Bitcoin Knots version 0.13.0.knots20160814 is now available from:

  <https://bitcoinknots.org/files/0.13.x/0.13.0.knots20160814/>

This is a new major version release, including new features, various bugfix=
es
and performance improvements, as well as updated translations.

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

  <https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/issues>

Compatibility
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014]
(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
an OS initially released in 2001. This means that not even critical security
updates will be released anymore. Without security updates, using a bitcoin
wallet on a XP machine is irresponsible at least.

In addition to that, with 0.12.x there have been varied reports of Bitcoin
Core randomly crashing on Windows XP. It is [not clear]
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681#issuecomment-217439891)
what the source of these crashes is, but it is likely that upstream librari=
es
such as Qt are no longer being tested on XP.

We do not have time nor resources to provide support for an OS that is
end-of-life. From 0.13.0 on, Windows XP is no longer supported. Users are
suggested to upgrade to a newer verion of Windows, or install an alternativ=
e=20
OS that is supported.

No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows=
=20
XP, you can still do so at your own risk, but do not expect it to work: do =
not
report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.

Notable changes
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Non-mining nodes may influence miner policy
=2D------------------------------------------

As a side-effect of Compact Blocks support (see below), ordinary non-mining
nodes will download and upload blocks faster if those blocks were produced =
by
miners using similar transaction filtering policies. This means that a miner
who produces a block with many transactions discouraged by your node will be
relayed slower than one with only transactions already in your memory pool.

The overall effect of such relay differences on the network may result in
blocks which include widely-discouraged transactions losing a stale block
race, and therefore miners may wish to configure their node to take common
relay policies into consideration.

Because of this influence, ordinary nodes should review their mempool policy
configuration, and explicitly make informed decisions about what they wish
their policy to be. Miners should think about whether their current policy =
is
widely accepted by the community, and consider possibly making adjustments.

Many policy options are available in the GUI settings. For reference, the
equivalent bitcoin.conf settings are: `permitbaremultisig`, `acceptnonstdtx=
n`,
`bytespersigop`, `bytespersigopstrict`, `datacarrier`, `datacarriersize`,
`mempoolreplacement`, `spamfilter`, `maxorphantx`, `maxmempool`,
`mempoolexpiry`, `limitancestorcount`, `limitancestorsize`,
`limitdescendantcount`, and `limitdescendantsize`. Further details on the
config file options can be seen with the `-help` command line option.

(Note that nodes still respect a strict first-seen order for competing tip
blocks, and this change only affects relay speed to peer nodes.)

Database cache memory increased
=2D-------------------------------

As a result of growth of the UTXO set, performance with the prior default
database cache of 100 MiB has suffered.
=46or this reason the default was changed to 300 MiB in this release.

=46or nodes on low-memory systems, the database cache can be changed back to
100 MiB (or to another value) by either:

=2D Adding `dbcache=3D100` in bitcoin.conf
=2D Changing it in the GUI under `Options =E2=86=92 Size of database cache`

Note that the database cache setting has the most performance impact
during initial sync of a node, and when catching up after downtime.

bitcoin-cli: arguments privacy
=2D-----------------------------

The RPC command line client gained a new argument, `-stdin`
to read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl-D.
=46or example:

    $ src/bitcoin-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
    mysecretcode
    120
    ..... press Ctrl-D here to end input
    $

It is recommended to use this for sensitive information such as wallet
passphrases, as command-line arguments can usually be read from the process
table by any user on the system.

C++11 and Python 3
=2D-----------------

Various code modernizations have been done. The Bitcoin Knots code base has
started using C++11. This means that a C++11-capable compiler is now needed=
=20
for building. Effectively this means GCC 4.7 or higher, or Clang 3.3 or=20
higher.

=46or running the functional tests in `qa/rpc-tests`, Python3.4 or higher i=
s now
required.

Linux ARM builds
=2D---------------

Due to popular request, Linux ARM builds have been added to the uploaded
executables.

The following extra files can be found in the download directory or torrent:

=2D `bitcoin-${VERSION}-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz`: Linux binaries for the=
 most
  common 32-bit ARM architecture.
=2D `bitcoin-${VERSION}-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.gz`: Linux binaries for the m=
ost
  common 64-bit ARM architecture.

ARM builds are still experimental. If you have problems on a certain device=
 or
Linux distribution combination please report them on the bug tracker, it ma=
y=20
be possible to resolve them.

