Notable changes =============== -Mining ------- -- Calls to `getblocktemplate` will fail if the segwit rule is not - specified. Calling `getblocktemplate` without segwit specified is - almost certainly a misconfiguration since doing so results in lower - rewards for the miner. Failed calls will produce an error message - describing how to enable the segwit rule. - -Configuration option changes ----------------------------- - -- A warning is printed if an unrecognized section name is used in the - configuration file. Recognized sections are `[test]`, `[main]`, and - `[regtest]`. - -- Four new options are available for configuring the maximum number of - messages that ZMQ will queue in memory (the "high water mark") before - dropping additional messages. The default value is 1,000, the same as - was used for previous releases. See the [ZMQ - documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/zmq.md#usage) - for details. - -- The `rpcallowip` option can no longer be used to automatically listen - on all network interfaces. Instead, the `rpcbind` parameter must be - used to specify the IP addresses to listen on. Listening for RPC - commands over a public network connection is insecure and should be - disabled, so a warning is now printed if a user selects such a - configuration. If you need to expose RPC in order to use a tool like - Docker, ensure you only bind RPC to your localhost, e.g. `docker run - [...] -p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332` (this is an extra `:8332` over the - normal Docker port specification). - -- The `rpcpassword` option now causes a startup error if the password - set in the configuration file contains a hash character (#), as it's - ambiguous whether the hash character is meant for the password or as a - comment. - -- The `whitelistforcerelay` option is used to relay transactions from - whitelisted peers even when not accepted to the mempool. This option - now defaults to being off, so that changes in policy and - disconnect/ban behavior will not cause a node that is whitelisting - another to be dropped by peers. Users can still explicitly enable - this behavior with the command line option (and may want to consider - [contacting](https://bitcoincore.org/en/contact/) the Bitcoin Core - project to let us know about their use-case, as this feature could be - deprecated in the future). - -systemd init file ------------------ - -The systemd init file (`contrib/init/bitcoind.service`) has been changed -to use `/var/lib/bitcoind` as the data directory instead of -`~bitcoin/.bitcoin`. This change makes Bitcoin Core more consistent with -other services, and makes the systemd init config more consistent with -existing Upstart and OpenRC configs. - -The configuration, PID, and data directories are now completely managed -by systemd, which will take care of their creation, permissions, etc. -See [`systemd.exec(5)`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#RuntimeDirectory=) -for more details. - -When using the provided init files under `contrib/init`, overriding the -`datadir` option in `/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf` will have no effect. -This is because the command line arguments specified in the init files -take precedence over the options specified in -`/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`. - - -Documentation -------------- - -- A new short [document](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md) - about the JSON-RPC interface describes cases where the results of an - RPC might contain inconsistencies between data sourced from different - subsystems, such as wallet state and mempool state. A note is added - to the [REST interface documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/REST-interface.md) - indicating that the same rules apply. - -- Further information is added to the [JSON-RPC - documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md) - about how to secure this interface. - -- A new [document](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/bitcoin-conf.md) - about the `bitcoin.conf` file describes how to use it to configure - Bitcoin Core. - -- A new document introduces Bitcoin Core's BIP174 [Partially-Signed - Bitcoin Transactions - (PSBT)](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/psbt.md) - interface, which is used to allow multiple programs to collaboratively - work to create, sign, and broadcast new transactions. This is useful - for offline (cold storage) wallets, multisig wallets, coinjoin - implementations, and many other cases where two or more programs need - to interact to generate a complete transaction. - -- The [output script - descriptor](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md) - documentation