1Bitcoin Core version 0.18.0 is now available from: 2 3 <https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.18.0/> 4 5This is a new major version release, including new features, various bug 6fixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations. 7 8Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub: 9 10 <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues> 11 12To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to: 13 14 <https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/> 15 16How to Upgrade 17============== 18 19If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has 20completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older 21versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over 22`/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac) or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on 23Linux). 24 25The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database 26will be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few 27minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine. 28 29Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and 30there is no automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 310.15.0 or later. Upgrading directly from 0.7.x and earlier without 32redownloading the blockchain is not supported. However, as usual, old 33wallet versions are still supported. 34 35Compatibility 36============== 37 38Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems 39using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not 40recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems. 41 42Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not 43as frequently tested on them. 44 45From 0.17.0 onwards, macOS <10.10 is no longer supported. 0.17.0 is 46built using Qt 5.9.x, which doesn't support versions of macOS older than 4710.10. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance when 48macOS "dark mode" is activated. 49 50In addition to previously-supported CPU platforms, this release's 51pre-compiled distribution also provides binaries for the RISC-V 52platform. 53 54If you are using the `systemd` unit configuration file located at 55`contrib/init/bitcoind.service`, it has been changed to use 56`/var/lib/bitcoind` as the data directory instead of 57`~bitcoin/.bitcoin`. When switching over to the new configuration file, 58please make sure that the filesystem on which `/var/lib/bitcoind` will 59exist has enough space (check using `df -h /var/lib/bitcoind`), and 60optionally copy over your existing data directory. See the [systemd init 61file section](#systemd-init-file) for more details. 62 63Known issues 64============ 65 66Wallet GUI 67---------- 68 69For advanced users who have both (1) enabled coin control features, and 70(2) are using multiple wallets loaded at the same time: The coin control 71input selection dialog can erroneously retain wrong-wallet state when 72switching wallets using the dropdown menu. For now, it is recommended 73not to use coin control features with multiple wallets loaded. 74 75Notable changes 76=============== 77 78Mining 79------ 80 81- Calls to `getblocktemplate` will fail if the segwit rule is not 82 specified. Calling `getblocktemplate` without segwit specified is 83 almost certainly a misconfiguration since doing so results in lower 84 rewards for the miner. Failed calls will produce an error message 85 describing how to enable the segwit rule. 86 87Configuration option changes 88---------------------------- 89 90- A warning is printed if an unrecognized section name is used in the 91 configuration file. Recognized sections are `[test]`, `[main]`, and 92 `[regtest]`. 93 94- Four new options are available for configuring the maximum number of 95 messages that ZMQ will queue in memory (the "high water mark") before 96 dropping additional messages. The default value is 1,000, the same as 97 was used for previous releases. See the [ZMQ 98 documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/zmq.md#usage) 99 for details. 100 101- The `rpcallowip` option can no longer be used to automatically listen 102 on all network interfaces. Instead, the `rpcbind` parameter must be 103 used to specify the IP addresses to listen on. Listening for RPC 104 commands over a public network connection is insecure and should be 105 disabled, so a warning is now printed if a user selects such a 106 configuration. If you need to expose RPC in order to use a tool like 107 Docker, ensure you only bind RPC to your localhost, e.g. `docker run 108 [...] -p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332` (this is an extra `:8332` over the 109 normal Docker port specification). 110 111- The `rpcpassword` option now causes a startup error if the password 112 set in the configuration file contains a hash character (#), as it's 113 ambiguous whether the hash character is meant for the password or as a 114 comment. 