Note that Android is not considered ARM Linux in this context. The executab=
les
are not expected to work out of the box on Android.

=46ee filtering of invs (BIP 133)
=2D------------------------------

The optional new p2p message "feefilter" is implemented and the protocol
version is bumped to 70013. Upon receiving a feefilter message from a peer,
a node will not send invs for any transactions which do not meet the filter
feerate. [BIP 133]
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0133.mediawiki)

Compact Block support (BIP 152)
=2D------------------------------

Support for block relay using the Compact Blocks protocol has been implemen=
ted
in PR 8068.

The primary goal is reducing the bandwidth spikes at relay time, though in=
=20
many cases it also reduces propagation delay. It is automatically enabled=20
between compatible peers.
[BIP 152](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0152.mediawiki)

Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation
=2D----------------------------------------
Newly created wallets will use hierarchical deterministic key generation
according to BIP32 (keypath m/0'/0'/k').
Existing wallets will still use traditional key generation.

Backups of HD wallets, regardless of when they have been created, can
therefore be used to re-generate all possible private keys, even the
ones which haven't already been generated during the time of the backup.
**Attention:** Encrypting the wallet will create a new seed which requires
a new backup!

HD key generation for new wallets can be disabled by `-usehd=3D0`. Keep in
mind that this flag only has affect on newly created wallets.
You can't disable HD key generation once you have created a HD wallet.

There is no distinction between internal (change) and external keys.

HD wallets are incompatible with older versions of Bitcoin Knots.

[Pull request](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8035/files), [BIP 32]
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki)

Segregated Witness
=2D-----------------

The code preparations for Segregated Witness ("segwit"), as described in [B=
IP
141](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki), [BIP
143](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0143.mediawiki), [BIP
144](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0144.mediawiki), and [=
BIP
145](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0145.mediawiki) are
finished and included in this release.  However, BIP 141 does not yet speci=
fy
activation parameters on mainnet, and so this release does not support segw=
it
use on mainnet.  Testnet use is supported, and after BIP 141 is updated with
proposed parameters, a future release of Bitcoin Knots is expected that
implements those parameters for mainnet.

=46urthermore, because segwit activation is not yet specified for mainnet,
version 0.13.0 will behave similarly as other pre-segwit releases even afte=
r a
future activation of BIP 141 on the network.  Upgrading from 0.13.0 will be
required in order to utilize segwit-related features on mainnet (such as=20
signal BIP 141 activation, mine segwit blocks, fully validate segwit blocks=
,=20
relay segwit blocks to other segwit nodes, and use segwit transactions in t=
he
wallet, etc).

Mining transaction selection ("Child Pays For Parent")
=2D-----------------------------------------------------

The mining transaction selection algorithm has been replaced with an algori=
thm
that selects transactions based on their feerate inclusive of unconfirmed
ancestor transactions.  This means that a low-fee transaction can become mo=
re
likely to be selected if a high-fee transaction that spends its outputs is
relayed.

With this change, the `-blockminsize` command line option has been removed.

The command line option `-blockmaxsize` remains an option to specify the
maximum number of serialized bytes in a generated block.  In addition, the =
new
command line option `-blockmaxweight` has been added, which specifies the
maximum "block weight" of a generated block, as defined by [BIP 141=20
(Segregated Witness)]=20
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki).

In preparation for Segregated Witness, the mining algorithm has been modifi=
ed
to choose transactions to mine based on their block weight, rather than num=
ber
of serialized bytes.  In this release, transaction selection is unaffected =
by
this distinction (as BIP 141 activation is not supported on mainnet in this
release, see above), but in future releases and after BIP 141 activation,
these calculations would be expected to differ.

Reindexing changes
=2D-----------------

In earlier versions, reindexing did validation while reading through the bl=
ock
files on disk. These two have now been split up, so that all blocks are kno=
wn
before validation starts. This was necessary to make certain optimizations=
=20
that are available during normal synchronizations also available during=20
reindexing.

The two phases are distinct in the Bitcoin-Qt GUI. During the first one,
"Reindexing blocks on disk" is shown. During the second (slower) one,
"Processing blocks on disk" is shown.

It is possible to only redo validation now, without rebuilding the block=20
index, using the command line option `-reindex-chainstate` (in addition to
`-reindex` which does both). This new option is useful when the blocks on d=
isk
are assumed to be fine, but the chainstate is still corrupted. It is also
useful for benchmarks.

