This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility. - Notable changes =============== -Faster synchronization ----------------------- - -Bitcoin Core now uses 'headers-first synchronization'. This means that we first -ask peers for block headers (a total of 27 megabytes, as of December 2014) and -validate those. In a second stage, when the headers have been discovered, we -download the blocks. However, as we already know about the whole chain in -advance, the blocks can be downloaded in parallel from all available peers. - -In practice, this means a much faster and more robust synchronization. On -recent hardware with a decent network link, it can be as little as 3 hours -for an initial full synchronization. You may notice a slower progress in the -very first few minutes, when headers are still being fetched and verified, but -it should gain speed afterwards. - -A few RPCs were added/updated as a result of this: -- `getblockchaininfo` now returns the number of validated headers in addition to -the number of validated blocks. -- `getpeerinfo` lists both the number of blocks and headers we know we have in -common with each peer. While synchronizing, the heights of the blocks that we -have requested from peers (but haven't received yet) are also listed as -'inflight'. -- A new RPC `getchaintips` lists all known branches of the block chain, -including those we only have headers for. - -Transaction fee changes ------------------------ - -This release automatically estimates how high a transaction fee (or how -high a priority) transactions require to be confirmed quickly. The default -settings will create transactions that confirm quickly; see the new -'txconfirmtarget' setting to control the tradeoff between fees and -confirmation times. Fees are added by default unless the 'sendfreetransactions' -setting is enabled. - -Prior releases used hard-coded fees (and priorities), and would -sometimes create transactions that took a very long time to confirm. - -Statistics used to estimate fees and priorities are saved in the -data directory in the `fee_estimates.dat` file just before -program shutdown, and are read in at startup. - -New command line options for transaction fee changes: -- `-txconfirmtarget=n` : create transactions that have enough fees (or priority) -so they are likely to begin confirmation within n blocks (default: 1). This setting -is over-ridden by the -paytxfee option. -- `-sendfreetransactions` : Send transactions as zero-fee transactions if possible -(default: 0) - -New RPC commands for fee estimation: -- `estimatefee nblocks` : Returns approximate fee-per-1,000-bytes needed for -a transaction to begin confirmation within nblocks. Returns -1 if not enough -transactions have been observed to compute a good estimate. -- `estimatepriority nblocks` : Returns approximate priority needed for -a zero-fee transaction to begin confirmation within nblocks. Returns -1 if not -enough free transactions have been observed to compute a good -estimate. - -RPC access control changes --------------------------- - -Subnet matching for the purpose of access control is now done -by matching the binary network address, instead of with string wildcard matching. -For the user this means that `-rpcallowip` takes a subnet specification, which can be - -- a single IP address (e.g. `1.2.3.4` or `fe80::0012:3456:789a:bcde`) -- a network/CIDR (e.g. `1.2.3.0/24` or `fe80::0000/64`) -- a network/netmask (e.g. `1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0` or `fe80::0012:3456:789a:bcde/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff`) - -An arbitrary number of `-rpcallow` arguments can be given. An incoming connection will be accepted if its origin address -matches one of them. - -For example: - -| 0.9.x and before | 0.10.x | -|--------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------| -| `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.1` | `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.1` (unchanged) | -| `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.*` | `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.0/24` | -| `-rpcallowip=192.168.*` | `-rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/16` | -| `-rpcallowip=*` (dangerous!) | `-rpcallowip=::/0` (still dangerous!) | - -Using wildcards will result in the rule being rejected with the following error in debug.log: - - Error: Invalid -rpcallowip subnet specification: *. Valid are a single IP (e.g. 1.2.3.4), a network/netmask (e.g. 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0) or a network/CIDR (e.g. 1.2.3.4/24). - - -REST interface --------------- - -A new HTTP API is exposed when running with the `-rest` flag, which allows -unauthenticated access to public node data. - -It is served on the same port as RPC, but does not need a password, and uses -plain HTTP instead of JSON-RPC. - -Assuming a local RPC server running on port 8332, it is possible to request: -- Blocks: http://localhost:8332/rest/block/*HASH*.*EXT* -- Blocks without transactions: http://localhost:8332/rest/block/notxdetails/*HASH*.*EXT* -- Transactions (requires `-txindex`): http://localhost:8332/rest/tx/*HASH*.*EXT* - -In every case, *EXT* can be `bin` (for raw binary data), `hex` (for hex-encoded -binary) or `json`. - -For more details, see the `doc/REST-interface.md` document in the repository. - -RPC Server "Warm-Up" Mode -------------------------- - -The RPC server is started earlier now, before most of the expensive -intialisations like loading the block index. It is available now almost -immediately after starting the process. However, until all initialisations -are done, it always returns an immediate error with code -28 to all calls. - -This new behaviour can be useful for clients to know that a server is already -started and will be available soon (for instance, so that they do not -have to start it themselves). - -Improved signing security -------------------------- - -For 0.10 the security of signing against unusual attacks has been -improved by making the signatures constant time and deterministic. - -This change is a result of switching signing to use libsecp256k1 -instead of OpenSSL. Libsecp256k1 is a cryptographic library -optimized for the curve Bitcoin uses which was created by Bitcoin -Core developer Pieter Wuille. - -There exist attacks[1] against most ECC implementations where an -attacker on shared virtual machine hardware could extract a private -key if they could cause a target to sign using the same key hundreds -of times. While using shared hosts and reusing keys are inadvisable -for other reasons, it's a better practice to avoid the exposure. - -OpenSSL has code in their source repository for derandomization -and reduction in timing leaks that we've eagerly wanted to use for a -long time, but this functionality has still not made its -way into a released version of OpenSSL. Libsecp256k1 achieves -significantly stronger protection: As far as we're aware this is -the only deployed implementation of constant time signing for -the curve Bitcoin uses and we have reason to believe that -libsecp256k1 is better tested and more thoroughly reviewed -than the implementation in OpenSSL. - -[1] https://eprint.iacr.org/2014/161.pdf -Watch-only wallet support -------------------------- - -The wallet can now track transactions to and from wallets for which you know -all addresses (or scripts), even without the private keys. - -This can be used to track payments without needing the private keys online on a -possibly vulnerable system. In addition, it can help for (manual) construction -of multisig transactions where you are only one of the signers. - -One new RPC, `importaddress`, is added which functions similarly to -`importprivkey`, but instead takes an address or script (in hexadecimal) as -argument. After using it, outputs credited to this address or script are -considered to be received, and transactions consuming these outputs will be -considered to be sent. - -The following RPCs have optional support for watch-only: -`getbalance`, `listreceivedbyaddress`, `listreceivedbyaccount`, -`listtransactions`, `listaccounts`, `listsinceblock`, `gettransaction`. See the -RPC documentation for those methods for more information. - -Compared to using `getrawtransaction`, this mechanism does not require -`-txindex`, scales better, integrates better with the wallet, and is compatible -with future block chain pruning functionality. It does mean that all relevant -addresses need to added to the wallet before the payment, though. - -Consensus library ------------------ - -Starting from 0.10.0, the Bitcoin Core distribution includes a consensus library. - -The purpose of this library is to make the verification functionality that is -critical to Bitcoin's consensus available to other applications, e.g. to language -bindings such as [python-bitcoinlib](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-bitcoinlib) or -alternative node implementations. - -This library is called `libbitcoinconsensus.so` (or, `.dll` for Windows). -Its interface is defined in the C header [bitcoinconsensus.h](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/0.10/src/script/bitcoinconsensus.h). - -In its initial version the API includes two functions: - -- `bitcoinconsensus_verify_script` verifies a script. It returns whether the indicated input of the provided serialized transaction -correctly spends the passed scriptPubKey under additional constraints indicated by flags -- `bitcoinconsensus_version` returns the API version, currently at an experimental `0` - -The functionality is planned to be extended to e.g. UTXO management in upcoming releases, but the interface -for existing methods should remain stable. - -Standard script rules relaxed for P2SH addresses ------------------------------------------------- - -The IsStandard() rules have been almost completely removed for P2SH -redemption scripts, allowing applications to make use of any valid -script type, such as "n-of-m OR y", hash-locked oracle addresses, etc. -While the Bitcoin protocol has always supported these types of script, -actually using them on mainnet has been previously inconvenient as -standard Bitcoin Core nodes wouldn't relay them to miners, nor would -most miners include them in blocks they mined. - -bitcoin-tx ----------- - -It has been observed that many of the RPC functions offered by bitcoind are -"pure functions", and operate independently of the bitcoind wallet. This -included many of the RPC "raw transaction" API functions, such as -createrawtransaction. - -bitcoin-tx is a newly introduced command line utility designed to enable easy -manipulation of bitcoin transactions. A summary of its operation may be -obtained via "bitcoin-tx --help" Transactions may be created or signed in a -manner similar to the RPC raw tx API. Transactions may be updated, deleting -inputs or outputs, or appending new inputs and outputs. Custom scripts may be -easily composed using a simple text notation, borrowed from the bitcoin test -suite. - -This tool may be used for experimenting with new transaction types, signing -multi-party transactions, and many other uses. Long term, the goal is to -deprecate and remove "pure function" RPC API calls, as those do not require a -server round-trip to execute. - -Other utilities "bitcoin-key" and "bitcoin-script" have been proposed, making -key and script operations easily accessible via command line. - -Mining and relay policy enhancements ------------------------------------- - -Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining -software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use -libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward. -If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin -Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status. -If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you. -If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect -you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66 -achieving its 951/1001 status. - -The `prioritisetransaction` RPC method has been added to enable miners to -manipulate the priority of transactions on an individual basis. - -Bitcoin Core now supports BIP 22 long polling, so mining software can be -notified immediately of new templates rather than having to poll periodically. - -Support for BIP 23 block proposals is now available in Bitcoin Core's -`getblocktemplate` method. This enables miners to check the basic validity of -their next block before expending work on it, reducing risks of accidental -hardforks or mining invalid blocks. - -Two new options to control mining policy: -- `-datacarrier=0/1` : Relay and mine "data carrier" (OP_RETURN) transactions -if this is 1. -- `-datacarriersize=n` : Maximum size, in bytes, we consider acceptable for -"data carrier" outputs. - -The relay policy has changed to more properly implement the desired behavior of not -relaying free (or very low fee) transactions unless they have a priority above the -AllowFreeThreshold(), in which case they are relayed subject to the rate limiter. - -BIP 66: strict DER encoding for signatures ------------------------------------------- - -Bitcoin Core 0.10 implements BIP 66, which introduces block version 3, and a new -consensus rule, which prohibits non-DER signatures. Such transactions have been -non-standard since Bitcoin v0.8.0 (released in February 2013), but were -technically still permitted inside blocks. - -This change breaks the dependency on OpenSSL's signature parsing, and is -required if implementations would want to remove all of OpenSSL from the -consensus code. - -The same miner-voting mechanism as in BIP 34 is used: when 751 out of a -sequence of 1001 blocks have version number 3 or higher, the new consensus -rule becomes active for those blocks. When 951 out of a sequence of 1001 -blocks have version number 3 or higher, it becomes mandatory for all blocks. - -Backward compatibility with current mining software is NOT provided, thus miners -should read the first paragraph of "Mining and relay policy enhancements" above. - -0.10.0 Change log +0.10.1 Change log ================= Detailed release notes follow.
