This release includes the following features and fixes: | This release includes the following features and fixes: | ||||
- When running bitcoind without `-daemon`, logging to stdout is now the | |||||
default behavior. Setting `-printtoconsole=1` no longer implicitly disables | |||||
logging to debug.log. Instead, logging to file can be explicitly disabled by | |||||
setting `-debuglogfile=0`. | |||||
- `getlabeladdress` has been removed and replaced with `getaccountaddress` | |||||
until v0.21 at which time `getaccountaddress` will also be removed. To | |||||
use `getaccountaddress` start `bitcoind` with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` | |||||
option. See the v0.20.6 release notes for more details. | |||||
Network | |||||
------- | |||||
- 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. | |||||
Seeder | |||||
------ | |||||
- `bitcoin-seeder` no longer takes single letter parameter names. Please use | |||||
the full length parameter names. See `bitcoin-seeder -?` for more | |||||
information. | |||||
- If the `-?`, `-h`, or `-help` options are used, `bitcoin-seeder` will now | |||||
output its help message and then cease operation. | |||||
- `bitcoin-seeder` can now be run on `regtest` using `-regtest`. See | |||||
`bitcoin-seeder -? --help-debug` for more information about the `-regtest` | |||||
option. | |||||
- If options are given to `bitcoin-seeder` that are not recognizable it will | |||||
output an error and then cease operation. |
