Notable changes
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Example item
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
$ echo -e "mysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
RPC low-level changes
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
- `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.
|
|
|
|
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.

0.13.0 Change log
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Detailed release notes follow. This overview includes changes that affect
|
|
behavior, not code moves, refactors and string updates. For convenience in locating
|
|
the code changes and accompanying discussion, both the pull request and
|
|
git merge commit are mentioned.
|
|
|
|
### RPC and REST
|
|
|
|
Asm script outputs now contain OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY in place of OP_NOP2
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
OP_NOP2 has been renamed to OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY by [BIP
|
|
65](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.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`
|
|
|
|
New mempool information RPC calls
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
### ZMQ
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Configuration and command-line options
|
|
|
|
### Block and transaction handling
|
|
|
|
### P2P protocol and network code
|
|
|
|
The p2p alert system has been removed in #7692 and the 'alert' message is no longer supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fee filtering of invs (BIP 133)
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
### Validation
|
|
|
|
### Build system
|
|
|
|
### Wallet
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