has been updated with information about new features in - this still-developing language for describing the output scripts that - a wallet or other program wants to receive notifications for, such as - which addresses it wants to know received payments. The language is - currently used in multiple new and updated RPCs described in these - release notes and is expected to be adapted to other RPCs and to the - underlying wallet structure. - -Build system changes --------------------- - -- A new `--disable-bip70` option may be passed to `./configure` to - prevent Bitcoin-Qt from being built with support for the BIP70 payment - protocol or from linking libssl. As the payment protocol has exposed - Bitcoin Core to libssl vulnerabilities in the past, builders who don't - need BIP70 support are encouraged to use this option to reduce their - exposure to future vulnerabilities. - -- The minimum required version of Qt (when building the GUI) has been - increased from 5.2 to 5.5.1 (the [depends - system](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/depends/README.md) - provides 5.9.7) - -New RPCs --------- - -- `getnodeaddresses` returns peer addresses known to this node. It may - be used to find nodes to connect to without using a DNS seeder. - -- `listwalletdir` returns a list of wallets in the wallet directory - (either the default wallet directory or the directory configured by - the `-walletdir` parameter). - -- `getrpcinfo` returns runtime details of the RPC server. At the moment, - it returns an array of the currently active commands and how long - they've been running. - -- `deriveaddresses` returns one or more addresses corresponding to an - [output descriptor](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md). - -- `getdescriptorinfo` accepts a descriptor and returns information about - it, including its computed checksum. - -- `joinpsbts` merges multiple distinct PSBTs into a single PSBT. The - multiple PSBTs must have different inputs. The resulting PSBT will - contain every input and output from all of the PSBTs. Any signatures - provided in any of the PSBTs will be dropped. - -- `analyzepsbt` examines a PSBT and provides information about what - the PSBT contains and the next steps that need to be taken in order - to complete the transaction. For each input of a PSBT, `analyzepsbt` - provides information about what information is missing for that - input, including whether a UTXO needs to be provided, what pubkeys - still need to be provided, which scripts need to be provided, and - what signatures are still needed. Every input will also list which - role is needed to complete that input, and `analyzepsbt` will also - list the next role in general needed to complete the PSBT. - `analyzepsbt` will also provide the estimated fee rate and estimated - virtual size of the completed transaction if it has enough - information to do so. - -- `utxoupdatepsbt` searches the set of Unspent Transaction Outputs - (UTXOs) to find the outputs being spent by the partial transaction. - PSBTs need to have the UTXOs being spent to be provided because - the signing algorithm requires information from the UTXO being spent. - For segwit inputs, only the UTXO itself is necessary. For - non-segwit outputs, the entire previous transaction is needed so - that signers can be sure that they are signing the correct thing. - Unfortunately, because the UTXO set only contains UTXOs and not full - transactions, `utxoupdatepsbt` will only add the UTXO for segwit - inputs. - -Updated RPCs ------------- - -Note: some low-level RPC changes mainly useful for testing are described -in the Low-level Changes section below. - -- `getpeerinfo` now returns an additional `minfeefilter` field set to - the peer's BIP133 fee filter. You can use this to detect that you - have peers that are willing to accept transactions below the default - minimum relay fee. - -- The mempool RPCs, such as `getrawmempool` with `verbose=true`, now - return an additional "bip125-replaceable" value indicating whether the - transaction (or its unconfirmed ancestors) opts-in to asking nodes and - miners to replace it with a higher-feerate transaction spending any of - the same inputs. - -- `settxfee` previously silently ignored attempts to set the fee below - the allowed minimums. It now prints a warning. The special value of - "0" may still be used to request the minimum value. - -- `getaddressinfo` now provides an `ischange` field indicating whether - the wallet used the address in a change output. - -- `importmulti` has been updated to support P2WSH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH, - and P2SH-P2WSH. Requests for P2WSH and P2SH-P2WSH accept an additional - `witnessscript` parameter. - -- `importmulti` now