-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).
-
-Downgrading warning
----------------------
-
-Because release 0.10.0 makes use of headers-first synchronization and parallel
-block download (see further), the block files and databases are not
-backwards-compatible with older versions of Bitcoin Core or other software:
-
-* Blocks will be stored on disk out of order (in the order they are
-received, really), which makes it incompatible with some tools or
-other programs. Reindexing using earlier versions will also not work
-anymore as a result of this.
-
-* The block index database will now hold headers for which no block is
-stored on disk, which earlier versions won't support.
-
-If you want to be able to downgrade smoothly, make a backup of your entire data
-directory. Without this your node will need start syncing (or importing from
-bootstrap.dat) anew afterwards. It is possible that the data from a completely
-synchronised 0.10 node may be usable in older versions as-is, but this is not
-supported and may break as soon as the older version attempts to reindex.
-
-This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility.
-
-
-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.
-
-A few RPCs were added/updated as a result of this:
-- `getblockchaininfo` now returns the number of validated headers in addition to
-the number of validated blocks.
-- `getpeerinfo` lists both the number of blocks and headers we know we have in
-common with each peer. While synchronizing, the heights of the blocks that we
-have requested from peers (but haven't received yet) are also listed as
-'inflight'.
-- A new RPC `getchaintips` lists all known branches of the block chain,
-including those we only have headers for.
-
-Transaction fee changes
------------------------
-
-This release automatically estimates how high a transaction fee (or how
-high a priority) transactions require to be confirmed quickly. The default
-settings will create transactions that confirm quickly; see the new
-'txconfirmtarget' setting to control the tradeoff between fees and
-confirmation times. Fees are added by default unless the 'sendfreetransactions' 
-setting is enabled.
-
-Prior releases used hard-coded fees (and priorities), and would
-sometimes create transactions that took a very long time to confirm.
-
-Statistics used to estimate fees and priorities are saved in the
-data directory in the `fee_estimates.dat` file just before
-program shutdown, and are read in at startup.
-
-New command line options for transaction fee changes:
-- `-txconfirmtarget=n` : create transactions that have enough fees (or priority)
-so they are likely to begin confirmation within n blocks (default: 1). This setting
-is over-ridden by the -paytxfee option.
-- `-sendfreetransactions` : Send transactions as zero-fee transactions if possible 
-(default: 0)
-
-New RPC commands for fee estimation:
-- `estimatefee nblocks` : Returns approximate fee-per-1,000-bytes needed for
-a transaction to begin confirmation within nblocks. Returns -1 if not enough
-transactions have been observed to compute a good estimate.
-- `estimatepriority nblocks` : Returns approximate priority needed for
-a zero-fee transaction to begin confirmation within nblocks. Returns -1 if not
-enough free transactions have been observed to compute a good
-estimate.
-
-RPC access control changes
---------------------------
-
-Subnet matching for the purpose of access control is now done
-by matching the binary network address, instead of with string wildcard matching.
-For the user this means that `-rpcallowip` takes a subnet specification, which can be
-
-- a single IP address (e.g. `1.2.3.4` or `fe80::0012:3456:789a:bcde`)
-- a network/CIDR (e.g. `1.2.3.0/24` or `fe80::0000/64`)
-- a network/netmask (e.g. `1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0` or `fe80::0012:3456:789a:bcde/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff`)
-
-An arbitrary number of `-rpcallow` arguments can be given. An incoming connection will be accepted if its origin address
-matches one of them.
-
-For example:
-
-| 0.9.x and before                           | 0.10.x                                |
-|--------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
-| `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.1`                  | `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.1` (unchanged) |
-| `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.*`                  | `-rpcallowip=192.168.1.0/24`          |
-| `-rpcallowip=192.168.*`                    | `-rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/16`          |
-| `-rpcallowip=*` (dangerous!)               | `-rpcallowip=::/0` (still dangerous!) |
-
-Using wildcards will result in the rule being rejected with the following error in debug.log:
-
-    Error: Invalid -rpcallowip subnet specification: *. Valid are a single IP (e.g. 1.2.3.4), a network/netmask (e.g. 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0) or a network/CIDR (e.g. 1.2.3.4/24).
-
-
-REST interface
---------------
-
-A new HTTP API is exposed when running with the `-rest` flag, which allows
-unauthenticated access to public node data.
-
-It is served on the same port as RPC, but does not need a password, and uses
-plain HTTP instead of JSON-RPC.
-
-Assuming a local RPC server running on port 8332, it is possible to request:
-- Blocks: http://localhost:8332/rest/block/*HASH*.*EXT*
-- Blocks without transactions: http://localhost:8332/rest/block/notxdetails/*HASH*.*EXT*
-- Transactions (requires `-txindex`): http://localhost:8332/rest/tx/*HASH*.*EXT*
-
-In every case, *EXT* can be `bin` (for raw binary data), `hex` (for hex-encoded
-binary) or `json`.
-
-For more details, see the `doc/REST-interface.md` document in the repository.
-
-RPC Server "Warm-Up" Mode
--------------------------
-
-The RPC server is started earlier now, before most of the expensive
-intialisations like loading the block index.  It is available now almost
-immediately after starting the process.  However, until all initialisations
-are done, it always returns an immediate error with code -28 to all calls.
-
-This new behaviour can be useful for clients to know that a server is already
-started and will be available soon (for instance, so that they do not
-have to start it themselves).
-
-Improved signing security
--------------------------
-
-For 0.10 the security of signing against unusual attacks has been
-improved by making the signatures constant time and deterministic.
-
-This change is a result of switching signing to use libsecp256k1
-instead of OpenSSL. Libsecp256k1 is a cryptographic library
-optimized for the curve Bitcoin uses which was created by Bitcoin
-Core developer Pieter Wuille.
-
-There exist attacks[1] against most ECC implementations where an
-attacker on shared virtual machine hardware could extract a private
-key if they could cause a target to sign using the same key hundreds
-of times. While using shared hosts and reusing keys are inadvisable
-for other reasons, it's a better practice to avoid the exposure.
-
-OpenSSL has code in their source repository for derandomization
-and reduction in timing leaks that we've eagerly wanted to use for a
-long time, but this functionality has still not made its
-way into a released version of OpenSSL. Libsecp256k1 achieves
-significantly stronger protection: As far as we're aware this is
-the only deployed implementation of constant time signing for
-the curve Bitcoin uses and we have reason to believe that
-libsecp256k1 is better tested and more thoroughly reviewed
-than the implementation in OpenSSL.

