Package: bitcoin-qt Version: 0.8.5-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Bitcoin-QT 0.8.6 has been released upstream. The release notes indicate "This is a maintenance release to fix a critical bug; we urge all users to upgrade." http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.6/ 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). If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run 0.8.6 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine. 0.8.6 Release notes =================== - Default block size increase for miners. (see https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/7670433#086-accept-into-block) - Remove the all-outputs-must-be-greater-than-CENT-to-qualify-as-free rule for relaying (see https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/7670433#086-relaying) - Lower maximum size for free transaction creation (see https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/7670433#086-wallet) - OSX block chain database corruption fixes - Update leveldb to 1.13 - Use fcntl with `F_FULLSYNC` instead of fsync on OSX - Use native Darwin memory barriers - Replace use of mmap in leveldb for improved reliability (only on OSX) - Fix nodes forwarding transactions with empty vins and getting banned - Network code performance and robustness improvements - Additional debug.log logging for diagnosis of network problems, log timestamps by default - Fix Bitcoin-Qt startup crash when clicking dock icon on OSX - Fix memory leaks in CKey::SetCompactSignature() and Key::SignCompact() - Fix rare GUI crash on send - Various small GUI, documentation and build fixes Warning ------- - There have been frequent reports of users running out of virtual memory on 32-bit systems during the initial sync. Hence it is recommended to use a 64-bit executable if possible. A 64-bit executable for Windows is planned for 0.9. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bitcoin-qt depends on: ii libboost-filesystem1.54.0 1.54.0-3 ii libboost-program-options1.54.0 1.54.0-3 ii libboost-system1.54.0 1.54.0-3 ii libboost-thread1.54.0 1.54.0-3 ii libc6 2.17-96 ii libdb5.1++ 5.1.29-7 ii libgcc1 1:4.8.2-5 ii libminiupnpc5 1.5-2 ii libqrencode3 3.4.2-1 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.8.5+git121-g2a9ea11+dfsg1-2 ii libqt4-network 4:4.8.5+git121-g2a9ea11+dfsg1-2 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.5+git121-g2a9ea11+dfsg1-2 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.5+git121-g2a9ea11+dfsg1-2 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1e-4 ii libstdc++6 4.8.2-5 bitcoin-qt recommends no packages. bitcoin-qt suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