returns an additional `warnings` field for each - request with an array of strings explaining when fields are being - ignored or are inconsistent, if there are any. - -- `getaddressinfo` now returns an additional `solvable` boolean field - when Bitcoin Core knows enough about the address's scriptPubKey, - optional redeemScript, and optional witnessScript in order for the - wallet to be able to generate an unsigned input spending funds sent to - that address. - -- The `getaddressinfo`, `listunspent`, and `scantxoutset` RPCs now - return an additional `desc` field that contains an output descriptor - containing all key paths and signing information for the address - (except for the private key). The `desc` field is only returned for - `getaddressinfo` and `listunspent` when the address is solvable. - -- `importprivkey` will preserve previously-set labels for addresses or - public keys corresponding to the private key being imported. For - example, if you imported a watch-only address with the label "cold - wallet" in earlier releases of Bitcoin Core, subsequently importing - the private key would default to resetting the address's label to the - default empty-string label (""). In this release, the previous label - of "cold wallet" will be retained. If you optionally specify any - label besides the default when calling `importprivkey`, the new label - will be applied to the address. - -- See the [Mining](#mining) section for changes to `getblocktemplate`. - -- `getmininginfo` now omits `currentblockweight` and `currentblocktx` - when a block was never assembled via RPC on this node. - -- The `getrawtransaction` RPC & REST endpoints no longer check the - unspent UTXO set for a transaction. The remaining behaviors are as - follows: 1. If a blockhash is provided, check the corresponding block. - 2. If no blockhash is provided, check the mempool. 3. If no blockhash - is provided but txindex is enabled, also check txindex. - -- `unloadwallet` is now synchronous, meaning it will not return until - the wallet is fully unloaded. - -- `importmulti` now supports importing of addresses from descriptors. A - "desc" parameter can be provided instead of the "scriptPubKey" in a - request, as well as an optional range for ranged descriptors to - specify the start and end of the range to import. Descriptors with key - origin information imported through `importmulti` will have their key - origin information stored in the wallet for use with creating PSBTs. - More information about descriptors can be found - [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md). - -- `listunspent` has been modified so that it also returns - `witnessScript`, the witness script in the case of a P2WSH or - P2SH-P2WSH output. - -- `createwallet` now has an optional `blank` argument that can be used - to create a blank wallet. Blank wallets do not have any keys or HD - seed. They cannot be opened in software older than 0.18. Once a blank - wallet has a HD seed set (by using `sethdseed`) or private keys, - scripts, addresses, and other watch only things have been imported, - the wallet is no longer blank and can be opened in 0.17.x. Encrypting - a blank wallet will also set a HD seed for it. - -Deprecated or removed RPCs --------------------------- - -- `signrawtransaction` is removed after being deprecated and hidden - behind a special configuration option in version 0.17.0. - -- The 'account' API is removed after being deprecated in v0.17. The - 'label' API was introduced in v0.17 as a replacement for accounts. - See the [release notes from - v0.17](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.17.0.md#label-and-account-apis-for-wallet) - for a full description of the changes from the 'account' API to the - 'label' API. - -- `addwitnessaddress` is removed after being deprecated in version - 0.16.0. - -- `generate` is deprecated and will be fully removed in a subsequent - major version. This RPC is only used for testing, but its - implementation reached across multiple subsystems (wallet and mining), - so it is being deprecated to simplify the wallet-node interface. - Projects that are using `generate` for testing purposes should - transition to using the `generatetoaddress` RPC, which does not - require or use the wallet component. Calling `generatetoaddress` with - an address returned by the `getnewaddress` RPC gives the same - functionality as the old `generate` RPC. To continue using `generate` - in this version, restart bitcoind with the `-deprecatedrpc=generate` - configuration option. - -- Be reminded that parts of the `validateaddress` command have been - deprecated and moved to `getaddressinfo`. The following deprecated - fields have moved to `getaddressinfo`: `ismine`, `iswatchonly`, - `script`, `hex`, `pubkeys`, `sigsrequired`, `pubkey`, `embedded`, - `iscompressed`, `label`, `timestamp`, `hdkeypath`, `hdmasterkeyid`. - -- The `addresses` field has been removed from the `validateaddress` - and `getaddressinfo` RPC methods. This field was confusing since - it referred to public keys using their P2PKH address. Clients - should use the `embedded.address` field for P2SH or P2WSH wrapped - addresses, and `pubkeys` for inspecting multisig participants. - -REST changes ------------- - -- A new `/rest/blockhashbyheight/` endpoint is added for fetching the - hash of the block in the current best blockchain based on its height - (how many blocks it is after the Genesis Block). - -Graphical User Interface (GUI) ------------------------------- - -- A new Window menu is added alongside the existing File, Settings, and - Help menus. Several items from the other menus that opened new - windows have been moved to this new Window menu. - -- In the Send tab, the checkbox for "pay only the required fee" has been - removed. Instead, the user can simply decrease the value in the - Custom Feerate field all the way down to the node's configured minimum - relay fee. - -- In the Overview tab, the watch-only balance will be the only balance - shown if the wallet was created using the `createwallet` RPC and the - `disable_private_keys` parameter was set to true. - -- The launch-on-startup option is no longer available on macOS if - compiled with macosx min version greater than 10.11 (use - CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" - CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" for setting the deployment sdk - version) - -Tools ------ - -- A new `bitcoin-wallet` tool is now distributed alongside Bitcoin - Core's other executables. Without needing to use any RPCs, this tool - can currently create a new wallet file or display some basic - information about an existing wallet, such as whether the wallet is - encrypted, whether it uses an HD seed, how many transactions it - contains, and how many address book entries it has. - -Planned changes -=============== - -This section describes planned changes to Bitcoin Core that may affect -other Bitcoin software and services. - -- Since version 0.16.0, Bitcoin Core’s built-in wallet has defaulted to - generating P2SH-wrapped segwit addresses when users want to receive - payments. These addresses are backwards compatible with all - widely-used software. Starting with Bitcoin Core 0.20 (expected about - a year after 0.18), Bitcoin Core will default to native segwit - addresses (bech32) that provide additional fee savings and other - benefits. Currently, many wallets and services already support sending - to bech32 addresses, and if the Bitcoin Core project sees enough - additional adoption, it will instead default to bech32 receiving - addresses in Bitcoin Core 0.19 (approximately November 2019). - P2SH-wrapped segwit addresses will continue to be provided if the user - requests them in the GUI or by RPC, and anyone who doesn’t want the - update will be able to configure their default address type. - (Similarly, pioneering users who want to change their default now may - set the `addresstype=bech32` configuration option in any Bitcoin Core - release from 0.16.0 up.) - -Deprecated P2P messages ------------------------ - -- BIP 61 reject messages are now deprecated. Reject messages have no use - case on the P2P network and are only logged for debugging by most - network nodes. Furthermore, they increase bandwidth and can be harmful - for privacy and security. It has been possible to disable BIP 61 - messages since v0.17 with the `-enablebip61=0` option. BIP 61 messages - will be disabled by default in a future version, before being removed - entirely. - -Low-level changes -================= - -This section describes RPC changes mainly useful for testing, mostly not -relevant in production. The changes are mentioned for completeness. - -RPC ---- - -- The `submitblock` RPC previously returned the reason a rejected block - was invalid the first time it processed that block, but returned a - generic "duplicate" rejection message on subsequent occasions it - processed the same block. It now always returns the fundamental - reason for rejecting an invalid block and only returns "duplicate" for - valid blocks it has already accepted. - -- A new `submitheader` RPC allows submitting block headers independently - from their block. This is likely only useful for testing. - -- The `signrawtransactionwithkey` and `signrawtransactionwithwallet` - RPCs have been modified so that they also optionally accept a - `witnessScript`, the witness script in the case of a P2WSH or - P2SH-P2WSH output. This is compatible with the change