-
-Watch-only wallet support
--------------------------
-
-The wallet can now track transactions to and from wallets for which you know
-all addresses (or scripts), even without the private keys.
-
-This can be used to track payments without needing the private keys online on a
-possibly vulnerable system. In addition, it can help for (manual) construction
-of multisig transactions where you are only one of the signers.
-
-One new RPC, `importaddress`, is added which functions similarly to
-`importprivkey`, but instead takes an address or script (in hexadecimal) as
-argument.  After using it, outputs credited to this address or script are
-considered to be received, and transactions consuming these outputs will be
-considered to be sent.
-
-The following RPCs have optional support for watch-only:
-`getbalance`, `listreceivedbyaddress`, `listreceivedbyaccount`,
-`listtransactions`, `listaccounts`, `listsinceblock`, `gettransaction`. See the
-RPC documentation for those methods for more information.
-
-Compared to using `getrawtransaction`, this mechanism does not require
-`-txindex`, scales better, integrates better with the wallet, and is compatible
-with future block chain pruning functionality. It does mean that all relevant
-addresses need to added to the wallet before the payment, though.
-
-Consensus library
------------------
-
-Starting from 0.10.0, the Bitcoin Core distribution includes a consensus library.
-
-The purpose of this library is to make the verification functionality that is
-critical to Bitcoin's consensus available to other applications, e.g. to language
-bindings such as [python-bitcoinlib](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-bitcoinlib) or
-alternative node implementations.
-
-This library is called `libbitcoinconsensus.so` (or, `.dll` for Windows).
-Its interface is defined in the C header [bitcoinconsensus.h](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/0.10/src/script/bitcoinconsensus.h).
-
-In its initial version the API includes two functions:
-
-- `bitcoinconsensus_verify_script` verifies a script. It returns whether the indicated input of the provided serialized transaction 
-correctly spends the passed scriptPubKey under additional constraints indicated by flags
-- `bitcoinconsensus_version` returns the API version, currently at an experimental `0`
-
-The functionality is planned to be extended to e.g. UTXO management in upcoming releases, but the interface
-for existing methods should remain stable.
-
-Standard script rules relaxed for P2SH addresses
-------------------------------------------------
-
-The IsStandard() rules have been almost completely removed for P2SH
-redemption scripts, allowing applications to make use of any valid
-script type, such as "n-of-m OR y", hash-locked oracle addresses, etc.
-While the Bitcoin protocol has always supported these types of script,
-actually using them on mainnet has been previously inconvenient as
-standard Bitcoin Core nodes wouldn't relay them to miners, nor would
-most miners include them in blocks they mined.
-
-bitcoin-tx
-----------
-
-It has been observed that many of the RPC functions offered by bitcoind are
-"pure functions", and operate independently of the bitcoind wallet. This
-included many of the RPC "raw transaction" API functions, such as
-createrawtransaction.
-
-bitcoin-tx is a newly introduced command line utility designed to enable easy
-manipulation of bitcoin transactions. A summary of its operation may be
-obtained via "bitcoin-tx --help" Transactions may be created or signed in a
-manner similar to the RPC raw tx API. Transactions may be updated, deleting
-inputs or outputs, or appending new inputs and outputs. Custom scripts may be
-easily composed using a simple text notation, borrowed from the bitcoin test
-suite.
-
-This tool may be used for experimenting with new transaction types, signing
-multi-party transactions, and many other uses. Long term, the goal is to
-deprecate and remove "pure function" RPC API calls, as those do not require a
-server round-trip to execute.
-
-Other utilities "bitcoin-key" and "bitcoin-script" have been proposed, making
-key and script operations easily accessible via command line.
-
-Mining and relay policy enhancements
-------------------------------------
-
-Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining
-software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use
-libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward.
-If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin
-Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status.
-If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you.
-If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect
-you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66
-achieving its 951/1001 status.
-
-The `prioritisetransaction` RPC method has been added to enable miners to
-manipulate the priority of transactions on an individual basis.
-
-Bitcoin Core now supports BIP 22 long polling, so mining software can be
-notified immediately of new templates rather than having to poll periodically.
-
-Support for BIP 23 block proposals is now available in Bitcoin Core's
-`getblocktemplate` method. This enables miners to check the basic validity of
-their next block before expending work on it, reducing risks of accidental
-hardforks or mining invalid blocks.
-
-Two new options to control mining policy:
-- `-datacarrier=0/1` : Relay and mine "data carrier" (OP_RETURN) transactions
-if this is 1.
-- `-datacarriersize=n` : Maximum size, in bytes, we consider acceptable for
-"data carrier" outputs.
-
-The relay policy has changed to more properly implement the desired behavior of not 
-relaying free (or very low fee) transactions unless they have a priority above the 
-AllowFreeThreshold(), in which case they are relayed subject to the rate limiter.
-
-BIP 66: strict DER encoding for signatures
-------------------------------------------
-
-Bitcoin Core 0.10 implements BIP 66, which introduces block version 3, and a new
-consensus rule, which prohibits non-DER signatures. Such transactions have been
-non-standard since Bitcoin v0.8.0 (released in February 2013), but were
-technically still permitted inside blocks.
-
-This change breaks the dependency on OpenSSL's signature parsing, and is
-required if implementations would want to remove all of OpenSSL from the
-consensus code.
-
-The same miner-voting mechanism as in BIP 34 is used: when 751 out of a
-sequence of 1001 blocks have version number 3 or higher, the new consensus
-rule becomes active for those blocks. When 951 out of a sequence of 1001
-blocks have version number 3 or higher, it becomes mandatory for all blocks.
-
-Backward compatibility with current mining software is NOT provided, thus miners
-should read the first paragraph of "Mining and relay policy enhancements" above.

-Bitcoin Core version 0.10.1 is now available from:
-
-  <https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.10.1/>
-
-This is a new minor version release, bringing bug fixes and translation 
-updates. It is recommended to upgrade to this version.
-
-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).
-
-Downgrade warning
-------------------
-
-Because release 0.10.0 and later makes use of headers-first synchronization and
-parallel block download (see further), the block files and databases are not
-backwards-compatible with pre-0.10 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software:
-
-* Blocks will be stored on disk out of order (in the order they are
-received, really), which makes it incompatible with some tools or
-other programs. Reindexing using earlier versions will also not work
-anymore as a result of this.
-
-* The block index database will now hold headers for which no block is
-stored on disk, which earlier versions won't support.
-
-If you want to be able to downgrade smoothly, make a backup of your entire data
-directory. Without this your node will need start syncing (or importing from
-bootstrap.dat) anew afterwards. It is possible that the data from a completely
-synchronised 0.10 node may be usable in older versions as-is, but this is not
-supported and may break as soon as the older version attempts to reindex.
-
-This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility.
-

-
-Notable changes
-===============
-
-Fix buffer overflow in bundled upnp
-------------------------------------
-
-Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 1.9.20151008. This fixes a buffer overflow in
-the XML parser during initial network discovery.
-
-Details can be found here: http://talosintel.com/reports/TALOS-2015-0035/
-
-This applies to the distributed executables only, not when building from source or
-using distribution provided packages.
-
-Additionally, upnp has been disabled by default. This may result in a lower
-number of reachable nodes on IPv4, however this prevents future libupnpc
-vulnerabilities from being a structural risk to the network
-(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6795).
-
-Test for LowS signatures before relaying
------------------------------------------
-
-Make the node require the canonical 'low-s' encoding for ECDSA signatures when
-relaying or mining.  This removes a nuisance malleability vector.
-
-Consensus behavior is unchanged.
-
-If widely deployed this change would eliminate the last remaining known vector
-for nuisance malleability on SIGHASH_ALL P2PKH transactions. On the down-side
-it will block most transactions made by sufficiently out of date software.
-
-Unlike the other avenues to change txids on transactions this
-one was randomly violated by all deployed bitcoin software prior to
-its discovery. So, while other malleability vectors where made
-non-standard as soon as they were discovered, this one has remained
-permitted. Even BIP62 did not propose applying this rule to
-old version transactions, but conforming implementations have become
-much more common since BIP62 was initially written.
-
-Bitcoin Core has produced compatible signatures since a28fb70e in
-September 2013, but this didn't make it into a release until 0.9
-in March 2014; Bitcoinj has done so for a similar span of time.
-Bitcoinjs and electrum have been more recently updated.
-
-This does not replace the need for BIP62 or similar, as miners can
-still cooperate to break transactions.  Nor does it replace the
-need for wallet software to handle malleability sanely[1]. This
-only eliminates the cheap and irritating DOS attack.

-http://fc15.ifca.ai/preproceedings/bitcoin/paper_9.pdf
-
-Minimum relay fee default increase
------------------------------------
-
-The default for the `-minrelaytxfee` setting has been increased from `0.00001`
-to `0.00005`.
-
-This is necessitated by the current transaction flooding, causing
-outrageous memory usage on nodes due to the mempool ballooning. This is a
-temporary measure, bridging the time until a dynamic method for determining
-this fee is merged (which will be in 0.12).
-
-(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6793, as well as the 0.11.0
-release notes, in which this value was suggested)

-Bitcoin Core version 0.11.1 is now available from:
-
-  <https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.11.1/>
-
-This is a new minor version release, bringing security fixes. It is recommended
-to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
-
-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).
-
-Downgrade warning
-------------------
-
-Because release 0.10.0 and later makes use of headers-first synchronization and
-parallel block download (see further), the block files and databases are not
-backwards-compatible with pre-0.10 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software:
-
-* Blocks will be stored on disk out of order (in the order they are
-received, really), which makes it incompatible with some tools or
-other programs. Reindexing using earlier versions will also not work
-anymore as a result of this.
-
-* The block index database will now hold headers for which no block is
-stored on disk, which earlier versions won't support.
-
-If you want to be able to downgrade smoothly, make a backup of your entire data
-directory. Without this your node will need start syncing (or importing from
-bootstrap.dat) anew afterwards. It is possible that the data from a completely
-synchronised 0.10 node may be usable in older versions as-is, but this is not
-supported and may break as soon as the older version attempts to reindex.
-
-This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility. There are no
-known problems when downgrading from 0.11.x to 0.10.x.
-
-Notable changes
-===============
-
-Fix buffer overflow in bundled upnp
-------------------------------------
-
-Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 1.9.20151008. This fixes a buffer overflow in
-the XML parser during initial network discovery.
-
-Details can be found here: http://talosintel.com/reports/TALOS-2015-0035/
-
-This applies to the distributed executables only, not when building from source or
-using distribution provided packages.
-
-Additionally, upnp has been disabled by default. This may result in a lower
-number of reachable nodes on IPv4, however this prevents future libupnpc
-vulnerabilities from being a structural risk to the network
-(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6795).
-
-Test for LowS signatures before relaying
------------------------------------------
-
-Make the node require the canonical 'low-s' encoding for ECDSA signatures when
-relaying or mining.  This removes a nuisance malleability vector.
-
-Consensus behavior is unchanged.
-
-If widely deployed this change would eliminate the last remaining known vector
-for nuisance malleability on SIGHASH_ALL P2PKH transactions. On the down-side
-it will block most transactions made by sufficiently out of date software.
-
-Unlike the other avenues to change txids on transactions this
-one was randomly violated by all deployed bitcoin software prior to
-its discovery. So, while other malleability vectors where made
-non-standard as soon as they were discovered, this one has remained
-permitted. Even BIP62 did not propose applying this rule to
-old version transactions, but conforming implementations have become
-much more common since BIP62 was initially written.
-
-Bitcoin Core has produced compatible signatures since a28fb70e in
-September 2013, but this didn't make it into a release until 0.9
-in March 2014; Bitcoinj has done so for a similar span of time.
-Bitcoinjs and electrum have been more recently updated.
-
-This does not replace the need for BIP62 or similar, as miners can
-still cooperate to break transactions.  Nor does it replace the
-need for wallet software to handle malleability sanely[1]. This
-only eliminates the cheap and irritating DOS attack.

