Bitcoin Core version 0.9.4 is now available from:
|
|
|
|
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.4/
|
|
|
|
This is a new minor version release, bringing only bug fixes and updated
|
|
translations. Upgrading to this release is recommended.
|
|
|
|
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

|
How to Upgrade
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
|
|
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
|
|
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or
|
|
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
|
|

|
OpenSSL Warning
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k was recently released and is being pushed out by
|
|
various operating system maintainers. Review by Gregory Maxwell determined that
|
|
this update is incompatible with the Bitcoin system and could lead to consensus
|
|
forks.
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core released binaries from https://bitcoin.org are unaffected,
|
|
as are any built with the gitian deterministic build system.
|
|
|
|
However, if you are running either
|
|
|
|
- The Ubuntu PPA from https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin
|
|
- A third-party or self-compiled Bitcoin Core
|
|
|
|
upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.9.4, which includes a workaround, **before** updating
|
|
OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
The incompatibility is due to the OpenSSL update changing the
|
|
behavior of ECDSA validation to reject any signature which is
|
|
not encoded in a very rigid manner. This was a result of
|
|
OpenSSL's change for CVE-2014-8275 "Certificate fingerprints
|
|
can be modified".
|
|
|
|
We are specifically aware of potential hard-forks due to signature
|
|
encoding handling and had been hoping to close them via BIP62 in 0.10.
|
|
BIP62's purpose is to improve transaction malleability handling and
|
|
as a side effect rigidly defines the encoding for signatures, but the
|
|
overall scope of BIP62 has made it take longer than we'd like to
|
|
deploy.
