Bitcoin version 0.7.0 is now available for download at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.0/We recommend that everybody running prior versions of bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt upgrade to this release, except for users running Mac OSX 10.5. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issuesProject source code is hosted at github; you can get source-only tarballs/zipballs directly from there: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tarball/v0.7.0 # .tar.gz https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/zipball/v0.7.0 # .zip Ubuntu Linux users can use the "Personal Package Archive" (PPA) maintained by Matt Corallo to automatically keep bitcoin up-to-date. Just type sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin sudo apt-get update in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package: sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt How to UpgradeIf 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 were running on Linux with a version that might have been compiled with a different version of Berkeley DB (for example, if you were using the PPA and are switching to the binary release), then run the old version again with the -detachdb argument and shut it down; if you do not, then the new version will not be able to read the database files and will exit with an error. Incompatible Changes* Replaced the 'getmemorypool' RPC command with 'getblocktemplate/submitblock' and 'getrawmempool' commands. * Remove deprecated RPC 'getblocknumber' Bitcoin Improvement Proposals implementedBIP 22 - 'getblocktemplate', 'submitblock' RPCs BIP 34 - block version 2, height in coinbase BIP 35 - 'mempool' message, extended 'getdata' message behavior Core bitcoin handling and blockchain database* Reduced CPU usage, by eliminating some redundant hash calculations * Cache signature verifications, to eliminate redundant signature checks * Transactions with zero-value outputs are considered non-standard * Mining: when creating new blocks, sort 'paid' area by fee-per-kb * Database: better validation of on-disk stored data * Database: minor optimizations and reliability improvements * -loadblock=FILE will import an external block file * Additional DoS (denial-of-service) prevention measures * New blockchain checkpoint at block 193,000 JSON-RPC API* Internal HTTP server is now thread-per-connection, rather than a single-threaded queue that would stall on network I/O. * Internal HTTP server supports HTTP/1.1, pipelined requests and connection keep-alive. * Support JSON-RPC 2.0 batches, to encapsulate multiple JSON-RPC requests within a single HTTP request. * IPv6 support * Added raw transaction API. See https://gist.github.com/2839617* Added 'getrawmempool', to list contents of TX memory pool * Added 'getpeerinfo', to list data about each connected network peer * Added 'listaddressgroupings' for better coin control * Rework getblock call. * Remove deprecated RPC 'getblocknumber' * Remove superceded RPC 'getmemorypool' (see BIP 22, above) * listtransactions output now displays "smart" times for transactions, and 'blocktime' and 'timereceived' fields were added P2P networking* IPv6 support * Tor hidden service support (see doc/Tor.txt) * Attempts to fix "stuck blockchain download" problems * Replace BDB database "addr.dat" with internally-managed "peers.dat" file containing peer address data. * Lower default send buffer from 10MB to 1MB * proxy: SOCKS5 by default * Support connecting by hostnames passed to proxy * Add -seednode connections, and use this instead of DNS seeds when proxied * Added -externalip and -discover * Add -onlynet to connect only to a given network (IPv4, IPv6, or Tor) * Separate listening sockets, -bind=<addr> Qt GUI* Add UI RPC console / debug window * Re-Enable URI handling on Windows, add safety checks and tray-notifications * Harmonize the use of ellipsis ("...") to be used in menus, but not on buttons * Add 2 labels to the overviewpage that display Wallet and Transaction status (obsolete or current) * Extend the optionsdialog (e.g. language selection) and re-work it to a tabbed UI * Merge sign/verify message into a single window with tabbed UI * Ensure a changed bitcoin unit immediately updates all GUI elements that use units * Update QR Code dialog * Improve error reporting at startup * Fine-grained UI updates for a much smoother UI during block downloads * Remove autocorrection of 0/i in addresses in UI * Reorganize tray icon menu into more logical order * Persistently poll for balance change when number of blocks changed * Much better translations * Override progress bar design on platforms with segmented progress bars to assist with readability * Added 'immature balance' display on the overview page * (Windows only): enable ASLR and DEP for bitcoin-qt.exe * (Windows only): add meta-data to bitcoin-qt.exe (e.g. description) Internal codebase* Additional unit tests * Compile warning fixes Miscellaneous* Reopen debug.log upon SIGHUP * Bash programmable completion for bitcoind(1) * On supported OS's, each thread is given a useful name

