-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Bitcoin Core version *0.15.2* is now available from:
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.15.2/> or through bittorrent: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c0a23591e04ce45dd6349f3abc34df948c45537c&dn=bitcoin-core-0.15.2&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fzer0day.ch%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexplodie.org%3A6969 This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub: <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues> To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to: <https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/> 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). The first time you run version 0.15.0 or higher, your chainstate database will be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine. The file format of `fee_estimates.dat` changed in version 0.15.0. Hence, a downgrade from version 0.15 or upgrade to version 0.15 will cause all fee estimates to be discarded. Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported. However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported. Downgrading warning - ------------------- The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate` option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format. If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and processing the entire blockchain. Compatibility ============== Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported. Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not frequently tested on them. Notable changes =============== Denial-of-Service vulnerability CVE-2018-17144 - ------------------------------- A denial-of-service vulnerability exploitable by miners has been discovered in Bitcoin Core versions 0.14.0 up to 0.16.2. It is recommended to upgrade any of the vulnerable versions to 0.15.2 or 0.16.3 as soon as possible. 0.15.2 Change log ================= ### Build system - - #11995 `9bb1a16` depends: Fix Qt build with XCode 9.2(fanquake) - - #12946 `93b9a61` depends: Fix Qt build with XCode 9.3(fanquake) - - #13544 `9fd3e00` depends: Update Qt download url (fanquake) - - #11847 `cb7ef31` Make boost::multi_index comparators const (sdaftuar) ### Consensus - - #14247 `4b8a3f5` Fix crash bug with duplicate inputs within a transaction (TheBlueMatt, sdaftuar) ### RPC - - #11676 `7af2457` contrib/init: Update openrc-run filename (Luke Dashjr) - - #11277 `7026845` Fix uninitialized URI in batch RPC requests (Russell Yanofsky) ### Wallet - - #11289 `3f1db56` Wrap dumpwallet warning and note scripts aren't dumped (MeshCollider) - - #11289 `42ea47d` Add wallet backup text to import*, add* and dumpwallet RPCs (MeshCollider) - - #11590 `6372a75` [Wallet] always show help-line of wallet encryption calls (Jonas Schnelli) ### bitcoin-tx - - #11554 `a69cc07` Sanity-check script sizes in bitcoin-tx (TheBlueMatt) ### Tests - - #11277 `3a6cdd4` Add test for multiwallet batch RPC calls (Russell Yanofsky) - - #11647 `1c8c7f8` Add missing batch rpc calls to python coverage logs (Russell Yanofsky) - - #11277 `1036c43` Add missing multiwallet rpc calls to python coverage logs (Russell Yanofsky) - - #11277 `305f768` Limit AuthServiceProxyWrapper.\_\_getattr\_\_ wrapping (Russell Yanofsky) - - #11277 `2eea279` Make AuthServiceProxy.\_batch method usable (Russell Yanofsky) Credits ======= Thanks to everyone who directly contributed to this release: - - fanquake - - Jonas Schnelli - - Luke Dashjr - - Matt Corallo - - MeshCollider - - Russell Yanofsky - - Suhas Daftuar - - Wladimir J. van der Laan And to those that reported security issues: - - awemany (for CVE-2018-17144, previously credited as "anonymous reporter") -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEnerg3HBjJJ+wVHRoHkrtYphs0l0FAluuSdQACgkQHkrtYphs 0l30rwgApv6HCvWRnKCfoXTYjIFaBXoxFU8/SPlms/3YYvc5JF8/+DeVXfYgd1nW Mgw1j0I3m52Am5JmV368uSpbfQYoUSUkWuZX62al9AXC8EBEbqPBWkeIJgvD3cpS vZC3kpwphR7jS7Rt7HK1+IZl6sgA9iGD2ZlWZ2AjRdUM3/GZ0RrziMG7IVLeG0oh CjUDqle4Ws/YyvSNcbLHWKzwW+bHmihVm4Xy+h9086tM11t9EkN0m3i5YoELipjW keYX/y8a43wbzE15DX7bJNRJjjITLty0rQxxWuMvoHOix4xvDs1UYiYxtfoYSOnf uqh1/mCkDwF7hiFb0ZxcgXdw3W2WoA== =b4Fn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