to - `listunspent`. - -- For the `walletprocesspsbt` and `walletcreatefundedpsbt` RPCs, if the - `bip32derivs` parameter is set to true but the key metadata for a - public key has not been updated yet, then that key will have a - derivation path as if it were just an independent key (i.e. no - derivation path and its master fingerprint is itself). - -Configuration -------------- - -- The `-usehd` configuration option was removed in version 0.16. From - that version onwards, all new wallets created are hierarchical - deterministic wallets. This release makes specifying `-usehd` an - invalid configuration option. - -Network -------- - -- This release allows peers that your node automatically disconnected - for misbehavior (e.g. sending invalid data) to reconnect to your node - if you have unused incoming connection slots. If your slots fill up, - a misbehaving node will be disconnected to make room for nodes without - a history of problems (unless the misbehaving node helps your node in - some other way, such as by connecting to a part of the Internet from - which you don't have many other peers). Previously, Bitcoin Core - banned the IP addresses of misbehaving peers for a period of time - (default of 1 day); this was easily circumvented by attackers with - multiple IP addresses. If you manually ban a peer, such as by using - the `setban` RPC, all connections from that peer will still be - rejected. - -Wallet -------- - -- The key metadata will need to be upgraded the first time that the HD - seed is available. For unencrypted wallets this will occur on wallet - loading. For encrypted wallets this will occur the first time the - wallet is unlocked. - -- Newly encrypted wallets will no longer require restarting the - software. Instead such wallets will be completely unloaded and - reloaded to achieve the same effect. - -- A sub-project of Bitcoin Core now provides Hardware Wallet Interaction - (HWI) scripts that allow command-line users to use several popular - hardware key management devices with Bitcoin Core. See their [project - page](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI#readme) for details. - -Security --------- - -- This release changes the Random Number Generator (RNG) used from - OpenSSL to Bitcoin Core's own implementation, although entropy - gathered by Bitcoin Core is fed out to OpenSSL and then read back in - when the program needs strong randomness. This moves Bitcoin Core a - little closer to no longer needing to depend on OpenSSL, a dependency - that has caused security issues in the past. The new implementation - gathers entropy from multiple sources, including from hardware - supporting the rdseed CPU instruction. - -Changes for particular platforms --------------------------------- - -- On macOS, Bitcoin Core now opts out of application CPU throttling - ("app nap") during initial blockchain download, when catching up from - over 100 blocks behind the current chain tip, or when reindexing chain - data. This helps prevent these operations from taking an excessively - long time because the operating system is attempting to conserve - power. - -0.18.0 change log +0.18.x change log ================= -### Consensus -- #14247 Fix crash bug with duplicate inputs within a transaction (TheBlueMatt) - -### Mining -- #14811 Mining: Enforce that segwit option must be set in GBT (jnewbery) - -### Block and transaction handling -- #13310 Report progress in ReplayBlocks while rolling forward (promag) -- #13783 validation: Pass tx pool reference into CheckSequenceLocks (MarcoFalke) -- #14834 validation: Assert that pindexPrev is non-null when required (kallewoof) -- #14085 index: Fix for indexers skipping genesis block (jimpo) -- #14963 mempool, validation: Explain `cs_main` locking semantics (MarcoFalke) -- #15193 Default `-whitelistforcerelay` to off (sdaftuar) -- #15429 Update `assumevalid`, `minimumchainwork`, and `getchaintxstats` to height 563378 (gmaxwell) -- #15552 Granular invalidateblock and RewindBlockIndex (MarcoFalke) -- #14841 Move CheckBlock() call to critical section (hebasto) - -### P2P protocol and network code -- #14025 Remove dead code for nVersion=10300 (MarcoFalke) -- #12254 BIP 158: Compact Block Filters for Light Clients (jimpo) -- #14073 blockfilter: Avoid out-of-bounds script access (jimpo) -- #14140 Switch nPrevNodeCount to vNodesSize (pstratem) -- #14027 Skip stale tip checking if outbound connections are off or if reindexing (gmaxwell) -- #14532 Never bind `INADDR_ANY` by default, and warn when doing so explicitly (luke-jr) -- #14733 Make peer timeout configurable, speed up very slow test and ensure correct code path tested (zallarak) -- #14336 Implement poll (pstratem) -- #15051 IsReachable is the inverse of IsLimited (DRY).
