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.
