-How to Upgrade
+Incompatible Changes
---------------
+--------------------
 
-If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait
+This release no longer maintains a full index of historical transaction ids
-until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older
+by default, so looking up an arbitrary transaction using the getrawtransaction
-versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over
+RPC call will not work. If you need that functionality, you must run once
-/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
+with -txindex=1 -reindex=1 to rebuild block-chain indices (see below for more
+details).
 
-If you were running on Linux with a version that might have been compiled
+Improvements
-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
+Mac and Windows binaries are signed with certificates owned by the Bitcoin
-  -detachdb to create standalone database .dat files before shutting down.
+Foundation, to be compatible with the new security features in OSX 10.8 and
+Windows 8.
 
-* -salvagewallet command-line option, which moves any existing wallet.dat
+LevelDB, a fast, open-source, non-relational database from Google, is
-  to wallet.{timestamp}.dat and then attempts to salvage public/private
+now used to store transaction and block indices.  LevelDB works much better
-  keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into
+on machines with slow I/O and is faster in general. Berkeley DB is now only
-  a new wallet.dat. This should only be used if your wallet becomes
+used for the wallet.dat file (public and private wallet keys and transactions
-  corrupted, and is not intended to replace regular wallet backups.
+relevant to you).
 
-* Import $DataDir/bootstrap.dat automatically, if it exists.
+Pieter Wuille implemented many optimizations to the way transactions are
+verified, so a running, synchronized node uses much less memory and does
+much less I/O. He also implemented parallel signature checking, so if you
+have a multi-CPU machine all CPUs will be used to verify transactions.
 
-Dependency changes
+New Features
+------------
+
+"Bloom filter" support in the network protocol for sending only relevant transactions to
+lightweight clients.
+
+contrib/verifysfbinaries is a shell-script to verify that the binary downloads
+at sourceforge have not been tampered with. If you are able, you can help make
+everybody's downloads more secure by running this occasionally to check PGP
+signatures against download file checksums.
+
+contrib/spendfrom is a python-language command-line utility that demonstrates
+how to use the "raw transactions" JSON-RPC api to send coins received from particular
+addresses (also known as "coin control").
+
+New/changed settings (command-line or bitcoin.conf file)
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+dbcache : now controls LevelDB memory usage. Running with (for example) -dbcache=1000
+will use a gigabyte of memory and might make the initial blockchain download faster.
+
+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 4.8.2 for Windows builds
+Qt 4.8.3 (compiling against older versions of Qt 4 should continue to work)
-
-* openssl 1.0.1c
-
-Bug fixes
----------
-
-* 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.
