Notable changes
|
### P2P
|
||||||
===============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
P2P and network changes
|
- #25314 p2p: always set nTime for self-advertisements
|
||||||
-----------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- A bitcoind node will no longer rumour addresses to inbound peers by default.
|
### RPC and other APIs
|
||||||
They will become eligible for address gossip after sending an ADDR, ADDRV2,
|
|
||||||
or GETADDR message. (#21528)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Fee estimation changes
|
- #25220 rpc: fix incorrect warning for address type p2sh-segwit in createmultisig
|
||||||
----------------------
|
- #25237 rpc: Capture UniValue by ref for rpcdoccheck
|
||||||
|
- #25983 Prevent data race for pathHandlers
|
||||||
|
- #26275 Fix crash on deriveaddresses when index is 2147483647 (2^31-1)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Fee estimation now takes the feerate of replacement (RBF) transactions into
|
### Build system
|
||||||
account. (#22539)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Rescan startup parameter removed
|
- #25201 windeploy: Renewed windows code signing certificate
|
||||||
--------------------------------
|
- #25788 guix: patch NSIS to remove .reloc sections from installer stubs
|
||||||
|
- #25861 guix: use --build={arch}-guix-linux-gnu in cross toolchain
|
||||||
|
- #25985 Revert "build: Use Homebrew's sqlite package if it is available"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The `-rescan` startup parameter has been removed. Wallets which require
|
### GUI
|
||||||
rescanning due to corruption will still be rescanned on startup.
|
|
||||||
Otherwise, please use the `rescanblockchain` RPC to trigger a rescan. (#23123)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Updated RPCs
|
- #24668 build, qt: bump Qt5 version to 5.15.3
|
||||||
------------
|
- gui#631 Disallow encryption of watchonly wallets
|
||||||
|
- gui#680 Fixes MacOS 13 segfault by preventing certain notifications
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- The `validateaddress` RPC now returns an `error_locations` array for invalid
|
### Tests
|
||||||
addresses, with the indices of invalid character locations in the address (if
|
|
||||||
known). For example, this will attempt to locate up to two Bech32 errors, and
|
|
||||||
return their locations if successful. Success and correctness are only guaranteed
|
|
||||||
if fewer than two substitution errors have been made.
|
|
||||||
The error message returned in the `error` field now also returns more specific
|
|
||||||
errors when decoding fails. (#16807)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- The `-deprecatedrpc=addresses` configuration option has been removed. RPCs
|
- #24454 tests: Fix calculation of external input weights
|
||||||
`gettxout`, `getrawtransaction`, `decoderawtransaction`, `decodescript`,
|
|
||||||
`gettransaction verbose=true` and REST endpoints `/rest/tx`, `/rest/getutxos`,
|
|
||||||
`/rest/block` no longer return the `addresses` and `reqSigs` fields, which
|
|
||||||
were previously deprecated in 22.0. (#22650)
|
|
||||||
- The `getblock` RPC command now supports verbosity level 3 containing transaction inputs'
|
|
||||||
`prevout` information. The existing `/rest/block/` REST endpoint is modified to contain
|
|
||||||
this information too. Every `vin` field will contain an additional `prevout` subfield
|
|
||||||
describing the spent output. `prevout` contains the following keys:
|
|
||||||
- `generated` - true if the spent coins was a coinbase.
|
|
||||||
- `height`
|
|
||||||
- `value`
|
|
||||||
- `scriptPubKey`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- The top-level fee fields `fee`, `modifiedfee`, `ancestorfees` and `descendantfees`
|
### Miscellaneous
|
||||||
returned by RPCs `getmempoolentry`,`getrawmempool(verbose=true)`,
|
|
||||||
`getmempoolancestors(verbose=true)` and `getmempooldescendants(verbose=true)`
|
|
||||||
are deprecated and will be removed in the next major version (use
|
|
||||||
`-deprecated=fees` if needed in this version). The same fee fields can be accessed
|
|
||||||
through the `fees` object in the result. WARNING: deprecated
|
|
||||||
fields `ancestorfees` and `descendantfees` are denominated in sats, whereas all
|
|
||||||
fields in the `fees` object are denominated in BTC. (#22689)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Both `createmultisig` and `addmultisigaddress` now include a `warnings`
|
- #26321 Adjust .tx/config for new Transifex CLI
|
||||||
field, which will show a warning if a non-legacy address type is requested
|
|
||||||
when using uncompressed public keys. (#23113)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
New RPCs
|
|
||||||
--------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Information on soft fork status has been moved from `getblockchaininfo`
|
|
||||||
to the new `getdeploymentinfo` RPC which allows querying soft fork status at any
|
|
||||||
block, rather than just at the chain tip. Inclusion of soft fork
|
|
||||||
status in `getblockchaininfo` can currently be restored using the
|
|
||||||
configuration `-deprecatedrpc=softforks`, but this will be removed in
|
|
||||||
a future release. Note that in either case, the `status` field
|
|
||||||
now reflects the status of the current block rather than the next
|
|
||||||
block. (#23508)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Build System
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Files
|
|
||||||
-----
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* On startup, the list of banned hosts and networks (via `setban` RPC) in
|
|
||||||
`banlist.dat` is ignored and only `banlist.json` is considered. Bitcoin Core
|
|
||||||
version 22.x is the only version that can read `banlist.dat` and also write
|
|
||||||
it to `banlist.json`. If `banlist.json` already exists, version 22.x will not
|
|
||||||
try to translate the `banlist.dat` into json. After an upgrade, `listbanned`
|
|
||||||
can be used to double check the parsed entries. (#22570)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
New settings
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Updated settings
|
|
||||||
----------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- In previous releases, the meaning of the command line option
|
|
||||||
`-persistmempool` (without a value provided) incorrectly disabled mempool
|
|
||||||
persistence. `-persistmempool` is now treated like other boolean options to
|
|
||||||
mean `-persistmempool=1`. Passing `-persistmempool=0`, `-persistmempool=1`
|
|
||||||
and `-nopersistmempool` is unaffected. (#23061)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `-maxuploadtarget` now allows human readable byte units [k|K|m|M|g|G|t|T].