Upgrade went perfectly on Win7 32bit.
The Debug window is fantastic and "out of sync" messages really help.
Excellent work as usual.
<PissAntComplaint> As a colour blind DBA (i.e UI retarded), I dislike the startup logo. I'd rather see the "traditional" Bitcoin icon on a light coloured (perhaps a gradient) background. </PissAntComplaint>

There is actually complete coin control now (note that the patch that had been created earlier whilst having GUI support only provided limited control), however, you will need to use the console version (bitcoind) to create the tx's via the "raw transactions" RPC calls: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Raw_TransactionsGreat work guys (am reading about raw tx's now in order to start playing with them)!

Should I backup my wallet again just for safely?
There is no chance of my existing wallet getting over-written or anything is there?

... Core bitcoin handling and blockchain database ... * -loadblock=FILE will import an external block file ...
Is there any chance of this being able to support blockchains made using a different version of libdb? Also, the PPA is most certainly updated.

The block files (blk000N.dat) are not BDB files, they're a raw, binary, append-only list of serialized blocks, so -loadblock doesn't care about the version of libdb used.

Lots of new features and all. That's great. Thanks guys.
... BUT ...
The important september announcement is not that there is a troyan horse in the binary, allowing a secret retrieval of all private keys in order to reboot the block chain, is it?
I mean, everybody's so quick into jumping in every new version. Am I the only one worrying a bit about that?

Only if you did not read the source. Personally, I run a simple file compare against the last build and look at the changes. It ain't called Open Source for nothing.

Only using ~300MB of RAM for me. Seems slightly reduced so that's nice, even if not a big deal. The "Out of Sync" notifications are nice to see.
The options appears to be cleaned up a lot.
Thank you for the continued hard work!

Should I backup my wallet again just for safely?
There is no chance of my existing wallet getting over-written or anything is there?
It shouldn't over write your existing wallet.dat, but why wouldn't you back it up just in case? It is pretty easy to do, and if for some reason something unexpected should go wrong for you, saying "I thought you said it would be ok" won't bring back your coins.

Bitcoin version 0.7.0 is now available for download at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.0/We recommend that everybody running prior versions of bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt upgrade to this release. ... JSON-RPC API... * Remove deprecated RPC 'getblocknumber' * Remove superceded RPC 'getmemorypool' (see BIP 22, above)... I'd like to request people using bitcoind to NOT upgrade and force the devs to deal with changes properly. These 2 changes above are ridiculous. Can we expect the next version of bitcoin to remove other things that people are using and simply say - bad luck - see you later? Have any of the bitcoin devs ever worked in a real production environment? This sort of change suggests the answer to that question is 'no'. We already had a nightmare of problems back in April due to not dealing with change properly, why are we still seeing this lack of proper procedure here with this 0.7.0 release?

Nah, just that I don't expect beta software to be maintained with the same attention to backward compatibility as I would expect of work done in a production environment. If I'm going to use beta software in my own production environment, then I'm going to expect to have to do some work on my end to keep up with the newest releases. So - since the software is in beta the changes done shouldn't be treated appropriately? ...
And ... yes your quote is trying to create a link between 2 things I said that were not linked at all ...
I used ellipsis to show that content had been removed from the original and left the link there so that anybody who wants to can see the context. Not trying to hide anything. How were they not linked? You asked if the bitcoin devs had ever worked in a production environment and then complained about the way they were handling 0.7.0 which is a beta release. Feel free to create competing software. It is open source after all, and the protocol is public knowledge. If you can provide a better product and do a better job of treating changes properly, then yours will likely become the new standard.

