Bitcoin Core version 0.10.1 is now available from:
|
||||
|
||||
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.10.1/>
|
||||
|
||||
This is a new minor version release, bringing bug fixes and translation
|
||||
updates. It is recommended to upgrade to this version.
|
||||
|
||||
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

Upgrading and downgrading
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
How to Upgrade
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
|
||||
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
|
||||
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or
|
||||
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
|
||||
|
||||
Downgrade warning
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Because release 0.10.0 and later makes use of headers-first synchronization and
|
||||
parallel block download (see further), the block files and databases are not
|
||||
backwards-compatible with pre-0.10 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software:
|
||||
|
||||
* Blocks will be stored on disk out of order (in the order they are
|
||||
received, really), which makes it incompatible with some tools or
|
||||
other programs. Reindexing using earlier versions will also not work
|
||||
anymore as a result of this.
|
||||
|
||||
* The block index database will now hold headers for which no block is
|
||||
stored on disk, which earlier versions won't support.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to be able to downgrade smoothly, make a backup of your entire data
|
||||
directory. Without this your node will need start syncing (or importing from
|
||||
bootstrap.dat) anew afterwards. It is possible that the data from a completely
|
||||
synchronised 0.10 node may be usable in older versions as-is, but this is not
|
||||
supported and may break as soon as the older version attempts to reindex.
|
||||
|
||||
This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||

Bitcoin Core version 0.9.4 is now available from:
|
||||
|
||||
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.4/
|
||||
|
||||
This is a new minor version release, bringing only bug fixes and updated
|
||||
translations. Upgrading to this release is recommended.
|

|
||||
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the

|
||||
|
||||
OpenSSL Warning
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k was recently released and is being pushed out by
|
||||
various operating system maintainers. Review by Gregory Maxwell determined that
|
||||
this update is incompatible with the Bitcoin system and could lead to consensus
|
||||
forks.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core released binaries from https://bitcoin.org are unaffected,
|
||||
as are any built with the gitian deterministic build system.
|
||||
|
||||
However, if you are running either
|
||||
|
||||
- The Ubuntu PPA from https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin
|
||||
- A third-party or self-compiled Bitcoin Core
|
||||
|
||||
upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.9.4, which includes a workaround, **before** updating
|
||||
OpenSSL.
|
||||
|
||||
The incompatibility is due to the OpenSSL update changing the
|
||||
behavior of ECDSA validation to reject any signature which is
|
||||
not encoded in a very rigid manner. This was a result of
|
||||
OpenSSL's change for CVE-2014-8275 "Certificate fingerprints
|
||||
can be modified".
|
||||
|
||||
We are specifically aware of potential hard-forks due to signature
|
||||
encoding handling and had been hoping to close them via BIP62 in 0.10.
|
||||
BIP62's purpose is to improve transaction malleability handling and
|
||||
as a side effect rigidly defines the encoding for signatures, but the
|
||||
overall scope of BIP62 has made it take longer than we'd like to
|
||||
deploy.
|
||||
|
||||
