- When fetching a transaction announced by multiple peers, previous versions of | |||||
Bitcoin ABC would sequentially attempt to download the transaction from each | |||||
announcing peer until the transaction is received, in the order that those | |||||
peers' announcements were received. In this release, the download logic has | |||||
changed to randomize the fetch order across peers and to prefer sending | |||||
download requests to outbound peers over inbound peers. This fixes an issue | |||||
where inbound peers can prevent a node from getting a transaction. |
