NOTABLE CHANGES
|
|
|
|
Much faster shutdowns. However, the blkindex.dat file is no longer
|
|
portable to different data directories by default. If you need a
|
|
portable blkindex.dat file then run with the new -detachdb=1 option
|
|
or the "Detach databases at shutdown" GUI preference.
|
|
|
|
Fixed https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/1065, a bug that
|
|
could cause long-running nodes to crash.
|
|
|
|
Mac and Windows binaries are compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.1b (Linux
|
|
binaries are dynamically linked to the version of OpenSSL on the system).
