CHANGE SUMMARY
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixed a serious denial-of-service attack that could cause the
|
|
|
|
bitcoin process to become unresponsive. Thanks to Sergio Lerner
|
|
|
|
for finding and responsibly reporting the problem. (CVE-2012-3789)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optimized the process of checking transaction signatures, to
|
|
|
|
speed up processing of new block messages and make propagating
|
|
|
|
blocks across the network faster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixed an obscure bug that could cause the bitcoin process to get
|
|
|
|
stuck on an invalid block-chain, if the invalid chain was
|
|
|
|
hundreds of blocks long.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin-Qt no longer automatically selects the first address
|
|
|
|
in the address book (Issue #1384).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixed minimize-to-dock behavior of Bitcoin-Qt on the Mac.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Added a block checkpoint at block 185,333 to speed up initial
|
|
|
|
blockchain download.