Removal of internal miner
=2D-------------------------

As CPU mining has been useless for a long time, the internal miner has been
removed in this release, and replaced with a simpler implementation for the
test framework.

The overall result of this is that `setgenerate` RPC call has been removed,=
 as
well as the `-gen` and `-genproclimit` command-line options.

=46or testing, the `generate` call can still be used to mine a block, and a=
 new
RPC call `generatetoaddress` has been added to mine to a specific address.=
=20
This works with wallet disabled.

New bytespersigop implementation
=2D-------------------------------

The former implementation of the bytespersigop filter accidentally broke ba=
re
multisig (which is meant to be controlled by the `permitbaremultisig` optio=
n),
since the consensus protocol always counts these older transaction forms as=
 20
sigops for backwards compatibility. Simply fixing this bug by counting more
accurately would have reintroduced a vulnerability. It has therefore been
replaced with a new implementation that rather than filter such transaction=
s,
instead treats them (for fee purposes only) as if they were in fact the size
of a transaction actually using all 20 sigops.

The original filtering behaviour is also available under the new
`bytespersigopstrict` option, but with fixed/accurate sigop counting.

Low-level P2P changes
=2D---------------------

=2D The P2P alert system has been removed in PR #7692 and the `alert` P2P
  message is no longer supported.

=2D The transaction relay mechanism used to relay one quarter of all
  transactions instantly, while queueing up the rest and sending them out in
  batch. As this resulted in chains of dependent transactions being reorder=
ed,
  it systematically hurt transaction relay. The relay code was redesigned in
  PRs #7840 and #8082, and now always batches transactions announcements wh=
ile
  also sorting them according to dependency order. This significantly reduc=
es
  orphan transactions. To compensate for the removal of instant relay, the
  frequency of batch sending was doubled for outgoing peers.

=2D Since PR #7840 the BIP35 `mempool` command is also subject to batch
  processing. Also the `mempool` message is no longer handled for
  non-whitelisted peers when `NODE_BLOOM` is disabled through
  `-peerbloomfilters=3D0`.

=2D The maximum size of orphan transactions that are kept in memory until t=
heir
  ancestors arrive has been raised in PR #8179 from 5000 to 99999 bytes. Th=
ey
  are now also removed from memory when they are included in a block, confl=
ict
  with a block, and time out after 20 minutes.

=2D We respond at most once to a getaddr request during the lifetime of a
  connection since PR #7856.

=2D Connections to peers who have recently been the first one to give us a =
valid
  new block or transaction are protected from disconnections since PR #8084.

Low-level RPC changes
=2D---------------------

=2D `gettxoutsetinfo` UTXO hash (`hash_serialized`) has changed. There was a
  divergence between 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and the txids were missing
  in the hashed data. This has been fixed, but this means that the output w=
ill
  be different than from previous versions.

=2D Full UTF-8 support in the RPC API. Non-ASCII characters in, for example,
  wallet labels have always been malformed because they weren't taken into
  account properly in JSON RPC processing. This is no longer the case. This
  also affects the GUI debug console. (This may require upgrading system
  UniValue library.)

=2D Asm script outputs replacements for OP_NOP2 and OP_NOP3

  - OP_NOP2 has been renamed to OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY by [BIP=20
65](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki)

  - OP_NOP3 has been renamed to OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY by [BIP=20
112](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.mediawiki)

  - The following outputs are affected by this change:

    - RPC `getrawtransaction` (in verbose mode)
    - RPC `decoderawtransaction`
    - RPC `decodescript`
    - REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format)
    - REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details)
    - `bitcoin-tx -json`

=2D The sorting of the output of the `getrawmempool` output has changed.

=2D New RPC commands: `generatetoaddress`, `importprunedfunds`,=20
`removeprunedfunds`, `signmessagewithprivkey`,
  `createwitnessaddress`, `addwitnessaddress`.

=2D Removed RPC commands: `setgenerate`, `getgenerate`.

=2D New `feeRate` option was added to `fundrawtransaction`

Low-level ZMQ changes
=2D---------------------

=2D Each ZMQ notification now contains an up-counting sequence number that
  allows listeners to detect lost notifications.
  The sequence number is always the last element in a multi-part ZMQ
  notification and therefore backward compatible. Each message type has its
  own counter. PR [#7762](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7762).
