Title: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: wumpus on August 28, 2014, 02:38:54 PM Bitcoin Core version 0.9.3rc1 is now available from:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.3/test/ This is a release candidate (test version) for a new minor version release, bringing only bug fixes and updated translations. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues Upgrading and downgrading ========================== 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). If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run 0.9.3 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine. Downgrading warnings -------------------- The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous releases, so if you run 0.9.x and then decide to switch back to a 0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of unspent transaction outputs). Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate data structures and correct the problem. Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens of minutes on a typical machine). 0.9.3 Release notes ======================= RPC: - Avoid a segfault on getblock if it can't read a block from disk - Add paranoid return value checks in base58 Protocol and network code: - Don't poll showmyip.com, it doesn't exist anymore - Add a way to limit deserialized string lengths and use it - Add a new checkpoint at block 295,000 - Increase IsStandard() scriptSig length - Avoid querying DNS seeds, if we have open connections Wallet: - Check redeemScript size does not exceed 520 byte limit - Ignore (and warn about) too-long redeemScripts while loading wallet GUI: - fix 'opens in testnet mode when presented with a BIP-72 link with no fallback' - AvailableCoins: acquire cs_main mutex - Fix unicode character display on MacOSX Miscellaneous: - key.cpp: fail with a friendlier message on missing ssl EC support - Remove bignum dependency for scripts - Upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.1i (see https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140806.txt - just to be sure, no critical issues for Bitcoin Core) - Upgrade miniupnpc to 1.9.20140701 - Fix boost detection in build system on some platforms Credits -------- Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release: - Andrew Poelstra - Cory Fields - Jeff Garzik - Johnathan Corgan - Julian Haight - Michael Ford - Pavel Vasin - Peter Todd - Pieter Wuille - Rose Toomey - Ruben Dario Ponticelli - Trevin Hofmann - Wladimir J. van der Laan - Zak Wilcox As well as everyone that helped translating on Transifex (https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/) Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: 100bitcoin on August 28, 2014, 02:40:08 PM that's a good news :)

Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: CoinLearn on August 28, 2014, 02:42:53 PM I can see Gavin is not among the thanks list. Does not he contribute anymore ?

This is a release candidate, so is meant for testing.I can see Gavin is not among the thanks list. Does not he contribute anymore ? Not to this minor release, which has only a very small number of fixes. He did sign the DMG and MacOSX binaries. He certainly still contributes to the next major version (what is in git master).Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: thorjag on August 28, 2014, 03:41:20 PM Great! Is the increase in ScriptSig length to account for greater M and N values of M-of-N multisig transactions?
Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: jkrueger on August 28, 2014, 06:23:03 PM Great! Progress is a good thing :)
Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: kokojie on August 28, 2014, 07:26:03 PM how to upgrade on ubuntu when stable version released? I could just do "apt-get upgrade bitcoin"?
Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: Peter Todd on August 28, 2014, 08:09:45 PM Great! Is the increase in ScriptSig length to account for greater M and N values of M-of-N multisig transactions? Correct: commit 84fe0ffd685627689bbbcd14cf419938f2a100b2 Author: Peter Todd <pete@petertodd.org> Date: Mon Mar 10 16:38:44 2014 -0400 Increase IsStandard() scriptSig length Removes the limits on number of pubkeys for P2SH CHECKMULTISIG outputs. Previously with the 500 byte scriptSig limit there were odd restrictions where even a 1-of-12 P2SH could be spent in a standard transaction(1), yet multisig scriptPubKey's requiring more signatures quickly ran out of scriptSig space. From a "stuff-data-in-the-blockchain" point of view not much has changed as with the prior commit now only allowing the dummy value to be null the newly allowed scriptSig space can only be used for signatures. In any case, just using more outputs is trivial and doesn't cost much. 1) See 779b519480d8c5346de6e635119c7ee772e97ec872240c45e558f582a37b4b73 Mined by BTC Guild.

The 0.9.1 is rock stable, no crash at all)
Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: Meuh6879 on August 29, 2014, 12:17:23 PM Sound good, no problem for now ... but it must pass the 48h of running time to rise in my mind. 8)
Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: Meuh6879 on August 29, 2014, 05:40:59 PM :( No ... after 19 hours of run ... it's crash without a debuglog entry (or error box displayed).
Like the 0.9.2 and 0.9.2.1 :-\ Code: 2014-08-29 15:26:24 ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED WinXP 32bits SP3+all available updates Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: Bitwayup85 on August 29, 2014, 05:59:40 PM But It's not official yet? It's only in beta right?

Anyway, no you dont have to download the whole blockchain again, just close the existing installation and install the new one over it (e.g. in Win just run the setup w/o uninstalling) Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: oceans on August 30, 2014, 10:50:48 AM This is great news :) any kind of progress whether it be for testing or not is always a good sign as it shows things are progressing in a way they should be and not keeping to a stand still.
Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: Lauda on August 30, 2014, 11:36:37 AM Excellent, fixes are good. I'm amazed by the number of opened issues though.
How far is some version with "new features"? I'm going to upgrade today. Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: wumpus on September 01, 2014, 10:15:44 AM :( No ... after 19 hours of run ... it's crash without a debuglog entry (or error box displayed). You don't get any kind of traceback or core dump from the OS either? We really need one to even start debugging this problem.Like the 0.9.2 and 0.9.2.1 :-\ What is your usage scenario? Mining? A lot of RPC calls? Does this happen in both bitcoin-qt and bitcoind? Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: Meuh6879 on September 01, 2014, 11:29:58 AM Since the 0.9.1 (rock stable), the new products of bitcoin-core crash without debuglog entry or error message (windows box).
I use BFGMiner to mining with 12GH/s USB miner. First report of this crash is here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=655359.msg7370223#msg7370223 (read the folowed message to retrace the bug). Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: wumpus on September 18, 2014, 09:08:57 AM rc2 has been uploaded last weekend to https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.3/test/, with some further fixes in network and memory behaviour
Code: - Remove a useless millisleep in socket handler Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 rc1 has been released Post by: Meuh6879 on September 18, 2014, 09:57:28 AM :) On the run for the test !
