The Bitcoin Core code base has -started using C++11. This means that a C++11-capable compiler is now needed for -building. Effectively this means GCC 4.7 or higher, or Clang 3.3 or higher. - -When cross-compiling for a target that doesn't have C++11 libraries, configure with -`./configure --enable-glibc-back-compat ... LDFLAGS=-static-libstdc++`. - -For running the functional tests in `qa/rpc-tests`, Python3.4 or higher is now -required. - - -Linux ARM builds ----------------- - -Due to popular request, Linux ARM builds have been added to the uploaded -executables. - -The following extra files can be found in the download directory or torrent: - -- `bitcoin-${VERSION}-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz`: Linux binaries for the most - common 32-bit ARM architecture. -- `bitcoin-${VERSION}-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.gz`: Linux binaries for the most - common 64-bit ARM architecture. - -ARM builds are still experimental. If you have problems on a certain device or -Linux distribution combination please report them on the bug tracker, it may be -possible to resolve them. - -Note that Android is not considered ARM Linux in this context. The executables -are not expected to work out of the box on Android. - - -Compact Block support (BIP 152) -------------------------------- - -Support for block relay using the Compact Blocks protocol has been implemented -in PR 8068. - -The primary goal is reducing the bandwidth spikes at relay time, though in many -cases it also reduces propagation delay. It is automatically enabled between -compatible peers. -[BIP 152](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0152.mediawiki) - -As a side-effect, ordinary non-mining nodes will download and upload blocks -faster if those blocks were produced by miners using similar transaction -filtering policies. This means that a miner who produces a block with many -transactions discouraged by your node will be relayed slower than one with -only transactions already in your memory pool. The overall effect of such -relay differences on the network may result in blocks which include widely- -discouraged transactions losing a stale block race, and therefore miners may -wish to configure their node to take common relay policies into consideration. - - -Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation ------------------------------------------ -Newly created wallets will use hierarchical deterministic key generation -according to BIP32 (keypath m/0'/0'/k'). -Existing wallets will still use traditional key generation. - -Backups of HD wallets, regardless of when they have been created, can -therefore be used to re-generate all possible private keys, even the -ones which haven't already been generated during the time of the backup. -**Attention:** Encrypting the wallet will create a new seed which requires -a new backup! - -Wallet dumps (created using the `dumpwallet` RPC) will contain the deterministic -seed. This is expected to allow future versions to import the seed and all -associated funds, but this is not yet implemented. - -HD key generation for new wallets can be disabled by `-usehd=0`. Keep in -mind that this flag only has affect on newly created wallets. -You can't disable HD key generation once you have created a HD wallet. - -There is no distinction between internal (change) and external keys. - -HD wallets are incompatible with older versions of Bitcoin Core. - -[Pull request](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8035/files), [BIP 32](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki) - - -Segregated Witness ------------------- - -The code preparations for Segregated Witness ("segwit"), as described in [BIP -141](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki), [BIP -143](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0143.mediawiki), [BIP -144](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0144.mediawiki), and [BIP -145](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0145.mediawiki) are -finished and included in this release. However, BIP 141 does not yet specify -activation parameters on mainnet, and so this release does not support segwit -use on mainnet. Testnet use is supported, and after BIP 141 is updated with -proposed parameters, a future release of Bitcoin Core is expected that -implements those parameters for mainnet. - -Furthermore, because segwit activation is not yet specified for mainnet, -version 0.13.0 will behave similarly as other pre-segwit releases even after a -future activation of BIP 141 on the network. Upgrading from 0.13.0 will be -required in order to utilize segwit-related features on mainnet (such as signal -BIP 141 activation, mine segwit blocks, fully validate segwit blocks, relay -segwit blocks to other segwit nodes, and use segwit transactions in the -wallet, etc). - - -Mining transaction selection ("Child Pays For Parent") ------------------------------------------------------- - -The mining transaction selection algorithm has been replaced with an algorithm -that selects transactions based on their feerate inclusive of unconfirmed -ancestor transactions. This means that a low-fee transaction can become more -likely to be selected if a high-fee transaction that spends its outputs is -relayed. - -With this change, the `-blockminsize` command line option has been removed. - -The command line option `-blockmaxsize` remains an option to specify the -maximum number of serialized bytes in a generated block. In addition, the new -command line option `-blockmaxweight` has been added, which specifies the -maximum "block weight" of a generated block, as defined by [BIP 141 (Segregated -Witness)] (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki). - -In preparation for Segregated Witness, the mining algorithm has been modified -to optimize transaction selection for a given block weight, rather than a given -number of serialized bytes in a block. In this release, transaction selection -is unaffected by this distinction (as BIP 141 activation is not supported on -mainnet in this release, see above), but in future releases and after BIP 141 -activation, these calculations would be expected to differ. - -For