|
|
||||||
E.g. `-maxuploadtarget=500g`. No whitespace, +- or fractions allowed.
|
|
||||||
Default is `M` if no suffix provided. (#23249)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- If `-proxy=` is given together with `-noonion` then the provided proxy will
|
|
||||||
not be set as a proxy for reaching the Tor network. So it will not be
|
|
||||||
possible to open manual connections to the Tor network for example with the
|
|
||||||
`addnode` RPC. To mimic the old behavior use `-proxy=` together with
|
|
||||||
`-onlynet=` listing all relevant networks except `onion`. (#22834)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Tools and Utilities
|
|
||||||
-------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Update `-getinfo` to return data in a user-friendly format that also reduces vertical space. (#21832)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- CLI `-addrinfo` now returns a single field for the number of `onion` addresses
|
|
||||||
known to the node instead of separate `torv2` and `torv3` fields, as support
|
|
||||||
for Tor V2 addresses was removed from Bitcoin Core in 22.0. (#22544)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Wallet
|
|
||||||
------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `upgradewallet` will now automatically flush the keypool if upgrading
|
|
||||||
from a non-HD wallet to an HD wallet, to immediately start using the
|
|
||||||
newly-generated HD keys. (#23093)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- a new RPC `newkeypool` has been added, which will flush (entirely
|
|
||||||
clear and refill) the keypool. (#23093)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `listunspent` now includes `ancestorcount`, `ancestorsize`, and
|
|
||||||
`ancestorfees` for each transaction output that is still in the mempool.
|
|
||||||
(#12677)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `lockunspent` now optionally takes a third parameter, `persistent`, which
|
|
||||||
causes the lock to be written persistently to the wallet database. This
|
|
||||||
allows UTXOs to remain locked even after node restarts or crashes. (#23065)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `receivedby` RPCs now include coinbase transactions. Previously, the
|
|
||||||
following wallet RPCs excluded coinbase transactions: `getreceivedbyaddress`,
|
|
||||||
`getreceivedbylabel`, `listreceivedbyaddress`, `listreceivedbylabel`. This
|
|
||||||
release changes this behaviour and returns results accounting for received
|
|
||||||
coins from coinbase outputs. The previous behaviour can be restored using the
|
|
||||||
configuration `-deprecatedrpc=exclude_coinbase`, but may be removed in a
|
|
||||||
future release. (#14707)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- A new option in the same `receivedby` RPCs, `include_immature_coinbase`
|
|
||||||
(default=`false`), determines whether to account for immature coinbase
|
|
||||||
transactions. Immature coinbase transactions are coinbase transactions that
|
|
||||||
have 100 or fewer confirmations, and are not spendable. (#14707)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
GUI changes
|
|
||||||
-----------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- UTXOs which are locked via the GUI are now stored persistently in the
|
|
||||||
wallet database, so are not lost on node shutdown or crash. (#23065)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- The Bech32 checkbox has been replaced with a dropdown for all address types, including the new Bech32m (BIP-350) standard for Taproot enabled wallets.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Low-level changes
|
|
||||||
=================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RPC
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `getblockchaininfo` now returns a new `time` field, that provides the chain tip time. (#22407)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Tests
|
|
||||||
-----
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- For the `regtest` network the activation heights of several softforks were
|
|
||||||
set to block height 1. They can be changed by the runtime setting
|
|
||||||
`-testactivationheight=name@height`. (#22818)
