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 only enforced for peer 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. + 0.12.0 Change log ================= |
