2017-10-26Make listsinceblock refuse unknown block hashRussell Yanofsky
Change suggested by Cory Fields <cory-nospam-@coryfields.com> who noticed listsinceblock would ignore invalid block hashes causing it to return a completely unfiltered list of transactions.
2017-09-26rpc: Prevent `dumpwallet` from overwriting filesWladimir J. van der Laan
Prevent arbitrary files from being overwritten. There have been reports that users have overwritten wallet files this way. It may also avoid other security issues. Fixes #9934. Adds mention to release notes and adds a test.

2017-06-05Replace bytes_serialized with bogosizePieter Wuille
2017-05-26Remove/ignore tx version in utxo and undoPieter Wuille
This makes the following changes: * In undo data and the chainstate database, the transaction nVersion field is removed from the data structures, always written as 0, and ignored when reading. * The definition of hash_serialized in gettxoutsetinfo is changed to no longer incude the nVersion field. It is renamed to hash_serialized_2 to avoid confusion. The new definition also includes transaction height and coinbase information, as this information was missing before. This depends on having a CHashVerifier-based undo data checksum verifier. Apart from changing the definition of serialized_hash, downgrading after using this patch is supported, as no release ever used the value of nVersion field in UTXO entries.

2017-01-15Trim down the XP notice and say more about what we support.Gregory Maxwell
The big notice at the top of the release note is not interesting to most users now and apparently comes across poorly to some. Better to provide more information about what we do support.
2017-01-13Introduce assumevalid setting to skip presumed valid scripts.Gregory Maxwell
This disentangles the script validation skipping from checkpoints. A new option is introduced "assumevalid" which specifies a block whos ancestors we assume all have valid scriptsigs and so we do not check them when they are also burried under the best header by two weeks worth of work. Unlike checkpoints this has no influence on consensus unless you set it to a block with an invalid history. Because of this it can be easily be updated without risk of influencing the network consensus. This results in a massive IBD speedup. This approach was independently recommended by Peter Todd and Luke-Jr since POW based signature skipping (see PR#9180) does not have the verifiable properties of a specific hash and may create bad incentives. The downside is that, like checkpoints, the defaults bitrot and older releases will sync slower. On the plus side users can provide their own value here, and if they set it to something crazy all that will happen is more time will be spend validating signatures. Checkblocks and checklevel are also moved to the hidden debug options: Especially now that checkblocks has a low default there is little need to change these settings, and users frequently misunderstand them as influencing security or IBD speed. By hiding them we offset the space added by this new option.