From everything I've seen the bitcoin client has always appeared to me to be in Beta. Correct. And beyond that, the RPC API has never had the same ironclad backwards-compat guarantees that the blockchain and P2P network have. From satoshi's time to present, RPC calls have been considered an internal control plane. Compatibility with existing use cases is very important, even with RPC API, but sometimes there are exceptions: deprecated, unused APIs; APIs where we've discussed and planned for changes ahead of time, etc.

This is a major version update, so things like this can be expected. Even if they had left those features in, the upgrade still might not be seamless for business users. If you don't want to update immediately to the new version, old versions still receive bugfix-only updates for about 1 year or so. 0.6.4 is currently being tested here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=110231.0

We are still using third parties for this operation which is far from optimal. I believe that lot of others have the same needs as I read in other posts.

Bitcoin transactions do not have a sender address. They have one or more input txouts, each of which may or may not have an identifiable address it was previously sent to. Relying on this information is not portable, as it is client-dependent. If you need a refund address or some payout address, ask for it. This also prevents reuse of addresses, which is bad for Bitcoin's privacy model (not just of those whose addresses are involved). PS: since 0.7, you can find this information using the raw transaction API.

P2pool 3.1 is not compatible with bitcoind 0.7, and since getmemorypool is removed, it thinks its version is too old. You can upgrade p2pool to 5.0 now.

really? 1) Are you sure that there are transactions without an identifiable sender addresses? I've never seen a single transaction like that in the blockchain. 2) "coin taint" all the way back to the original generated coin(s) in question has always been fully traceable whenever I've attempted. 3) Coin control is a desired / requested / needed feature. The ability to control which source coins are spent in transactions and whatnot. 4) there is no four. except maybe "please qualify your assertion as I've addressed in #1"

This is not the same thing as a sender address. Things get even more silly if you think about transactions with multiple inputs and/or outputs.

huh? why not?
Are you saying you can spend someone else's coins despite not having access to the private key for their address(es)?
Edited to add:
multi-input transactions require private keys just the same as single-input. I'm not sure what you're referring to.
A rather direct, simlpified implication is that if coins are sent, the private key(s) used to generate the transaction script(s) is controlled by the sender.

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. Post an address, and I will cause a 3rd party to send a transaction to it in such a way that it can not be returned to me.

Is there really STILL no coin control options in this release? This is the major feature I have been waiting for for many many months and I am so disappointed that it seems to be not here ? Please find or hire someone to update and fix the problems in it, so that it might be merged in the future. Maybe start a bounty? Today's next-test still has Coin Control barely merged in, but this will probably be the last time due to rapid bitrot.

+1 I would love to see this feature working. I might start the bounty myself in the morning (or some other time) if it hasn't been started yet... After when I've slept and/or look back in this direction (bitcointalk forums) again. Thanks for the official-like status update on the future of this feature, luke.

Are you describing a scenario where your bitcoin wallet (private keys) is controlled by a third party? Or perhaps (for example) One could "withdraw" from their GLBSE balance to someone else's bitcoin address (to make a patment from them) perhaps mtgox and/or other "in the cloud" wallet providers... I can only speculate. Only ever used official satoshi (bitcoinqt / bitcoind) wallet.

<PissAntComplaint> As a colour blind DBA (i.e UI retarded), I dislike the startup logo. I'd rather see the "traditional" Bitcoin icon on a light coloured (perhaps a gradient) background. </PissAntComplaint>
I'm aiming to completely get rid of the splash screen by 0.8. No promises though.

I can only speculate. Only ever used official satoshi (bitcoinqt / bitcoind) wallet. Yes. I have at least three accounts with services that will send coins at my command, but will not come from a key that I control, or is otherwise associated with me in any way. A return to sender on those payments will go either to the service provider, or to a random user of that service. And that's just off the top of my head. I bet that if I looked through my password safe, I'd see plenty more accounts that I've totally forgotten. And that's not all. Say you are making a major sale, and you want the proceeds to go into a P2SH multisig account where most of the keys are offline, or under the control of an authentication service. You get the payment and check the list, see that the coins are "tainted". Now what? You don't have the keys available to return them immediately. Oops.