115 116- The `whitelistforcerelay` option is used to relay transactions from 117 whitelisted peers even when not accepted to the mempool. This option 118 now defaults to being off, so that changes in policy and 119 disconnect/ban behavior will not cause a node that is whitelisting 120 another to be dropped by peers. Users can still explicitly enable 121 this behavior with the command line option (and may want to consider 122 [contacting](https://bitcoincore.org/en/contact/) the Bitcoin Core 123 project to let us know about their use-case, as this feature could be 124 deprecated in the future). 125 126systemd init file 127----------------- 128 129The systemd init file (`contrib/init/bitcoind.service`) has been changed 130to use `/var/lib/bitcoind` as the data directory instead of 131`~bitcoin/.bitcoin`. This change makes Bitcoin Core more consistent with 132other services, and makes the systemd init config more consistent with 133existing Upstart and OpenRC configs. 134 135The configuration, PID, and data directories are now completely managed 136by systemd, which will take care of their creation, permissions, etc. 137See [`systemd.exec(5)`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#RuntimeDirectory=) 138for more details. 139 140When using the provided init files under `contrib/init`, overriding the 141`datadir` option in `/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf` will have no effect. 142This is because the command line arguments specified in the init files 143take precedence over the options specified in 144`/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`. 145 146 147Documentation 148------------- 149 150- A new short [document](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md) 151 about the JSON-RPC interface describes cases where the results of an 152 RPC might contain inconsistencies between data sourced from different 153 subsystems, such as wallet state and mempool state. A note is added 154 to the [REST interface documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/REST-interface.md) 155 indicating that the same rules apply. 156 157- Further information is added to the [JSON-RPC 158 documentation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md) 159 about how to secure this interface. 160 161- A new [document](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/bitcoin-conf.md) 162 about the `bitcoin.conf` file describes how to use it to configure 163 Bitcoin Core. 164 165- A new document introduces Bitcoin Core's BIP174 [Partially-Signed 166 Bitcoin Transactions 167 (PSBT)](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/psbt.md) 168 interface, which is used to allow multiple programs to collaboratively 169 work to create, sign, and broadcast new transactions. This is useful 170 for offline (cold storage) wallets, multisig wallets, coinjoin 171 implementations, and many other cases where two or more programs need 172 to interact to generate a complete transaction. 173 174- The [output script 175 descriptor](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md) 176 documentation has been updated with information about new features in 177 this still-developing language for describing the output scripts that 178 a wallet or other program wants to receive notifications for, such as 179 which addresses it wants to know received payments. The language is 180 currently used in multiple new and updated RPCs described in these 181 release notes and is expected to be adapted to other RPCs and to the 182 underlying wallet structure. 183 184Build system changes 185-------------------- 186 187- A new `--disable-bip70` option may be passed to `./configure` to 188 prevent Bitcoin-Qt from being built with support for the BIP70 payment 189 protocol or from linking libssl. As the payment protocol has exposed 190 Bitcoin Core to libssl vulnerabilities in the past, builders who don't 191 need BIP70 support are encouraged to use this option to reduce their 192 exposure to future vulnerabilities. 193 194- The minimum required version of Qt (when building the GUI) has been 195 increased from 5.2 to 5.5.1 (the [depends 196 system](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/depends/README.md) 197 provides 5.9.7) 198 199New RPCs 200-------- 201 202- `getnodeaddresses` returns peer addresses known to this node. It may 203 be used to find nodes to connect to without using a DNS seeder. 204 205- `listwalletdir` returns a list of wallets in the wallet directory 206 (either the default wallet directory or the directory configured by 207 the `-walletdir` parameter). 208 209- `getrpcinfo` returns runtime details of the RPC server. At the moment, 210 it returns an array of the currently active commands and how long 211 they've been running. 212 213- `deriveaddresses` returns one or more addresses corresponding to an 214 [output descriptor](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md). 