Notable changes: Qt GUI ------ * Add UI RPC console / debug window * Re-Enable URI handling on Windows, add safety checks and tray-notifications * Add 2 labels to the overviewpage that display Wallet and Transaction status (obsolete or current) * Extend the optionsdialog (e.g. language selection) and re-work it to a tabbed UI * Merge sign/verify message into a single window with tabbed UI * Improve error reporting at startup * Fine-grained UI updates for a much smoother UI during block downloads * Reorganize tray icon menu into more logical order * Persistently poll for balance change when number of blocks changed * Much better translations * Added 'immature balance' display on the overview page * (Windows only): enable ASLR and DEP for bitcoin-qt.exe * (Windows only): add meta-data to bitcoin-qt.exe (e.g. description) Bitcoin Improvement Proposals implemented ----------------------------------------- BIP 22 - 'getblocktemplate', 'submitblock' RPCs JSON-RPC API ------------ * Internal HTTP server is now thread-per-connection, rather than a single-threaded queue that would stall on network I/O. * Internal HTTP server supports HTTP/1.1, pipelined requests and connection keep-alive. * Support JSON-RPC 2.0 batches, to encapsulate multiple JSON-RPC requests within a single HTTP request. * IPv6 support * Added raw transaction API. See https://gist.github.com/2839617 * Added 'getrawmempool', to list contents of TX memory pool * Added 'getpeerinfo', to list data about each connected network peer * Added 'listaddressgroupings' for better coin control * Rework gettransaction, getblock calls. 'gettransaction' responds for non-wallet TXs now. * Remove deprecated RPC 'getblocknumber' * New blockchain checkpoint at block 193,000 * listtransactions output now displays "smart" times for transactions, and 'blocktime' and 'timereceived' fields were added P2P networking -------------- * IPv6 support * Tor hidden service support * Attempts to fix "stuck blockchain download" problems * Replace BDB database "addr.dat" with internally-managed "peers.dat" file containing peer address data. * Lower default send buffer from 10MB to 1MB * proxy: SOCKS5 by default * Support connecting by hostnames passed to proxy (-proxydns) * Add -seednode connections, and use this for -dnsseed + -proxydns * Added -externalip and -discover * Add -onlynet to connect only to a given network (IPv4, IPv6, or Tor) * Separate listening sockets, -bind= Internal codebase ----------------- * Additional unit tests * Compile warning fixes Miscellaneous ------------- * Reopen debug.log upon SIGHUP * Bash programmable completion for bitcoind(1) * On supported OS's, each thread is given a useful name Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release: ======================================= Chris Moore Christian von Roques David Joel Schwartz Douglas Huff Fordy Gavin Andresen Giel van Schijndel Gregory Maxwell Jeff Garzik Luke Dashjr Matt Corallo Michael Ford Michael Hendricks Peter Todd Philip Kaufmann Pieter Wuille R E Broadley Ricardo M.