optimal runtime performance, miners using this release should specify -`-blockmaxweight` on the command line, and not specify `-blockmaxsize`. -Additionally (or only) specifying `-blockmaxsize`, or relying on default -settings for both, may result in performance degradation, as the logic to -support `-blockmaxsize` performs additional computation to ensure that -constraint is met. (Note that for mainnet, in this release, the equivalent -parameter for `-blockmaxweight` would be four times the desired -`-blockmaxsize`. See [BIP 141] -(https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki) for additional -details.) - -In the future, the `-blockmaxsize` option may be removed, as block creation is -no longer optimized for this metric. Feedback is requested on whether to -deprecate or keep this command line option in future releases. - - -Reindexing changes ------------------- - -In earlier versions, reindexing did validation while reading through the block -files on disk. These two have now been split up, so that all blocks are known -before validation starts. This was necessary to make certain optimizations that -are available during normal synchronizations also available during reindexing. - -The two phases are distinct in the Bitcoin-Qt GUI. During the first one, -"Reindexing blocks on disk" is shown. During the second (slower) one, -"Processing blocks on disk" is shown. - -It is possible to only redo validation now, without rebuilding the block index, -using the command line option `-reindex-chainstate` (in addition to -`-reindex` which does both). This new option is useful when the blocks on disk -are assumed to be fine, but the chainstate is still corrupted. It is also -useful for benchmarks. - - -Removal of internal miner --------------------------- - -As CPU mining has been useless for a long time, the internal miner has been -removed in this release, and replaced with a simpler implementation for the -test framework. - -The overall result of this is that `setgenerate` RPC call has been removed, as -well as the `-gen` and `-genproclimit` command-line options. - -For testing, the `generate` call can still be used to mine a block, and a new -RPC call `generatetoaddress` has been added to mine to a specific address. This -works with wallet disabled. - - -New bytespersigop implementation --------------------------------- - -The former implementation of the bytespersigop filter accidentally broke bare -multisig (which is meant to be controlled by the `permitbaremultisig` option), -since the consensus protocol always counts these older transaction forms as 20 -sigops for backwards compatibility. Simply fixing this bug by counting more -accurately would have reintroduced a vulnerability. It has therefore been -replaced with a new implementation that rather than filter such transactions, -instead treats them (for fee purposes only) as if they were in fact the size -of a transaction actually using all 20 sigops. - - -Low-level P2P changes ----------------------- - -- 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) - -- The P2P alert system has been removed in PR #7692 and the `alert` P2P message - is no longer supported. - -- The transaction relay mechanism used to relay one quarter of all transactions - instantly, while queueing up the rest and sending them out in batch. As - this resulted in chains of dependent transactions being reordered, it - systematically hurt transaction relay. The relay code was redesigned in PRs - \#7840 and #8082, and now always batches transactions announcements while also - sorting them according to dependency order. This significantly reduces orphan - transactions. To compensate for the removal of instant relay, the frequency of - batch sending was doubled for outgoing peers. - -- Since PR #7840 the BIP35 `mempool` command is also subject to batch processing. - Also the `mempool` message is no longer handled for non-whitelisted peers when - `NODE_BLOOM` is disabled through `-peerbloomfilters=0`. - -- The maximum size of orphan transactions that are kept in memory until their - ancestors arrive has been raised in PR #8179 from 5000 to 99999 bytes. They - are now also removed from memory when they are included in a block, conflict - with a block, and time out after 20 minutes. - -- We respond at most once to a getaddr request during the lifetime of a - connection since PR #7856. - -- Connections to peers who have recently been the first one to give us a valid - new block or transaction are protected from disconnections since PR #8084. - - -Low-level RPC changes ----------------------- - -- RPC calls have been added to output detailed statistics for individual mempool - entries, as well as to calculate the in-mempool ancestors or descendants of a - transaction: see `getmempoolentry`, `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants`. - -- `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. - -- Full UTF-8 support in the RPC API. Non-ASCII characters in, for example, - wallet labels have always been malformed because they weren't taken into account - properly in JSON RPC processing. This is no longer the case. This also affects - the GUI debug console. - -- Asm script outputs replacements for OP_NOP2 and OP_NOP3 - - - OP_NOP2 has been renamed to OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY by [BIP -65](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki) - - - OP_NOP3 has been renamed to OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY by [BIP -112](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.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` - -- The sorting of the output of the `getrawmempool` output has changed. - -- New RPC commands: `generatetoaddress`, `importprunedfunds`, `removeprunedfunds`, `signmessagewithprivkey`, - `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants`, `getmempoolentry`, - `createwitnessaddress`, `addwitnessaddress`. - -- Removed RPC commands: `setgenerate`, `getgenerate`. - -- New options were added to `fundrawtransaction`: `includeWatching`, `changeAddress`, `changePosition` and `feeRate`. - - -Low-level ZMQ changes ----------------------- - -- 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.
