Bitcoin Core 0.10.0 has been released

[Cubic Earth]

Thank you, everyone and anyone who has worked so hard to release this latest version.  This is the most cutting edge, important piece of software in the world today, bar none, and it is an honor and pleasure to run my very own full node.

FYI - I did a clean install of 10.0 rc2 on my 2013 MacBook Air.  With 20Mbps connection it fully synced in 12 hours.  I hadn't set up the port forwarding, so that was with only 8 inbound connections.

Thanks for all the developpers , it's really appreciated .
Going to download now and enjoy the fast Synchro with the network

With the new "headers-first synchronization", does that mean we no longer need the bootstrap torrent for initial sync, as I notice it hasn't been mentioned in https://bitcoin.org/en/download anymore?

Yes, the torrent will be a thing from the past now. Not only due to headers first, but also because the client can now download from several sources at once similar to a BitTorrent client. As a consequence using the torrent would most likely be slower as you can not verifiy the blocks while downloading via the torrent.

This.

Notable changes
===============

Faster synchronization
----------------------

Bitcoin Core now uses 'headers-first synchronization'. This means that we first
ask peers for block headers (a total of 27 megabytes, as of December 2014) and
validate those. In a second stage, when the headers have been discovered, we
download the blocks. However, as we already know about the whole chain in
advance, the blocks can be downloaded in parallel from all available peers.

In practice, this means a much faster and more robust synchronization. On
recent hardware with a decent network link, it can be as little as 3 hours
for an initial full synchronization. You may notice a slower progress in the
very first few minutes, when headers are still being fetched and verified, but
it should gain speed afterwards.

Important and interesting update, specially for the ones that just focus on the usability and they're not interested in anything else about the bitcoin core.
Faster synchronization can make people consider the usage of bitcoin-qt instead of other wallets like Multibit, Electrum… that don't download the entire blockchain on users system. Being apparently faster to set-up and to let people start sending/receiving bitcoins.

P.S: Thanks, team!

you can't download the 34Go of the blockchain ... in 3 hours.  
you can't recreate the bockchain order in that time, too ... on a "normal" desktop or laptop (even with an SSD).

it says "AS LITTLE AS 3 HOURS" ... it doesnt say 3 hours guaranteed

Downloading now. Some nice improvements there.

[tss]

great to see an update.. is the 20mb block limit inside this?  haha

[Tstar]

great news, will upgrade right now

i hope it won't rescan whole blockchain again after we have updated

[SargeR33]

Will that be incorporated into Bitcoin Core? I thought the purpose of Bitcoin Core was to allow users to download the full blockchain for what ever purpose. Isn't this why there are light wallets?

With a connection of 1,000 Mbps Up/Down and a decent desktop, why wouldn't one be able to?

Excellent work team, can't wait for the future version as well.

boys wanted to know if I adjourned, I lose my bitcoin address?

There is absolutely no reason you would.

[spooderman]

What of multi-sig?

(By the way, thanks for an excellent update!)

[Meuh6879]

Can someone correct the value of the blockchain explain in the description bellow the donwload of bitcoin core ?

Bitcoin Core initial synchronization will take time and download a lot of data. You should make sure that you have enough bandwidth and storage for the full block chain size (over 20GB).

It's more than 35Go now ... (and the blockchain is, for now, the same for all users).

even in a 250 000 people town, you don't have a gigabit connexion at "home".
bitcoin core ... is not "only" commercial and industrial building.
