This release includes the following features and fixes: | This release includes the following features and fixes: | ||||
- The autotools build system (`autogen`, `configure`, ...) is deprecated and | |||||
will be removed in a future release. Cmake is the replacement build system, | |||||
look at the documentation for the build instructions. To continue using the | |||||
autotools build system, pass the --enable-deprecated-build-system flag to | |||||
`configure`. | |||||
- The rpcallowip option can no longer be used to automatically listen | |||||
on all network interfaces. Instead, the rpcbind parameter must also | |||||
be used to specify the IP addresses to listen on. Listening for RPC | |||||
commands over a public network connection is insecure and should be | |||||
disabled, so a warning is now printed if a user selects such a | |||||
configuration. If you need to expose RPC in order to use a tool | |||||
like Docker, ensure you only bind RPC to your localhost, e.g. docker run [...] -p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332 (this is an extra :8332 over the | |||||
normal Docker port specification). | |||||
- The `getmininginfo` RPC now omits `currentblocksize` and `currentblocktx` | |||||
when a block was never assembled via RPC on this node. | |||||
- Manpages added for the bitcoin-wallet tool. | |||||
- Fixed a bug where an already-banned peer later whitelisted with `noban` would still be treated as banned. | |||||
- Improved performance of JSON RPC calls by ~4%. |