A minor issue, not sure if yet reported. 0.7.0 client does not allow to transfer the whole balance, stating an incorrect initial fee (prior to ‘send’ confirmation). My example: balance 0.1739839, client does not allow to spend more then 0.1719839 (initially assumes 0.002 minimum fee), the minimum fee is in fact 0.0015 (correctly calculated after 'send' data check on 0.1719839 and overrides an earlier 'assumed' 0.002), so 0.0005 remains unspent even if you force it as a nominal fee in the settings. Initial fee miscalculation? 6.3 does not have such problem. Please check. TIA.
pm me for details if needed.

I am having trouble copy and pasting addresses into Pay to box when trying to send BTC in that it won't even give me the option to paste despite it being in the clipboard and working for all other applications. . Reverting to 0.63 works again for me.
I'm on windows 7 x64.

I've experienced that exact issue before in 0.6.3 but just never thought to report it. 1) Often would get a message "insufficient... something something something ...after fee included" (can't remember exact wording) 2) So then after I subtract the fee manually, it takes out a different fee amount or sometimes reports a different fee is required. -- I haven't sent coins since upgrading to 0.7.0 but if I am able to reproduce this behavior at a later date I will fully document the messages

it looks like 0.70 is registering the bitcoin: URI protocol (at least in Windows) but if I already have the bitcoin client running, I get an error.

I tried using the Donation link on the bitcoin foundation page, and nothing happened in the bitcoin client. I don't know what the expected behavior is, but I assume it isn't nothing.

it looks like 0.70 is registering the bitcoin: URI protocol (at least in Windows) but if I already have the bitcoin client running, I get an error. Same error on my end, when clicking the provided URI to pay the Bitcoin Foundation of all things. (W7 64bit) In short: When Bitcoin-Qt was not running, the application would launch normally, and then proceed to do... nothing in particular. (I'm assuming something is meant to happen at this point. It doesn't.) So, I kill the application and click the link again. Same result. With mild annoyance, I repeat this a this a few times over. I try to find some way to manually paste the link. (Because that sounds like something one should be able to do.) No luck there either. At which point I give up and extract the address from the URI (no plaintext address was provided) After conceding defeat, I finally manage to paste the address, smack a label on it, add the specified amount and do the transaction by hand, while trembling and cursing in terrible anger.

If the registration doesn't work, you can also drag&drop a bitcoin: URI to the running client (this was the original mechanism).

Can you guys please tell me, if you did an upgrade install or removed the old version before installing 0.7? Another interesting thing would be how the Bitcoin URI entry in your registry looks like.
Enter regedit and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bitcoin\shell\open\command for that info.
Oh and please verify that you are using latest 0.7 release and no former RC!

I installed over the RC versions. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" "$1" The drag and drop method works.

The timing of each confirmation is dependent on the network, not your client version. Sometimes blocks are confirmed more slowly, sometimes blocks are confirmed more rapidly. It is only the targetted average that is 10 minutes per confirmation. This is a target that the network is always striving for, but -- due to probability -- never attains.

That's a problem in the website, not the client. %20 should be used to encode spaces in URIs, not "+": http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2678551/when-to-encode-space-to-plus-and-when-to-20

Changed the "$1" part of the registry value to "%1". Works fine now. I believe I upgraded to 0.7 from 0.6.2. Possibly from 0.6.3. (Not from an RC version.) Would forcing the registry value to "%1" during installation break anything? Thanks for the help.

Huh. That's a problem with BIP 20-- it doesn't say how the parameters are encoded. I assumed they were encoded the same way as http URLs (application/x-www-form-encoded) because the bitcoin: scheme is very similar to the http scheme (where everything after the ? is x-www-form-encoded); are they not?

As asked for in another thread, info even small from users who are using a client. Running 0.7.0 on Win7 64 no problems, not turning the client on much though due to having mobile connection and saving my download limits. I never wanted to comment in these threads much because my tech knowledge is very limited even though I can piece them together hardware wise. I will put my its running ok or not up from now on. Thanks for all the hard work as well dev team.
