See below for more information; if you decide to encrypt your wallet, WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSPHRASE AND PUT IT IN A SECURE LOCATION. If you forget or lose your wallet passphrase, you lose your bitcoins. Previous versions of bitcoin are unable to read encrypted wallets, and will crash on startup if the wallet is encrypted. Also note: bitcoin version 0.4 uses a newer version of Berkeley DB (bdb version 4.8) than previous versions (bdb 4.7). If you upgrade to version 0.4 and then revert back to an earlier version of bitcoin the it may be unable to start because bdb 4.7 cannot read bdb 4.8 "log" files. Notable bug fixes from version 0.3.24: -------------------------------------- Fix several bitcoin-becomes-unresponsive bugs due to multithreading deadlocks. Optimize database writes for large (lots of inputs) transactions (fixes a potential denial-of-service attack) Wallet Encryption ----------------- Bitcoin supports native wallet encryption so that people who steal your wallet file don't automatically get access to all of your Bitcoins. In order to enable this feature, choose "Encrypt Wallet" from the Options menu. You will be prompted to enter a passphrase, which will be used as the key to encrypt your wallet and will be needed every time you wish to send Bitcoins. If you lose this passphrase, you will lose access to spend all of the bitcoins in your wallet, no one, not even the Bitcoin developers can recover your Bitcoins. This means you are responsible for your own security, store your passphrase in a secure location and do not forget it. Remember that the encryption built into bitcoin only encrypts the actual keys which are required to send your bitcoins, not the full wallet. This means that someone who steals your wallet file will be able to see all the addresses which belong to you, as well as the relevant transactions, you are only protected from someone spending your coins. It is recommended that you backup your wallet file before you encrypt your wallet. To do this, close the Bitcoin client and copy the wallet.dat file from ~/.bitcoin/ on Linux, /Users/(user name)/Application Support/Bitcoin/ on Mac OSX, and %APPDATA%/Bitcoin/ on Windows (that is /Users/(user name)/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin on Windows Vista and 7 and /Documents and Settings/(user name)/Application Data/Bitcoin on Windows XP). Once you have copied that file to a safe location, reopen the Bitcoin client and Encrypt your wallet. If everything goes fine, delete the backup and enjoy your encrypted wallet. Note that once you encrypt your wallet, you will never be able to go back to a version of the Bitcoin client older than 0.4. Keep in mind that you are always responsible for your own security. All it takes is a slightly more advanced wallet-stealing trojan which installs a keylogger to steal your wallet passphrase as you enter it in addition to your wallet file and you have lost all your Bitcoins. Wallet encryption cannot keep you safe if you do not practice good security, such as running up-to-date antivirus software, only entering your wallet passphrase in the Bitcoin client and using the same passphrase only as your wallet passphrase. See the doc/README file in the bitcoin source for technical details of wallet encryption. Full changelog ("git shortlog --no-merges v0.3.24..") ----------------------------------------- Abraham Jewowich (1): Fix bug with accessing vchData[0] when vchData is empty. Fix typo in CBase58Data::CompareTo Alex B (2): Romanian translation added Spanish translation update Alex Waters (1): Updated readme file Daniel Folkinshteyn (1): Update the list of seednodes. Dawid Spiechowicz (1): added polish wallet encryption messages Dean Lee (1): Update to the Chinese Simp translation Dev Random (4): Linux gitian config with separate wxWidgets build Mingw gitian with separate wxWidgets and boost Mingw gitian build with deterministic bitcoin.exe by use of faketime Add Gitian Build descriptors for Boost and wxWidgets. Doug Huff (1): Make mlock() and munlock() portable to systems that require the address to be on a page boundary. Dylan Noblesmith (1): mlock() all private keys in memory Eric Hosmer (1): Added crypter to makefile.vc. Fabian H jr. (1): Updated checkpoints, maybe Tx fee should be reduced to 0.0001 from 0.0005 and maximum minimum tx should be 0.0010. Gavin Andresen (24): Do-nothing MapPort() ifndef USE_UPNP. fixes #450 Don't std::advance past beginning of transactions array. Fixes #465 Remove unused ScanMessageStart function Compile with DEBUG_LOCKORDER to detect inconsistent lock orderings that can cause deadlocks CHECKMULTISIG unit tests. Highlight mis-matching locks Fix rpc-hanging deadlocks Fixed potential deadlocks in GUI code. Also changed semantics of CWalletTx::GetTxTime(); now always returns the time the transaction was received by this node, not the average block time. And added information about -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER to coding.txt. Fix typo ("you own security") SetCrypted() obtains keystore lock, to be safe. Logic running with -keypool=3D0 was wrong (empty keys were being returned). Fixes #445 Fix RPC call name in error message. obtain cs_wallet mutex to protect vchDefaultKey Fixed regression I introduced: wallets with lots of transactions were unusable in GUI. Fix bad merge: getaccountaddress was broken for new accounts Give hard-coded seed nodes a random last-seen time, to randomize order they're tried. Do not try to download blockchain from 0.3.23 nodes If compiled -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER and run with -debug, print out every mutex lock/unlock (helpful for debugging something-is-holding-a-mutex-too-long problems) Stay connected to seed nodes; disconnecting causes problems if you are trying to make the initial blockchain download. Versions 0.3.20 THROUGH 0.3.23 have trouble with blockchain downloads; avoid them Bumped version numbers to 0.4.0rc1 Optimize database writes for transactions with lots of TxIns. Patch from ArtForz, who discovered the problem. Fix AddAddress cs_mapaddresses/db transaction deadlock Fix QA email address Giel van Schijndel (15): fix warning on 64bit systems: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] fix warnings: expression result unused [-Wunused-value] fix warnings: using the result of an assignment as a condition without parentheses [-Wparentheses] fix warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtautological-compare] fix warning: X enumeration values not handled in switch [-Wswitch-enu= m] fix warning: unused variable 'X' [-Wunused-variable] fix warning: unused function 'SigIllHandlerSSE2' [-Wunused-function] fix warning: variable =91nMinDepth=92 set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] fix warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type] Make some global variables less-global (static) Cleanup makefiles such that diffs to them are smaller Move func 'REF' from util.h to serialize.h Start moving protocol-specific code to protocol.[ch]pp Move CAddress to protocol.[ch]pp Move CInv to protocol.[ch]pp Han Lin Yap (2): Comment "deprecated" Add a note to only include .po file Jay Weisskopf (4): Add logos/branding currently found on bitcoin.org into NSIS installer= .

Jeroenz0r (1): Translation from "Open Bitcoin" to "Verstuur Bitcoins" JoelKatz (1): Fix UNIX-specific thread handle leak. Johannes Henninger (1): Identify as "Bitcoin + version number" when mapping UPnP port Luke Dashjr (7): Update nTime after nExtraNonce to avoid potential race (extraNonce being reset due to just-occurred time change after nTime is set) Reset extraNonce only every 15 seconds, just in case some miner is updating time himself and stuff Reset extraNonce only when prevBlock changes, so miners can continue updating the time on their work until it's stale Support for boost filesystem version 3 ignore stuff Save coinbase, not just extraNonce Bugfix: Use timestamp in coinbase rather than "bits", needed to ensure coinbase txn is unique even if address is the same Matt Corallo (35): Add minversion to wallet.

Check for duplicate txins in CheckTransaction. Make it clear that setting proxy requires restart to fully apply. Don't listen if on TOR (resolves #441). Add missing include to serialize.h Add file for transaction tests. Cleanup test suite output to be more useful. Unify copyright notices. Missed a 'password' should be 'passphrase'.
