Bitcoin Improvement Proposals implemented |
|
----------------------------------------- |
|
BIP 22 - 'getblocktemplate', 'submitblock' RPCs |
|
BIP 34 - block version 2, height in coinbase |
|
BIP 35 - 'mempool' message, extended 'getdata' message behavior |
|
|

Core bitcoin handling and blockchain database |
|
--------------------------------------------- |
|
* Reduced CPU usage, by eliminating some redundant hash calculations |
|
* Cache signature verifications, to eliminate redundant signature checks |
|
* Transactions with zero-value outputs are considered non-standard |
|
* Mining: when creating new blocks, sort 'paid' area by fee-per-kb |
|
* Database: better validation of on-disk stored data |
|
* Database: minor optimizations and reliability improvements |
|
* -loadblock=FILE will import an external block file |
|
* Additional DoS prevention measures |
|
|
|
|
|
JSON-RPC API |
|
------------ |
|
* Internal HTTP server is now thread-per-connection, rather than |
|
a single-threaded queue that would stall on network I/O. |
|
* Internal HTTP server supports HTTP/1.1, pipelined requests and |
|
connection keep-alive. |
|
* Support JSON-RPC 2.0 batches, to encapsulate multiple JSON-RPC requests |
|
within a single HTTP request. |
|
* IPv6 support |
|
* Added raw transaction API. See https://gist.github.com/2839617 |
|
* Added 'getrawmempool', to list contents of TX memory pool |
|
* Added 'getpeerinfo', to list data about each connected network peer |
|
* Added 'listaddressgroupings' for better coin control |
|
* Rework gettransaction, getblock calls. 'gettransaction' responds for |
|
non-wallet TXs now. |
|
* Remove deprecated RPC 'getblocknumber' |
|
* New blockchain checkpoint at block 193,000 |
|
* listtransactions output now displays "smart" times for transactions, |
|
and 'blocktime' and 'timereceived' fields were added |
|
|
|
|
|
P2P networking |
|
-------------- |
|
* IPv6 support |
|
* Tor hidden service support |
|
* Attempts to fix "stuck blockchain download" problems |
|
* Replace BDB database "addr.dat" with internally-managed "peers.dat" |
|
file containing peer address data. |
|
* Lower default send buffer from 10MB to 1MB |
|
* proxy: SOCKS5 by default |
|
* Support connecting by hostnames passed to proxy (-proxydns) |
|
* Add -seednode connections, and use this for -dnsseed + -proxydns |
|
* Added -externalip and -discover |
|
* Add -onlynet to connect only to a given network (IPv4, IPv6, or Tor) |
|
* Separate listening sockets, -bind=<addr> |
|
|
|
|
|
Qt GUI |
|
------ |
|
* Add UI RPC console / debug window |
|
* Re-Enable URI handling on Windows, add safety checks and tray-notifications |
|
* Harmonize the use of ellipsis ("...") to be used in menus, but not on buttons |
|
* Add 2 labels to the overviewpage that display Wallet and Transaction status (obsolete or current) |
|
* Extend the optionsdialog (e.g. language selection) and re-work it to a tabbed UI |
|
* Merge sign/verify message into a single window with tabbed UI |
|
* Ensure a changed bitcoin unit immediately updates all GUI elements that use units |
|
* Update QR Code dialog |
|
* Improve error reporting at startup |
|
* Fine-grained UI updates for a much smoother UI during block downloads |
|
* Remove autocorrection of 0/i in addresses in UI |
|
* Reorganize tray icon menu into more logical order |
|
* Persistently poll for balance change when number of blocks changed |
|
* Much better translations |
|
* Override progress bar design on platforms with segmented progress bars to assist with readability |
|
* Added 'immature balance' display on the overview page |
|
* (Windows only): enable ASLR and DEP for bitcoin-qt.exe |
|
* (Windows only): add meta-data to bitcoin-qt.exe (e.g. description) |
|
|
|
Internal codebase |
|
----------------- |
|
* Additional unit tests |
|
* Compile warning fixes |
|
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous |
|
------------- |
|
* Reopen debug.log upon SIGHUP |
|
* Bash programmable completion for bitcoind(1) |
|
* On supported OS's, each thread is given a useful name
