Also never store invalid transactions at all. +Fix possible buffer overflow on systems with very long application data paths. This is not exploitable. +Resolved multiple bugs preventing long-term unlocking of encrypted wallets (issue #922). +Only send local IP in "version" messages if it is globally routable (ie, not private), and try to get such an IP from UPnP if applicable. +Reannounce UPnP port forwards every 20 minutes, to workaround routers expiring old entries, and allow the -upnp option to override any stored setting. +Various memory leaks and potential null pointer deferences have been +fixed. +Several shutdown issues have been fixed. +Check that keys stored in the wallet are valid at startup, and if not, +report corruption. +Various build fixes. +If no password is specified to bitcoind, recommend a secure password. +Update hard-coded fallback seed nodes, choosing recent ones with long uptime and versions at least 0.4.0. +Add checkpoint at block 168,000. + |