-http://fc15.ifca.ai/preproceedings/bitcoin/paper_9.pdf
-
-Minimum relay fee default increase
------------------------------------
-
-The default for the `-minrelaytxfee` setting has been increased from `0.00001`
-to `0.00005`.
-
-This is necessitated by the current transaction flooding, causing
-outrageous memory usage on nodes due to the mempool ballooning. This is a
-temporary measure, bridging the time until a dynamic method for determining
-this fee is merged (which will be in 0.12).
-
-(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6793, as well as the 0.11
-release notes, in which this value was suggested)

-
-Notable changes since 0.11.1
-============================
-
-BIP65 soft fork to enforce OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcode
---------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release includes several changes related to the [BIP65][] soft fork
-which redefines the existing OP_NOP2 opcode as OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY
-(CLTV) so that a transaction output can be made unspendable until a
-specified point in the future.
-
-1. This release will only relay and mine transactions spending a CLTV
-   output if they comply with the BIP65 rules as provided in code.
-
-2. This release will produce version 4 blocks by default. Please see the
-   *notice to miners* below.
-
-3. Once 951 out of a sequence of 1,001 blocks on the local node's best block
-   chain contain version 4 (or higher) blocks, this release will no
-   longer accept new version 3 blocks and it will only accept version 4
-   blocks if they comply with the BIP65 rules for CLTV.
-
-For more information about the soft-forking change, please see
-<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6351>
-
-Graphs showing the progress towards block version 4 adoption may be
-found at the URLs below:
-
-- Block versions over the last 50,000 blocks as progress towards BIP65
-  consensus enforcement: <http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-50k.png>
-
-- Block versions over the last 2,000 blocks showing the days to the
-  earliest possible BIP65 consensus-enforced block: <http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-2k.png>
-
-**Notice to miners:** Bitcoin Core’s block templates are now for
-version 4 blocks only, and any mining software relying on its
-getblocktemplate must be updated in parallel to use libblkmaker either
-version 0.4.3 or any version from 0.5.2 onward.
-
-- If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade
-  Bitcoin Core, which must be done prior to BIP65 achieving its 951/1001
-  status.
-
-- If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not
-  affect you.
-
-- If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this
-  will affect you at the pool operator’s discretion, which must be no
-  later than BIP65 achieving its 951/1001 status.

-
-BIP113 mempool-only locktime enforcement using GetMedianTimePast()
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Bitcoin transactions currently may specify a locktime indicating when
-they may be added to a valid block.  Current consensus rules require
-that blocks have a block header time greater than the locktime specified
-in any transaction in that block.
-
-Miners get to choose what time they use for their header time, with the
-consensus rule being that no node will accept a block whose time is more
-than two hours in the future.  This creates a incentive for miners to
-set their header times to future values in order to include locktimed
-transactions which weren't supposed to be included for up to two more
-hours.
-
-The consensus rules also specify that valid blocks may have a header
-time greater than that of the median of the 11 previous blocks.  This
-GetMedianTimePast() time has a key feature we generally associate with
-time: it can't go backwards.
-
-[BIP113][] specifies a soft fork (**not enforced in this release**) that
-weakens this perverse incentive for individual miners to use a future
-time by requiring that valid blocks have a computed GetMedianTimePast()
-greater than the locktime specified in any transaction in that block.
-
-Mempool inclusion rules currently require transactions to be valid for
-immediate inclusion in a block in order to be accepted into the mempool.
-This release begins applying the BIP113 rule to received transactions,
-so transaction whose time is greater than the GetMedianTimePast() will
-no longer be accepted into the mempool.
-
-**Implication for miners:** you will begin rejecting transactions that
-would not be valid under BIP113, which will prevent you from producing
-invalid blocks if/when BIP113 is enforced on the network. Any
-transactions which are valid under the current rules but not yet valid
-under the BIP113 rules will either be mined by other miners or delayed
-until they are valid under BIP113. Note, however, that time-based
-locktime transactions are more or less unseen on the network currently.
-
-**Implication for users:** GetMedianTimePast() always trails behind the
-current time, so a transaction locktime set to the present time will be
-rejected by nodes running this release until the median time moves
-forward. To compensate, subtract one hour (3,600 seconds) from your
-locktimes to allow those transactions to be included in mempools at
-approximately the expected time.
-
-[BIP113]: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0113.mediawiki
-
-Windows bug fix for corrupted UTXO database on unclean shutdowns
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Several Windows users reported that they often need to reindex the
-entire blockchain after an unclean shutdown of Bitcoin Core on Windows
-(or an unclean shutdown of Windows itself). Although unclean shutdowns
-remain unsafe, this release no longer relies on memory-mapped files for
-the UTXO database, which significantly reduced the frequency of unclean
-shutdowns leading to required reindexes during testing.
-
-For more information, see: <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6917>
-
-Other fixes for database corruption on Windows are expected in the
-next major release.

-Binaries for Bitcoin version 0.3.21 are available at:
-  https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.21/
-
-Changes and new features from the 0.3.20 release include:
-
-* Universal Plug and Play support.  Enable automatic opening of a port for incoming connections by running bitcoin or bitcoind with the - -upnp=1 command line switch or using the Options dialog box.
-
-* Support for full-precision bitcoin amounts.  You can now send, and bitcoin will display, bitcoin amounts smaller than 0.01.  However, sending fewer than 0.01 bitcoins still requires a 0.01 bitcoin fee (so you can send 1.0001 bitcoins without a fee, but you will be asked to pay a fee if you try to send 0.0001).
-
-* A new method of finding bitcoin nodes to connect with, via DNS A records. Use the -dnsseed option to enable.
-
-For developers, changes to bitcoin's remote-procedure-call API:
-
-* New rpc command "sendmany" to send bitcoins to more than one address in a single transaction.
-
-* Several bug fixes, including a serious intermittent bug that would sometimes cause bitcoind to stop accepting rpc requests. 
-
-* -logtimestamps option, to add a timestamp to each line in debug.log.
-
-* Immature blocks (newly generated, under 120 confirmations) are now shown in listtransactions.

-This is largely a bugfix and TX fee schedule release.  We also hope to make 0.3.23 a quick release, to fix problems that the network has seen due to explosive growth in the past week.
-
-Notable changes:
-* Client will accept and relay TX's with 0.0005 BTC fee schedule (users still pay 0.01 BTC per kb, until next version)
-* Non-standard transactions accepted on testnet
-* Source code tree reorganized (prep for autotools build)
-* Remove "Generate Coins" option from GUI, and remove 4way SSE miner.  Internal reference CPU miner remains available, but users are directed to external miners for best hash production.
-* IRC is overflowing.  Client now bootstraps to channels #bitcoin00 - #bitcoin99
-* DNS names now may be used with -addnode, -connect (requires -dns to enable)
-
-RPC changes:
-* 'listtransactions' adds 'from' param, for range queries
-* 'move' may take account balances negative
-* 'settxfee' added, to manually set TX fee

-Main items of note:
-
-* P2P connect-to-node logic changed to reduce timeout a bit.  The network saw a huge influx of new users, who do not permit incoming connections.  This change is a short-term hack, to more quickly hunt for useful P2P connections.  Better "leaf node" logic is in the works, but this should let us limp along until then.  One may use -upnp to properly forward ports, and help the network.

-Bitcoin v0.3.24 is now available for download at
-https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.24/
-
-This is another bug fix release.  We had hoped to have wallet encryption ready for release, but more urgent fixes for existing clients were needed -- most notably block download problems were getting severe.  Wallet encryption is ready for testing at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/352 for the git-savvy, and hopefully will follow shortly in the next release, v0.4.
-
-Notable fixes in v0.3.24, and the main reasons for this release:
-
-F1) Block downloads were failing or taking unreasonable amounts of time to complete, because the increased size of the block chain was bumping up against some earlier buffer-size DoS limits.
-
-F2) Fix crash caused by loss/lack of network connection.
-
-Notable changes in v0.3.24:
-
-C1) DNS seeding enabled by default.
-
-C2) UPNP enabled by default in the GUI client.  The percentage of bitcoin clients that accept incoming connections is quite small, and that is a problem.  This should help.  bitcoind, and unofficial builds, are unchanged (though we encourage use of "-upnp" to help the network!)
-
-C3) Initial unit testing framework.  Bitcoin sorely needs automated tests, and this is a beginning.  Contributions welcome.
-
-C4) Internal wallet code cleanup.  While invisible to an end user, this change provides the basis for v0.4's wallet encryption.

