It also bumps the protocol +version to allow peers to identify old nodes which allow bloom filtering of the +connection despite lacking the new service bit. + +In this version, it is only enforced for peers that send protocol versions +`>=70011`. For the next major version it is planned that this restriction will be +removed. It is recommended to update SPV clients to check for the `NODE_BLOOM` +service bit for nodes that report versions newer than 70011. + +Merkle branches removed from wallet +----------------------------------- + +Previously, every wallet transaction stored a Merkle branch to prove its +presence in blocks. This wasn't being used for more than an expensive +sanity check. Since 0.12, these are no longer stored. When loading a +0.12 wallet into an older version, it will automatically rescan to avoid +failed checks. + 0.12.0 Change log ================= @@ -98,6 +124,33 @@ git merge commit are mentioned. ### RPC and REST +Asm representations of scriptSig signatures now contain SIGHASH type decodes +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The `asm` property of each scriptSig now contains the decoded signature hash +type for each signature that provides a valid defined hash type. + +The following items contain assembly representations of scriptSig signatures +and are affected by this change: + +- RPC `getrawtransaction` +- RPC `decoderawtransaction` +- REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format) +- REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details) +- `bitcoin-tx -json` + +For example, the `scriptSig.asm` property of a transaction input that +previously showed an assembly representation of: + + 304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c509001 + +now shows as: + + 304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c5090[ALL] + +Note that the output of the RPC `decodescript` did not change because it is +configured specifically to process scriptPubKey and not scriptSig scripts. + ### Configuration and command-line options ### Block and transaction handling |
