2.1 KiB

(note: this is a temporary file, to be added-to by anybody, and moved to release-notes at release time)

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.

P2P protocol and network code

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