-Bitcoin version 0.4.0 is now available for download at:
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.4.0/
-
-The main feature in this release is wallet private key encryption;
-you can set a passphrase that must be entered before sending coins.
-See below for more information; if you decide to encrypt your wallet,
-WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSPHRASE AND PUT IT IN A SECURE LOCATION. If you
-forget or lose your wallet passphrase, you lose your bitcoins.
-Previous versions of bitcoin are unable to read encrypted wallets,
-and will crash on startup if the wallet is encrypted.
-
-Also note: bitcoin version 0.4 uses a newer version of Berkeley DB
-(bdb version 4.8) than previous versions (bdb 4.7). If you upgrade
-to version 0.4 and then revert back to an earlier version of bitcoin
-the it may be unable to start because bdb 4.7 cannot read bdb 4.8
-"log" files.
-
-
-Notable bug fixes from version 0.3.24:
-
-Fix several bitcoin-becomes-unresponsive bugs due to multithreading
-deadlocks.
-
-Optimize database writes for large (lots of inputs) transactions
-(fixes a potential denial-of-service attack)
-
-
-Wallet Encryption
-
-Bitcoin supports native wallet encryption so that people who steal your
-wallet file don't automatically get access to all of your Bitcoins.
-In order to enable this feature, choose "Encrypt Wallet" from the
-Options menu.  You will be prompted to enter a passphrase, which
-will be used as the key to encrypt your wallet and will be needed
-every time you wish to send Bitcoins.  If you lose this passphrase,
-you will lose access to spend all of the bitcoins in your wallet,
-no one, not even the Bitcoin developers can recover your Bitcoins.
-This means you are responsible for your own security, store your
-passphrase in a secure location and do not forget it.
-
-Remember that the encryption built into bitcoin only encrypts the
-actual keys which are required to send your bitcoins, not the full
-wallet.  This means that someone who steals your wallet file will
-be able to see all the addresses which belong to you, as well as the
-relevant transactions, you are only protected from someone spending
-your coins.
-
-It is recommended that you backup your wallet file before you
-encrypt your wallet.  To do this, close the Bitcoin client and
-copy the wallet.dat file from ~/.bitcoin/ on Linux, /Users/(user
-name)/Application Support/Bitcoin/ on Mac OSX, and %APPDATA%/Bitcoin/
-on Windows (that is /Users/(user name)/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin on
-Windows Vista and 7 and /Documents and Settings/(user name)/Application
-Data/Bitcoin on Windows XP).  Once you have copied that file to a
-safe location, reopen the Bitcoin client and Encrypt your wallet.
-If everything goes fine, delete the backup and enjoy your encrypted
-wallet.  Note that once you encrypt your wallet, you will never be
-able to go back to a version of the Bitcoin client older than 0.4.
-
-Keep in mind that you are always responsible for your own security.
-All it takes is a slightly more advanced wallet-stealing trojan which
-installs a keylogger to steal your wallet passphrase as you enter it
-in addition to your wallet file and you have lost all your Bitcoins.
-Wallet encryption cannot keep you safe if you do not practice
-good security, such as running up-to-date antivirus software, only
-entering your wallet passphrase in the Bitcoin client and using the
-same passphrase only as your wallet passphrase.
-
-See the doc/README file in the bitcoin source for technical details
-of wallet encryption.

-Bitcoin version 0.4.1 is now available for download at:
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.4.1/
-
-This is a bugfix only release based on 0.4.0.
-
-Please report bugs by replying to this forum thread.
-
-MAJOR BUG FIX  (CVE-2011-4447)
-
-The wallet encryption feature introduced in Bitcoin version 0.4.0 did not sufficiently secure the private keys. An attacker who
-managed to get a copy of your encrypted wallet.dat file might be able to recover some or all of the unencrypted keys and steal the
-associated coins.
-
-If you have a previously encrypted wallet.dat, the first time you run wxbitcoin or bitcoind the wallet will be rewritten, Bitcoin will
-shut down, and you will be prompted to restart it to run with the new, properly encrypted file.
-
-If you had a previously encrypted wallet.dat that might have been copied or stolen (for example, you backed it up to a public
-location) you should send all of your bitcoins to yourself using a new bitcoin address and stop using any previously generated addresses.
-
-Wallets encrypted with this version of Bitcoin are written properly.
-
-Technical note: the encrypted wallet's 'keypool' will be regenerated the first time you request a new bitcoin address; to be certain that the
-new private keys are properly backed up you should:
-
-1. Run Bitcoin and let it rewrite the wallet.dat file
-
-2. Run it again, then ask it for a new bitcoin address.
-wxBitcoin: new address visible on main window
-bitcoind: run the 'walletpassphrase' RPC command to unlock the wallet,  then run the 'getnewaddress' RPC command.
-
-3. If your encrypted wallet.dat may have been copied or stolen, send all of your bitcoins to the new bitcoin address.
-
-4. Shut down Bitcoin, then backup the wallet.dat file.
-IMPORTANT: be sure to request a new bitcoin address before backing up, so that the 'keypool' is regenerated and backed up.
-
-"Security in depth" is always a good idea, so choosing a secure location for the backup and/or encrypting the backup before uploading it is recommended. And as in previous releases, if your machine is infected by malware there are several ways an attacker might steal your bitcoins.

-
-KNOWN ISSUES
-
-Shutting down while synchronizing with the network
-(downloading the blockchain) can take more than a minute,
-because database writes are queued to speed up download
-time.
-
-
-NEW FEATURES SINCE BITCOIN VERSION 0.5
-
-Initial network synchronization should be much faster
-(one or two hours on a typical machine instead of ten or more
-hours).
-
-Backup Wallet menu option.
-
-Bitcoin-Qt can display and save QR codes for sending
-and receiving addresses.
-
-New context menu on addresses to copy/edit/delete them.
-
-New Sign Message dialog that allows you to prove that you
-own a bitcoin address by creating a digital
-signature.
-
-New wallets created with this version will
-use 33-byte 'compressed' public keys instead of
-65-byte public keys, resulting in smaller
-transactions and less traffic on the bitcoin
-network. The shorter keys are already supported
-by the network but wallet.dat files containing
-short keys are not compatible with earlier
-versions of Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind.
-
-New command-line argument -blocknotify=<command>
-that will spawn a shell process to run <command> 
-when a new block is accepted.
-
-New command-line argument -splash=0 to disable
-Bitcoin-Qt's initial splash screen
-
-validateaddress JSON-RPC api command output includes
-two new fields for addresses in the wallet:
-pubkey : hexadecimal public key
-iscompressed : true if pubkey is a short 33-byte key
-
-New JSON-RPC api commands for dumping/importing
-private keys from the wallet (dumprivkey, importprivkey).
-
-New JSON-RPC api command for getting information about
-blocks (getblock, getblockhash).
-
-New JSON-RPC api command (getmininginfo) for getting
-extra information related to mining. The getinfo
-JSON-RPC command no longer includes mining-related
-information (generate/genproclimit/hashespersec).
-
-
-
-NOTABLE CHANGES
-
-BIP30 implemented (security fix for an attack involving
-duplicate "coinbase transactions").
-
-The -nolisten, -noupnp and -nodnsseed command-line
-options were renamed to -listen, -upnp and -dnsseed,
-with a default value of 1. The old names are still
-supported for compatibility (so specifying -nolisten
-is automatically interpreted as -listen=0; every
-boolean argument can now be specified as either
--foo or -nofoo).
-
-The -noirc command-line options was renamed to
--irc, with a default value of 0. Run -irc=1 to
-get the old behavior.
-
-Three fill-up-available-memory denial-of-service
-attacks were fixed.
-
-
-NOT YET IMPLEMENTED FEATURES
-
-Support for clicking on bitcoin: URIs and
-opening/launching Bitcoin-Qt is available only on Linux,
-and only if you configure your desktop to launch
-Bitcoin-Qt. All platforms support dragging and dropping
-bitcoin: URIs onto the Bitcoin-Qt window to start
-payment.
-
-
-PRELIMINARY SUPPORT FOR MULTISIGNATURE TRANSACTIONS
-
-This release has preliminary support for multisignature
-transactions-- transactions that require authorization
-from more than one person or device before they
-will be accepted by the bitcoin network.
-
-Prior to this release, multisignature transactions
-were considered 'non-standard' and were ignored;
-with this release multisignature transactions are
-considered standard and will start to be relayed
-and accepted into blocks.
-
-It is expected that future releases of Bitcoin-Qt
-will support the creation of multisignature transactions,
-once enough of the network has upgraded so relaying
-and validating them is robust.
-
-For this release, creation and testing of multisignature
-transactions is limited to the bitcoin test network using
-the "addmultisigaddress" JSON-RPC api call.
-
-Short multisignature address support is included in this
-release, as specified in BIP 13 and BIP 16.

-versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over

-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.
-
-Explanation of -detachdb (and the new "stop true" RPC command):
-The Berkeley DB database library stores data in both ".dat" and
-"log" files, so the database is always in a consistent state,
-even in case of power failure or other sudden shutdown. The
-format of the ".dat" files is portable between different
-versions of Berkeley DB, but the "log" files are not-- even minor
-version differences may have incompatible "log" files. The
--detachdb option moves any pending changes from the "log" files
-to the "blkindex.dat" file for maximum compatibility, but makes
-shutdown much slower. Note that the "wallet.dat" file is always
-detached, and versions prior to 0.6.0 detached all databases
-at shutdown.
-
-New features
-------------
-
-* Added a boolean argument to the RPC 'stop' command, if true sets
-  -detachdb to create standalone database .dat files before shutting down.
-
-* -salvagewallet command-line option, which moves any existing wallet.dat
-  to wallet.{timestamp}.dat and then attempts to salvage public/private
-  keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into
-  a new wallet.dat. This should only be used if your wallet becomes
-  corrupted, and is not intended to replace regular wallet backups.
-
-* Import $DataDir/bootstrap.dat automatically, if it exists.
-
-Dependency changes
-------------------
-
-* Qt 4.8.2 for Windows builds
-
-* openssl 1.0.1c
-
-Bug fixes
----------
-
-* Clicking on a bitcoin: URI on Windows should now launch Bitcoin-Qt properly.
-
-* When running -testnet, use RPC port 18332 by default.
-
-* Better detection and handling of corrupt wallet.dat and blkindex.dat files.
-  Previous versions would crash with a DB_RUNRECOVERY exception, this
-  version detects most problems and tells you how to recover if it
-  cannot recover itself.
-
-* Fixed an uninitialized variable bug that could cause transactions to
-  be reported out of order.
-
-* Fixed a bug that could cause occasional crashes on exit.
-
-* Warn the user that they need to create fresh wallet backups after they
-  encrypt their wallet.

-Bitcoin-Qt version 0.8.0 is now available from:
-  http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.0/
-
-This is a major release designed to improve performance and handle the
-increasing volume of transactions on the network.
-
-Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
-  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
-
-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).
-
-The first time you run after the upgrade a re-indexing process will be
-started that will take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours,
-depending on the speed of your machine.
-
-Incompatible Changes
---------------------
-
-This release no longer maintains a full index of historical transaction ids
-by default, so looking up an arbitrary transaction using the getrawtransaction
-RPC call will not work. If you need that functionality, you must run once
-with -txindex=1 -reindex=1 to rebuild block-chain indices (see below for more
-details).
-
-Improvements
-------------
-
-Mac and Windows binaries are signed with certificates owned by the Bitcoin
-Foundation, to be compatible with the new security features in OSX 10.8 and
-Windows 8.
-
-LevelDB, a fast, open-source, non-relational database from Google, is
-now used to store transaction and block indices.  LevelDB works much better
-on machines with slow I/O and is faster in general. Berkeley DB is now only
-used for the wallet.dat file (public and private wallet keys and transactions
-relevant to you).
-
-Pieter Wuille implemented many optimizations to the way transactions are
-verified, so a running, synchronized node uses less working memory and does
-much less I/O. He also implemented parallel signature checking, so if you
-have a multi-CPU machine all CPUs will be used to verify transactions.
-
-New Features
-------------
-
-"Bloom filter" support in the network protocol for sending only relevant transactions to
-lightweight clients.
-
-contrib/verifysfbinaries is a shell-script to verify that the binary downloads
-at sourceforge have not been tampered with. If you are able, you can help make
-everybody's downloads more secure by running this occasionally to check PGP
-signatures against download file checksums.
-
-contrib/spendfrom is a python-language command-line utility that demonstrates
-how to use the "raw transactions" JSON-RPC api to send coins received from particular
-addresses (also known as "coin control").
-
-New/changed settings (command-line or bitcoin.conf file)
---------------------------------------------------------
-
-dbcache : controls LevelDB memory usage.
-
-par : controls how many threads to use to validate transactions. Defaults to the number
-of CPUs on your machine, use -par=1 to limit to a single CPU.
-
-txindex : maintains an extra index of old, spent transaction ids so they will be found
-by the getrawtransaction JSON-RPC method.
-
-reindex : rebuild block and transaction indices from the downloaded block data.
-
-New JSON-RPC API Features
--------------------------
-
-lockunspent / listlockunspent allow locking transaction outputs for a period of time so
-they will not be spent by other processes that might be accessing the same wallet.
-
-addnode / getaddednodeinfo methods, to connect to specific peers without restarting.
-
-importprivkey now takes an optional boolean parameter (default true) to control whether
-or not to rescan the blockchain for transactions after importing a new private key.
-
-Important Bug Fixes
--------------------
-
-Privacy leak: the position of the "change" output in most transactions was not being
-properly randomized, making network analysis of the transaction graph to identify
-users' wallets easier. 
-
-Zero-confirmation transaction vulnerability: accepting zero-confirmation transactions
-(transactions that have not yet been included in a block) from somebody you do not
-trust is still not recommended, because there will always be ways for attackers to
-double-spend zero-confirmation transactions. However, this release includes a bug
-fix that makes it a little bit more difficult for attackers to double-spend a
-certain type ("lockTime in the future") of zero-confirmation transaction.
-
-Dependency Changes
-------------------
-
-Qt 4.8.3 (compiling against older versions of Qt 4 should continue to work)

-0.8.2 Release notes
-
-Fee Policy changes
-
-The default fee for low-priority transactions is lowered from 0.0005 BTC 
-(for each 1,000 bytes in the transaction; an average transaction is
-about 500 bytes) to 0.0001 BTC.
-
-Payments (transaction outputs) of 0.543 times the minimum relay fee
-(0.00005430 BTC) are now considered 'non-standard', because storing them
-costs the network more than they are worth and spending them will usually
-cost their owner more in transaction fees than they are worth.
-
-Non-standard transactions are not relayed across the network, are not included
-in blocks by most miners, and will not show up in your wallet until they are
-included in a block.
-
-The default fee policy can be overridden using the -mintxfee and -minrelaytxfee
-command-line options, but note that we intend to replace the hard-coded fees
-with code that automatically calculates and suggests appropriate fees in the
-0.9 release and note that if you set a fee policy significantly different from
-the rest of the network your transactions may never confirm.
-
-Bitcoin-Qt changes
-
-* New icon and splash screen
-* Improve reporting of synchronization process
-* Remove hardcoded fee recommendations
-* Improve metadata of executable on MacOSX and Windows
-* Move export button to individual tabs instead of toolbar

-* Fix GUI disappearing problem on MacOSX (issue #1522)
-
-Linux/Unix:
-* Copy addresses to middle-mouse-button clipboard
-
-
-Command-line options
-
-* -walletnotify will call a command on receiving transactions that affect the wallet.
-* -alertnotify will call a command on receiving an alert from the network.
-* -par now takes a negative number, to leave a certain amount of cores free.
-
-JSON-RPC API changes
-
-* fixed a getblocktemplate bug that caused excessive CPU creating blocks.
-* listunspent now lists account and address information.
-* getinfo now also returns the time adjustment estimated from your peers.
-* getpeerinfo now returns bytessent, bytesrecv and syncnode.
-* gettxoutsetinfo returns statistics about the unspent transaction output database.
-* gettxout returns information about a specific unspent transaction output.
-
-
-Networking changes
-
-* Significant changes to the networking code, reducing latency and memory consumption.
-* Avoid initial block download stalling.
-* Remove IRC seeding support.
-* Performance tweaks.
-* Added testnet DNS seeds.
-

-0.8.4 Release notes
-===================
-
-Security issues
----------------
-
-An attacker could send a series of messages that resulted in
-an integer division-by-zero error in the Bloom Filter handling
-code, causing the Bitcoin-Qt or bitcoind process to crash.
-Bloom filters were introduced with version 0.8, so versions 0.8.0
-through 0.8.3 are vulnerable to this critical denial-of-service attack.
-
-A constant-time algorithm is now used to check RPC password
-guess attempts; fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2838
-(CVE-2013-4165)
-
-Implement a better fix for the fill-memory-with-orphan-transactions
-attack that was fixed in 0.8.3. See
-https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/buggy-cve-2013-4627-patch-open-new-vectors-of-attack/
-for a description of the weaknesses of the previous fix.
-(CVE-2013-4627)
-
-Bugs fixed
-----------
-
-Fix multi-block reorg transaction resurrection.
-
-Fix non-standard disconnected transactions causing mempool orphans.
-This bug could cause nodes running with the -debug flag to crash.
-
-OSX: use 'FD_FULLSYNC' with LevelDB, which will (hopefully!)
-prevent the database corruption issues many people have
-experienced on OSX.
-
-Linux: clicking on bitcoin: links was broken if you were using
-a Gnome-based desktop.
-
-Fix a hang-at-shutdown bug that only affects users that compile
-their own version of Bitcoin against Boost versions 1.50-1.52.
-

