We're releasing 0.6.3 to fix two important issues (a serious potential denial-of-service attack, and to improve new-block propagation times for blocks containing lots of transactions). If you can, please help do some sanity testing-- shutdown bitcoin, then download, install, and run 0.6.3 and let us know "works nicely for me running on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04" by posting a quick reply to this thread. Release notes: Bitcoin version 0.6.3rc1 is now available for download at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.3/test/This is a bug-fix release, with no new features. CHANGE SUMMARY ============== Fixed a serious denial-of-service attack that could cause the bitcoin process to become unresponsive. Thanks to Sergio Lerner for finding and responsibly reporting the problem. (CVE-2012-3789) Optimized the process of checking transaction signatures, to speed up processing of new block messages and make propagating blocks across the network faster. Fixed an obscure bug that could cause the bitcoin process to get stuck on an invalid block-chain, if the invalid chain was hundreds of blocks long. Bitcoin-Qt no longer automatically selects the first address in the address book (Issue #1384). Fixed minimize-to-dock behavior of Bitcon-Qt on the Mac. Added a block checkpoint at block 185,333 to speed up initial blockchain download. Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release: ==================================================== Chris Moore Christian von Roques Fordy Gavin Andresen Jeff Garzik Luke Dashjr Matt Corallo Michael Hendricks Peter Todd Philip Kaufmann Pieter Wuille R E Broadley Sergio Lerner Wladimir J. van der Laan |

while downloading, i got the following warning from my paranoid virus scanner avast home free edition http://imgur.com/G10mpit wanted me to cancel the download the warning means: this file is either very new or very rare.. after download when i started the file i got a similar message, and it wanted to sandbox the installer. i would bet the install would fail in a sandbox. i think its time to get a new virus scanner.. |

That's actually very sensible way for the scanner to operate. Afterall, this file _is_ brand new. Of course, in this case, you already knew it, so the warnings were just in the way. I'd expect in most cases that would be quite useful in shielding your system from new unknown threats. |

It was running fine when I first launced 0.6.3 and began downloading the blockchain from scratch. I then quit before the entire block chain downloaded and moved a copy of these 3 files from 0.6.2 residing on another computer: bitcoin.conf blk0001.dat blkindex.dat Once I tried to relauch bitcoin-qt, I get this error: Runaway exception
A fatal error occured. Bitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

Before you copy the blk* files, you must run with the -detachdb option and make sure you shutdown bitcoin and wait for it to exit completely. With 0.6.2, we change the default from "take a long time to shut down, but leave standalone .dat files" to "shutdown quickly, but leave .dat files that are tied to the database/log.* files".
Too many ordinary users were quitting bitcoin and then immediately powering off their systems, leaving the database in a bad state.

Thanks for the info Gavin, I followed these steps and now 0.6.3 is running fine on 64-bit Xubuntu 11.04. Note 1: While waiting the 10 minutes or so to shutdown using the -detachdb option the GUI looks like it's not responding. Note 2: Before I copied the blk* files, I needed ~1350 blocks to synchronize with the network but when I restarted 0.6.3 the count was only ~1050 blocks. After a couple of minutes, the count increased to ~1225. Note 3: I was only able to connect to 8 nodes on 0.6.3 even though the bitcoin.conf hasn't changed and I normally connect to +100 nodes. |
