Notable changes

|
|
|
|
===============

|

Example item
|

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
bitcoin-cli: arguments privacy
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The RPC command line client gained a new argument, `-stdin`
|
|
|
|
|
to read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl-D.
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ echo -e "mysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to use this for sensitive information such as wallet
|
|
|
|
|
passphrases, as command-line arguments can usually be read from the process
|
|
|
|
|
table by any user on the system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RPC low-level changes
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `gettxoutsetinfo` UTXO hash (`hash_serialized`) has changed. There was a divergence between
|
|
|
|
|
32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and the txids were missing in the hashed data. This has been
|
|
|
|
|
fixed, but this means that the output will be different than from previous versions.

|
Detailed release notes follow. This overview includes changes that affect
|
|
|
|
|
behavior, not code moves, refactors and string updates. For convenience in locating
|
|
|
|
|
the code changes and accompanying discussion, both the pull request and
|
|
|
|
|
git merge commit are mentioned.

### RPC and REST
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Asm script outputs now contain OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY in place of OP_NOP2
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OP_NOP2 has been renamed to OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY by [BIP
|
|
|
|
|
65](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following outputs are affected by this change:
|
|
|
|
|
- RPC `getrawtransaction` (in verbose mode)
|
|
|
|
|
- RPC `decoderawtransaction`
|
|
|
|
|
- RPC `decodescript`
|
|
|
|
|
- REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format)
|
|
|
|
|
- REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details)
|
|
|
|
|
- `bitcoin-tx -json`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### ZMQ
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each ZMQ notification now contains an up-counting sequence number that allows
|
|
|
|
|
listeners to detect lost notifications.
|
|
|
|
|
The sequence number is always the last element in a multi-part ZMQ notification and
|
|
|
|
|
therefore backward compatible.
|
|
|
|
|
Each message type has its own counter.

### Block and transaction handling

### P2P protocol and network code
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The p2p alert system has been removed in #7692 and the 'alert' message is no longer supported.
|
|
|
|

Fee filtering of invs (BIP 133)
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The optional new p2p message "feefilter" is implemented and the protocol
|
|
|
|
|
version is bumped to 70013. Upon receiving a feefilter message from a peer,
|
|
|
|
|
a node will not send invs for any transactions which do not meet the filter
|
|
|
|
|
feerate. [BIP 133](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0133.mediawiki)