-Bitcoin Core version 0.9.0 is now available from:
-
-  https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/
-
-This is a new major version release, bringing both new features and
-bug fixes.
-
-Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
-
-  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
-
-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), uninstall all
-earlier versions of Bitcoin, 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
-0.9.0 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from 
-30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
-
-On Windows, do not forget to uninstall all earlier versions of the Bitcoin
-client first, especially if you are switching to the 64-bit version.
-
-Windows 64-bit installer
--------------------------
-
-New in 0.9.0 is the Windows 64-bit version of the client. There have been
-frequent reports of users running out of virtual memory on 32-bit systems
-during the initial sync. Because of this it is recommended to install the
-64-bit version if your system supports it.
-
-NOTE: Release candidate 2 Windows binaries are not code-signed; use PGP
-and the SHA256SUMS.asc file to make sure your binaries are correct.
-In the final 0.9.0 release, Windows setup.exe binaries will be code-signed.
-
-OSX 10.5 / 32-bit no longer supported
--------------------------------------
-
-0.9.0 drops support for older Macs. The minimum requirements are now:
-* A 64-bit-capable CPU (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3696);
-* Mac OS 10.6 or later (see https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1633).
-
-Downgrading warnings
---------------------
-
-The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous
-releases, so if you run 0.9 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).
-
-Rebranding to Bitcoin Core
----------------------------
-
-To reduce confusion between Bitcoin-the-network and Bitcoin-the-software we
-have renamed the reference client to Bitcoin Core.
-
-
-OP_RETURN and data in the block chain
--------------------------------------
-On OP_RETURN:  There was been some confusion and misunderstanding in
-the community, regarding the OP_RETURN feature in 0.9 and data in the
-blockchain.  This change is not an endorsement of storing data in the
-blockchain.  The OP_RETURN change creates a provably-prunable output,
-to avoid data storage schemes -- some of which were already deployed --
-that were storing arbitrary data such as images as forever-unspendable
-TX outputs, bloating bitcoin's UTXO database.
-
-Storing arbitrary data in the blockchain is still a bad idea; it is less
-costly and far more efficient to store non-currency data elsewhere.
-
-Autotools build system
------------------------
-
-For 0.9.0 we switched to an autotools-based build system instead of individual
-(q)makefiles.
-
-Using the standard "./autogen.sh; ./configure; make" to build Bitcoin-Qt and
-bitcoind makes it easier for experienced open source developers to contribute 
-to the project.
-
-Be sure to check doc/build-*.md for your platform before building from source.
-
-Bitcoin-cli
--------------
-
-Another change in the 0.9 release is moving away from the bitcoind executable
-functioning both as a server and as a RPC client. The RPC client functionality
-("tell the running bitcoin daemon to do THIS") was split into a separate
-executable, 'bitcoin-cli'. The RPC client code will eventually be removed from
-bitcoind, but will be kept for backwards compatibility for a release or two.
-
-`walletpassphrase` RPC
------------------------
-
-The behavior of the `walletpassphrase` RPC when the wallet is already unlocked
-has changed between 0.8 and 0.9.
-
-The 0.8 behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to fail when the wallet is already unlocked:
-
-    > walletpassphrase 1000
-    walletunlocktime = now + 1000
-    > walletpassphrase 10
-    Error: Wallet is already unlocked (old unlock time stays)
-
-The new behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to set a new unlock time overriding
-the old one:
-
-    > walletpassphrase 1000
-    walletunlocktime = now + 1000
-    > walletpassphrase 10
-    walletunlocktime = now + 10 (overriding the old unlock time)
-
-Transaction malleability-related fixes
---------------------------------------
-
-This release contains a few fixes for transaction ID (TXID) malleability 
-issues:
-
-- -nospendzeroconfchange command-line option, to avoid spending
-  zero-confirmation change
-- IsStandard() transaction rules tightened to prevent relaying and mining of
-  mutated transactions
-- Additional information in listtransactions/gettransaction output to
-  report wallet transactions that conflict with each other because
-  they spend the same outputs.
-- Bug fixes to the getbalance/listaccounts RPC commands, which would report
-  incorrect balances for double-spent (or mutated) transactions.
-- New option: -zapwallettxes to rebuild the wallet's transaction information
-
-Transaction Fees
-----------------
-
-This release drops the default fee required to relay transactions across the
-network and for miners to consider the transaction in their blocks to
-0.01mBTC per kilobyte.
-
-Note that getting a transaction relayed across the network does NOT guarantee
-that the transaction will be accepted by a miner; by default, miners fill
-their blocks with 50 kilobytes of high-priority transactions, and then with
-700 kilobytes of the highest-fee-per-kilobyte transactions.
-
-The minimum relay/mining fee-per-kilobyte may be changed with the
-minrelaytxfee option. Note that previous releases incorrectly used
-the mintxfee setting to determine which low-priority transactions should
-be considered for inclusion in blocks.
-
-The wallet code still uses a default fee for low-priority transactions of
-0.1mBTC per kilobyte. During periods of heavy transaction volume, even this
-fee may not be enough to get transactions confirmed quickly; the mintxfee
-option may be used to override the default.

-  recent versions
-- Windows 64-bit build support
-- Solaris compatibility fixes
-- Check integrity of gitian input source tarballs

-- Add open URI dialog
-- Add Coin Control Features
-- Improve receive coins workflow: make the 'Receive' tab into a form to request
-  payments, and move historical address list functionality to File menu.
-- Rebrand to `Bitcoin Core`
-- Move initialization/shutdown to a thread. This prevents "Not responding"
-  messages during startup. Also show a window during shutdown.
-- Don't regenerate autostart link on every client startup

-Bitcoin Core version 0.9.1 is now available from:
-
-  https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.1/
-
-This is a security update. It is recommended to upgrade to this release
-as soon as possible.
-
-It is especially important to upgrade if you currently have version
-0.9.0 installed and are using the graphical interface OR you are using
-bitcoind from any pre-0.9.1 version, and have enabled SSL for RPC and
-have configured allowip to allow rpc connections from potentially
-hostile hosts.
-
-Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
-
-  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
-
-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
-0.9.1 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from 
-30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
-
-0.9.1 Release notes
-=======================
-
-No code changes were made between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1. Only the dependencies were changed.
-
-- Upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.1g. This release fixes the following vulnerabilities which can
-  affect the Bitcoin Core software:
-
-  - CVE-2014-0160 ("heartbleed")
-    A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension can
-    be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or server.
-
-  - CVE-2014-0076
-    The Montgomery ladder implementation in OpenSSL does not ensure that
-    certain swap operations have a constant-time behavior, which makes it
-    easier for local users to obtain ECDSA nonces via a FLUSH+RELOAD cache
-    side-channel attack.
-
-- Add statically built executables to Linux build
-
-Credits
---------
-
-Credits go to the OpenSSL team for fixing the vulnerabilities quickly.

-
-Important changes
-==================
-
-Gitian OSX build
------------------
-
-The deterministic build system that was already used for Windows and Linux
-builds is now used for OSX as well. Although the resulting executables have
-been tested quite a bit, there could be possible regressions. Be sure to report

-
-Compatibility of Linux build
------------------------------
-
-For Linux we now build against Qt 4.6, and filter the symbols for libstdc++ and glibc.
-This brings back compatibility with
-
-- Debian 6+ / Tails
-- Ubuntu 10.04
-- CentOS 6.5

-OpenSSL Warning
-================
-
-OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k was recently released and is being pushed out by
-various operating system maintainers. Review by Gregory Maxwell determined that
-this update is incompatible with the Bitcoin system and could lead to consensus
-forks.
-
-Bitcoin Core released binaries from https://bitcoin.org are unaffected,
-as are any built with the gitian deterministic build system.
-
-However, if you are running either
-
-- The Ubuntu PPA from https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin
-- A third-party or self-compiled Bitcoin Core
-
-upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.9.4, which includes a workaround, **before** updating
-OpenSSL.
-
-The incompatibility is due to the OpenSSL update changing the
-behavior of ECDSA validation to reject any signature which is
-not encoded in a very rigid manner. This was a result of
-OpenSSL's change for CVE-2014-8275 "Certificate fingerprints
-can be modified".
-
-We are specifically aware of potential hard-forks due to signature
-encoding handling and had been hoping to close them via BIP62 in 0.10.
-BIP62's purpose is to improve transaction malleability handling and
-as a side effect rigidly defines the encoding for signatures, but the
-overall scope of BIP62 has made it take longer than we'd like to
-deploy.
-
-0.9.4 changelog
-================
-
-Validation:
-- `b8e81b7` consensus: guard against openssl's new strict DER checks
-- `60c51f1` fail immediately on an empty signature
-- `037bfef` Improve robustness of DER recoding code
-
-Command-line options:
-- `cd5164a` Make -proxy set all network types, avoiding a connect leak.
-
-P2P:
-- `bb424e4` Limit the number of new addressses to accumulate
-
-RPC:
-- `0a94661` Disable SSLv3 (in favor of TLS) for the RPC client and server.
-
-Build system:
-- `f047dfa` gitian: openssl-1.0.1i.tar.gz -> openssl-1.0.1k.tar.gz
-- `5b9f78d` build: Fix OSX build when using Homebrew and qt5
-- `ffab1dd` Keep symlinks when copying into .app bundle
-- `613247f` osx: fix signing to make Gatekeeper happy (again)
-
-Miscellaneous:
-- `25b49b5` Refactor -alertnotify code
-- `2743529` doc: Add instructions for consistent Mac OS X build names

-  https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.5/
-
-This is a new minor version release, with the goal of backporting BIP66. There
-are also a few bug fixes and updated translations. Upgrading to this release is
-recommended.
-
-Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
-
-  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
-
-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).
-
-Notable changes
-================
-
-Mining and relay policy enhancements
-------------------------------------
-
-Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining
-software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use
-libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward.
-If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin
-Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status.
-If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you.
-If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect
-you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66
-achieving its 951/1001 status.

