I'm pleased to announce BitCoinJ v0.2. There have been over 100 commits since the first release back in March, which have added:
- Full support for block chain re-orgs, including recognition of dead transactions (that will never be included in the chain).
- Persistence of the block chain using multiple, pluggable stores. A BoundedOverheadBlockStore is provided that is suitable for usage on mobile devices where low memory usage and instant startup time are requirements.
- A much larger test suite
- IRC, DNS and seed list peer discovery
- ASN.1 key export
- Many many bugfixes and minor API improvements.
This release represents the work of many people. In particular I'd like to thank:
- Andreas Schildbach
- Miron Cuperman
- Gary Rowe
- Thilo Planz
- Micheal Swiggs
- Noa Resare
- John Sample
- Xiaofeng Guo
