# 1.9.4

This release is backwards compatible with the 1.9.x series of bitcoin-s

See the individual module sections for more information on lower level updates to the codebase.

Want to get started quickly? See our `docker-compose.yml` file. [See instructions here](https://github.com/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s/#docker)

If you are a typescript developer, [you can access the backend via our typescript library](https://github.com/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s-ts)

# Executive Summary

This is a bug fix release. In our 1.9.3 release we did not successfully publish all jars for the libraries.
For more information see: https://github.com/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s/issues/4725

This release drops support for Scala 2.12.x, which fixes this bug. It also updates some dependencies.

## Running bitcoin-s

If you want to run the standalone server binary, after verifying gpg signatures, you
can `unzip bitcoin-s-server-1.9.4.zip` and then run it with `chmod +x ./bin/bitcoin-s-server && ./bin/bitcoin-s-server` to start the node. You will need to
configure the node properly first, you can find example
configurations [here](https://bitcoin-s.org/docs/config/configuration#example-configuration-file).

You can then unzip the `bitcoin-s-cli-1.9.4.zip` folder and start using the `bitcoin-s-cli` like this:

```bashrc
./bin/bitcoin-s-cli --help
Usage: bitcoin-s-cli [options] [<cmd>]

  -n, --network <value>    Select the active network.
  --debug                  Print debugging information
  --rpcport <value>        The port to send our rpc request to on the server
  -h, --help               Display this help message and exit
```

For more information on what commands `bitcoin-s-cli` supports check the documentation, here is where to
start: https://bitcoin-s.org/docs/next/applications/server#server-endpoints

## Verifying signatures

This release is signed with [Chris's signing key](https://bitcoin-s.org/docs/next/security#disclosure) with
fingerprint `9234F4D6AF47C71B741A390F8976CA0AF71A7A2A`

To do the verification, first hash the executable using `sha256sum`. You should check that the result is listed in
the `SHA256SUMS.asc` file next to its file name. After doing that you can use `gpg --verify` to authenticate the
signature.

Example:

```
$ gpg -d SHA256SUMS.asc > SHA256SUMS.stripped
gpg: Signature made Mon 18 Apr 2022 02:19:54 PM CDT
gpg:                using RSA key 9234F4D6AF47C71B741A390F8976CA0AF71A7A2A
gpg: Good signature from "Chris Stewart <stewart.chris1234@gmail.com>" [ultimate]

$ sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.stripped