-Notable changes
-===============
-
-Signature validation using libsecp256k1
----------------------------------------
-
-ECDSA signatures inside Zcash transactions now use validation using
-[https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1](libsecp256k1) instead of OpenSSL.
-
-Depending on the platform, this means a significant speedup for raw signature
-validation speed. The advantage is largest on x86_64, where validation is over
-five times faster. In practice, this translates to a raw reindexing and new
-block validation times that are less than half of what it was before.
-
-Libsecp256k1 has undergone very extensive testing and validation upstream.
-
-A side effect of this change is that libconsensus no longer depends on OpenSSL.
-
-Changelog

-      Remove unneeded lax ECDSA signature verification.
-      Strict DER signatures are always enforced; remove the flag and code that used it.
-      Repair tests for strict DER signatures.     While we're at it, repair a similar test for CLTV, and make the repaired RPC tests run by default.
-      Make transaction test failures print the comments preceding the test JSON.
-      Fix a comment that was made stale before launch by #1016 (commit 542da61).
-      Delete test that is redundant and inapplicable to Zcash.

-Notable changes
-===============
-
-Incoming viewing keys
----------------------
-
-Support for incoming viewing keys, as described in
-[the Zcash protocol spec](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/protocol/protocol.pdf),
-has been added to the wallet.
-
-Use the `z_exportviewingkey` RPC method to obtain the incoming viewing key for a
-z-address in a node's wallet. For Sprout z-addresses, these always begin with
-"ZiVK" (or "ZiVt" for testnet z-addresses). Use `z_importviewingkey` to import
-these into another node.
-
-A node that possesses an incoming viewing key for a z-address can view all past
-transactions received by that address, as well as all future transactions sent
-to it, by using `z_listreceivedbyaddress`. They cannot spend any funds from the
-address. This is similar to the behaviour of "watch-only" t-addresses.
-
-`z_gettotalbalance` now has an additional boolean parameter for including the
-balance of "watch-only" addresses (both transparent and shielded), which is set
-to `false` by default. `z_getbalance` has also been updated to work with
-watch-only addresses.
-
-- **Caution:** for z-addresses, these balances will **not** be accurate if any
-  funds have been sent from the address. This is because incoming viewing keys
-  cannot detect spends, and so the "balance" is just the sum of all received
-  notes, including ones that have been spent. Some future use-cases for incoming
-  viewing keys will include synchronization data to keep their balances accurate
-  (e.g. [#2542](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/2542)).

-Notable changes
-===============
-
-Incoming viewing keys
----------------------
-
-Support for incoming viewing keys, as described in
-[the Zcash protocol spec](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/protocol/protocol.pdf),
-has been added to the wallet.
-
-Use the `z_exportviewingkey` RPC method to obtain the incoming viewing key for a
-z-address in a node's wallet. For Sprout z-addresses, these always begin with
-"ZiVK" (or "ZiVt" for testnet z-addresses). Use `z_importviewingkey` to import
-these into another node.
-
-A node that possesses an incoming viewing key for a z-address can view all past
-transactions received by that address, as well as all future transactions sent
-to it, by using `z_listreceivedbyaddress`. They cannot spend any funds from the
-address. This is similar to the behaviour of "watch-only" t-addresses.
-
-`z_gettotalbalance` now has an additional boolean parameter for including the
-balance of "watch-only" addresses (both transparent and shielded), which is set
-to `false` by default. `z_getbalance` has also been updated to work with
-watch-only addresses.
-
-- **Caution:** for z-addresses, these balances will **not** be accurate if any
-  funds have been sent from the address. This is because incoming viewing keys
-  cannot detect spends, and so the "balance" is just the sum of all received
-  notes, including ones that have been spent. Some future use-cases for incoming
-  viewing keys will include synchronization data to keep their balances accurate
-  (e.g. [#2542](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/2542)).

-Notable changes
-===============
-
-UTXO and note merging
----------------------
-
-In order to simplify the process of combining many small UTXOs and notes into a
-few larger ones, a new RPC method `z_mergetoaddress` has been added. It merges
-funds from t-addresses, z-addresses, or both, and sends them to a single
-t-address or z-address.
-
-Unlike most other RPC methods, `z_mergetoaddress` operates over a particular
-quantity of UTXOs and notes, instead of a particular amount of ZEC. By default,
-it will merge 50 UTXOs and 10 notes at a time; these limits can be adjusted with
-the parameters `transparent_limit` and `shielded_limit`.
-
-`z_mergetoaddress` also returns the number of UTXOs and notes remaining in the
-given addresses, which can be used to automate the merging process (for example,
-merging until the number of UTXOs falls below some value).
-
-UTXO memory accounting
-----------------------
-
-The default -dbcache has been changed in this release to 450MiB. Users can set -dbcache to a higher value (e.g. to keep the UTXO set more fully cached in memory). Users on low-memory systems (such as systems with 1GB or less) should consider specifying a lower value for this parameter.
-
-Additional information relating to running on low-memory systems can be found here: [reducing-memory-usage.md](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/master/doc/reducing-memory-usage.md).

-Overwinter network upgrade
---------------------------
-
-The code preparations for the Overwinter network upgrade, as described in [ZIP
-200](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/zip-0200.rst), [ZIP
-201](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/zip-0201.rst), [ZIP
-202](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/zip-0202.rst), [ZIP
-203](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/zip-0203.rst), and [ZIP
-143](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/zip-0143.rst) are
-finished and included in this release. Overwinter will activate on testnet at
-height 207500, and can also be activated at a specific height in regtest mode
-by setting the config option `-nuparams=5ba81b19:HEIGHT`.
-
-However, because the Overwinter activation height is not yet specified for
-mainnet, version 1.0.15 will behave similarly as other pre-Overwinter releases
-even after a future activation of Overwinter on the network. Upgrading from
-1.0.15 will be required in order to follow the Overwinter network upgrade on
-mainnet.
-
-Overwinter transaction format
------------------------------
-
-Once Overwinter has activated, transactions must use the new v3 format
-(including coinbase transactions). All RPC methods that create new transactions
-(such as `createrawtransaction` and `getblocktemplate`) will create v3
-transactions once the Overwinter activation height has been reached.
-
-Overwinter transaction expiry
------------------------------
-
-Overwinter transactions created by `zcashd` will also have a default expiry
-height set (the block height after which the transaction becomes invalid) of 20
-blocks after the height of the next block. This can be configured with the
-config option `-txexpirydelta`.
-
-UTXO and note merging
----------------------
-
-In order to simplify the process of combining many small UTXOs and notes into a
-few larger ones, a new RPC method `z_mergetoaddress` has been added. It merges
-funds from t-addresses, z-addresses, or both, and sends them to a single
-t-address or z-address.
-
-Unlike most other RPC methods, `z_mergetoaddress` operates over a particular
-quantity of UTXOs and notes, instead of a particular amount of ZEC. By default,
-it will merge 50 UTXOs and 10 notes at a time; these limits can be adjusted with
-the parameters `transparent_limit` and `shielded_limit`.
-
-`z_mergetoaddress` also returns the number of UTXOs and notes remaining in the
-given addresses, which can be used to automate the merging process (for example,
-merging until the number of UTXOs falls below some value).

-Notable changes
-===============
-
-`-mempooltxinputlimit` deprecation
-----------------------------------
-
-The configuration option `-mempooltxinputlimit` was added in release 1.0.10 as a
-short-term fix for the quadratic hashing problem inherited from Bitcoin. At the
-time, transactions with many inputs were causing performance issues for miners.
-Since then, several performance improvements have been merged from the Bitcoin
-Core codebase that significantly reduce these issues.
-
-The Overwinter network upgrade includes changes that solve the quadratic hashing
-problem, and so `-mempooltxinputlimit` will no longer be needed - a transaction
-with 1000 inputs will take just as long to validate as 10 transactions with 100
-inputs each. Starting from this release, `-mempooltxinputlimit` will be enforced
-before the Overwinter activation height is reached, but will be ignored once
-Overwinter activates. The option will be removed entirely in a future release
-after Overwinter has activated.
-
-`NODE_BLOOM` service bit
-------------------------
-
-Support for the `NODE_BLOOM` service bit, as described in [BIP
-111](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0111.mediawiki), has been
-added to the P2P protocol code.
-
-BIP 111 defines a service bit to allow peers to advertise that they support
-Bloom filters (such as used by SPV clients) explicitly. It also bumps the protocol
-version to allow peers to identify old nodes which allow Bloom filtering of the
-connection despite lacking the new service bit.
-
-In this version, it is only enforced for peers that send protocol versions
-`>=170004`. For the next major version it is planned that this restriction will be
-removed. It is recommended to update SPV clients to check for the `NODE_BLOOM`
-service bit for nodes that report version 170004 or newer.

