
|
||||
release. 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 is did a gross underestimation of 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
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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 it 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.