-Notable changes
-===============
-
-Overwinter network upgrade
---------------------------
-
-The activation height for the Overwinter network upgrade on mainnet is included
-in this release. Overwinter will activate on mainnet at height 347500, which is
-expected to be mined on the 25th of June 2018. Please upgrade to this release,
-or any subsequent release, in order to follow the Overwinter network upgrade.
-
-`-mempooltxinputlimit` deprecation
-----------------------------------
-
-The configuration option `-mempooltxinputlimit` was added in release 1.0.10 as a
-short-term fix for the quadratic hashing problem inherited from Bitcoin. At the
-time, transactions with many inputs were causing performance issues for miners.
-Since then, several performance improvements have been merged from the Bitcoin
-Core codebase that significantly reduce these issues.
-
-The Overwinter network upgrade includes changes that solve the quadratic hashing
-problem, and so `-mempooltxinputlimit` will no longer be needed - a transaction
-with 1000 inputs will take just as long to validate as 10 transactions with 100
-inputs each. Starting from this release, `-mempooltxinputlimit` will be enforced
-before the Overwinter activation height is reached, but will be ignored once
-Overwinter activates. The option will be removed entirely in a future release
-after Overwinter has activated.
-
-`NODE_BLOOM` service bit
-------------------------
-
-Support for the `NODE_BLOOM` service bit, as described in [BIP
-111](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0111.mediawiki), has been
-added to the P2P protocol code.
-
-BIP 111 defines a service bit to allow peers to advertise that they support
-Bloom filters (such as used by SPV clients) explicitly. It also bumps the protocol
-version to allow peers to identify old nodes which allow Bloom filtering of the
-connection despite lacking the new service bit.
-
-In this version, it is only enforced for peers that send protocol versions
-`>=170004`. For the next major version it is planned that this restriction will be
-removed. It is recommended to update SPV clients to check for the `NODE_BLOOM`
-service bit for nodes that report version 170004 or newer.

-Notable changes
-===============
-
-zcash-cli: arguments privacy
-----------------------------
-
-The RPC command line client gained a new argument, `-stdin`
-to read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl-D.
-For example:
-
-    $ src/zcash-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
-    mysecretcode
-    120
-    ^D (Ctrl-D)
-
-It is recommended to use this for sensitive information such as private keys, as
-command-line arguments can usually be read from the process table by any user on
-the system.
-
-Asm representations of scriptSig signatures now contain SIGHASH type decodes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The `asm` property of each scriptSig now contains the decoded signature hash
-type for each signature that provides a valid defined hash type.
-
-The following items contain assembly representations of scriptSig signatures
-and are affected by this change:
-
-- RPC `getrawtransaction`
-- RPC `decoderawtransaction`
-- REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format)
-- REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details)
-- `zcash-tx -json`
-
-For example, the `scriptSig.asm` property of a transaction input that
-previously showed an assembly representation of:
-
-    304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c509001
-
-now shows as:
-
-    304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c5090[ALL]
-
-Note that the output of the RPC `decodescript` did not change because it is
-configured specifically to process scriptPubKey and not scriptSig scripts.

-
-Asm representations of scriptSig signatures now contain SIGHASH type decodes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The `asm` property of each scriptSig now contains the decoded signature hash
-type for each signature that provides a valid defined hash type.
-
-The following items contain assembly representations of scriptSig signatures
-and are affected by this change:
-
-- RPC `getrawtransaction`
-- RPC `decoderawtransaction`
-- REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format)
-- REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details)
-- `zcash-tx -json`
-
-For example, the `scriptSig.asm` property of a transaction input that
-previously showed an assembly representation of:
-
-    304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c509001
-
-now shows as:
-
-    304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c5090[ALL]
-
-Note that the output of the RPC `decodescript` did not change because it is
-configured specifically to process scriptPubKey and not scriptSig scripts.

-Notable changes
-===============
-
-Sapling network upgrade
------------------------
-
-The consensus code preparations for the Sapling network upgrade, as described
-in [ZIP 243](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/zip-0243.rst) and the
-[Sapling spec](https://github.com/zcash/zips/blob/master/protocol/sapling.pdf)
-are finished and included in this release. Sapling support in the wallet and
-RPC is ongoing, and is expected to land in master over the next few weeks.
-
-The [Sapling MPC](https://blog.z.cash/announcing-the-sapling-mpc/) is currently
-working on producing the final Sapling parameters. In the meantime, Sapling will
-activate on testnet with dummy Sapling parameters at height 252500. This
-activation will be temporary, and the testnet will be rolled back by version
-2.0.0 so that both mainnet and testnet will be using the same parameters.
-Users who want to continue testing Overwinter should continue to run version
-1.1.0 on testnet, and then upgrade to 2.0.0 (which will be released after
-Overwinter activates).
-
-Sapling can also be activated at a specific height in regtest mode by
-setting the config options `-nuparams=5ba81b19:HEIGHT -nuparams=76b809bb:HEIGHT`.
-These config options will change when the testnet is rolled back for 2.0.0
-(because the branch ID for Sapling will change, due to us following the safe
-upgrade conventions we introduced in Overwinter).
-
-Users running testnet or regtest nodes will need to run
-`./zcutil/fetch-params.sh --testnet` (for users building from source) or
-`zcash-fetch-params --testnet` (for binary / Debian users).
-
-As a reminder, because the Sapling activation height is not yet specified for
-mainnet, version 1.1.1 will behave similarly as other pre-Sapling releases even
-after a future activation of Sapling on the network. Upgrading from 1.1.1 will
-be required in order to follow the Sapling network upgrade on mainnet.
-
-Sapling transaction format
---------------------------
-
-Once Sapling has activated, transactions must use the new v4 format (including
-coinbase transactions). All RPC methods that create new transactions (such as
-`createrawtransaction` and `getblocktemplate`) will create v4 transactions once
-the Sapling activation height has been reached.
-
-zcash-cli: arguments privacy
-----------------------------
-
-The RPC command line client gained a new argument, `-stdin`
-to read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl-D.
-For example:
-
-    $ src/zcash-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
-    mysecretcode
-    120
-    ^D (Ctrl-D)
-
-It is recommended to use this for sensitive information such as private keys, as
-command-line arguments can usually be read from the process table by any user on
-the system.
-
-Asm representations of scriptSig signatures now contain SIGHASH type decodes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The `asm` property of each scriptSig now contains the decoded signature hash
-type for each signature that provides a valid defined hash type.
-
-The following items contain assembly representations of scriptSig signatures
-and are affected by this change:
-
-- RPC `getrawtransaction`
-- RPC `decoderawtransaction`
-- REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format)
-- REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details)
-- `zcash-tx -json`
-
-For example, the `scriptSig.asm` property of a transaction input that
-previously showed an assembly representation of:
-
-    304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c509001
-
-now shows as:
-
-    304502207fa7a6d1e0ee81132a269ad84e68d695483745cde8b541e3bf630749894e342a022100c1f7ab20e13e22fb95281a870f3dcf38d782e53023ee313d741ad0cfbc0c5090[ALL]
-
-Note that the output of the RPC `decodescript` did not change because it is
-configured specifically to process scriptPubKey and not scriptSig scripts.

-`-disabledeprecation` removal
------------------------------
-
-In release 1.0.9 we implemented automatic deprecation of `zcashd` software
-versions made by the Zcash Company. The configuration option
-`-disabledeprecation` was added as a way for users to specifically choose to
-stay on a particular software version. However, it incorrectly implied that
-deprecated releases would still be supported.
-
-This release removes the `-disabledeprecation` option, so that `zcashd` software
-versions made by the Zcash Company will always shut down in accordance with the
-defined deprecation policy (currently 16 weeks after release). Users who wish to
-use a different policy must now specifically choose to either:
-
-- edit and compile the source code themselves, or
-- obtain a software version from someone else who has done so (and obtain
-  support from them).
-
-Either way, it is much clearer that the software they are running is not
-supported by the Zcash Company.

-Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation for Sapling
------------------------------------------------------
-All Sapling addresses will use hierarchical deterministic key generation
-according to ZIP 32 (keypath m/32'/133'/k' on mainnet). Transparent and
-Sprout addresses 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 Sapling private keys, even the
-ones which haven't already been generated during the time of the backup.
-Regular backups are still necessary, however, in order to ensure that
-transparent and Sprout addresses are not lost.

-Notable changes
-===============
-
-Enabled Sapling features for mainnet
-------------------------------------
-This release adds significant support for Sapling to the wallet and RPC interface. Sapling will activate at block 419200, which is expected to be mined on the 28th of October 2018. Users running v2.0.0 nodes (which are consensus-compatible with Sapling) will follow the network upgrade, but must upgrade to v2.0.1 in order to send or receive Sapling shielded transactions.
-
-Minimum Difficulty Blocks allowed on testnet
---------------------------------------------
-Sapling activated on testnet at block 280000. Users running v2.0.0 nodes should upgrade to v2.0.1 which introduces a consensus rule change to allow minimum difficulty blocks to be mined from block 299188, thereby splitting the chain.  In addition, users running v2.0.1 nodes no longer need to specify `-experimentalfeatures` and `-developersapling` to use Sapling functionality on testnet.

-All Sapling addresses will use hierarchical deterministic key generation
-according to ZIP 32 (keypath m/32'/133'/k' on mainnet). Transparent and
-Sprout addresses will still use traditional key generation.

-Fix Signing Raw Transactions with Unsynced Offline Nodes
---------------------------------------------------------
-With v2.0.0, in `signrawtransaction` the consensus branch ID (which is used to construct the transaction) was estimated using the chain height. With v2.0.1 this has been improved by also considering the `APPROX_RELEASE_HEIGHT` of the release, and a new parameter to allow the caller to manually override the consensus branch ID that zcashd will use.