215 216- `getdescriptorinfo` accepts a descriptor and returns information about 217 it, including its computed checksum. 218 219- `joinpsbts` merges multiple distinct PSBTs into a single PSBT. The 220 multiple PSBTs must have different inputs. The resulting PSBT will 221 contain every input and output from all of the PSBTs. Any signatures 222 provided in any of the PSBTs will be dropped. 223 224- `analyzepsbt` examines a PSBT and provides information about what 225 the PSBT contains and the next steps that need to be taken in order 226 to complete the transaction. For each input of a PSBT, `analyzepsbt` 227 provides information about what information is missing for that 228 input, including whether a UTXO needs to be provided, what pubkeys 229 still need to be provided, which scripts need to be provided, and 230 what signatures are still needed. Every input will also list which 231 role is needed to complete that input, and `analyzepsbt` will also 232 list the next role in general needed to complete the PSBT. 233 `analyzepsbt` will also provide the estimated fee rate and estimated 234 virtual size of the completed transaction if it has enough 235 information to do so. 236 237- `utxoupdatepsbt` searches the set of Unspent Transaction Outputs 238 (UTXOs) to find the outputs being spent by the partial transaction. 239 PSBTs need to have the UTXOs being spent to be provided because 240 the signing algorithm requires information from the UTXO being spent. 241 For segwit inputs, only the UTXO itself is necessary. For 242 non-segwit outputs, the entire previous transaction is needed so 243 that signers can be sure that they are signing the correct thing. 244 Unfortunately, because the UTXO set only contains UTXOs and not full 245 transactions, `utxoupdatepsbt` will only add the UTXO for segwit 246 inputs. 247 248Updated RPCs 249------------ 250 251Note: some low-level RPC changes mainly useful for testing are described 252in the Low-level Changes section below. 253 254- `getpeerinfo` now returns an additional `minfeefilter` field set to 255 the peer's BIP133 fee filter. You can use this to detect that you 256 have peers that are willing to accept transactions below the default 257 minimum relay fee. 258 259- The mempool RPCs, such as `getrawmempool` with `verbose=true`, now 260 return an additional "bip125-replaceable" value indicating whether the 261 transaction (or its unconfirmed ancestors) opts-in to asking nodes and 262 miners to replace it with a higher-feerate transaction spending any of 263 the same inputs. 264 265- `settxfee` previously silently ignored attempts to set the fee below 266 the allowed minimums. It now prints a warning. The special value of 267 "0" may still be used to request the minimum value. 268 269- `getaddressinfo` now provides an `ischange` field indicating whether 270 the wallet used the address in a change output. 271 272- `importmulti` has been updated to support P2WSH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH, 273 and P2SH-P2WSH. Requests for P2WSH and P2SH-P2WSH accept an additional 274 `witnessscript` parameter. 275 276- `importmulti` now returns an additional `warnings` field for each 277 request with an array of strings explaining when fields are being 278 ignored or are inconsistent, if there are any. 279 280- `getaddressinfo` now returns an additional `solvable` boolean field 281 when Bitcoin Core knows enough about the address's scriptPubKey, 282 optional redeemScript, and optional witnessScript in order for the 283 wallet to be able to generate an unsigned input spending funds sent to 284 that address. 285 286- The `getaddressinfo`, `listunspent`, and `scantxoutset` RPCs now 287 return an additional `desc` field that contains an output descriptor 288 containing all key paths and signing information for the address 289 (except for the private key). The `desc` field is only returned for 290 `getaddressinfo` and `listunspent` when the address is solvable. 291 292- `importprivkey` will preserve previously-set labels for addresses or 293 public keys corresponding to the private key being imported. For 294 example, if you imported a watch-only address with the label "cold 295 wallet" in earlier releases of Bitcoin Core, subsequently importing 296 the private key would default to resetting the address's label to the 297 default empty-string label (""). In this release, the previous label 298 of "cold wallet" will be retained. If you optionally specify any 299 label besides the default when calling `importprivkey`, the new label 300 will be applied to the address. 301 302- See the [Mining](#mining) section for changes to `getblocktemplate`. 303 304- `getmininginfo` now omits `currentblockweight` and `currentblocktx` 305 when a block was never assembled via RPC on this node. 306 307- The `getrawtransaction` RPC & REST endpoints no longer check the 308 unspent UTXO set for a transaction. The remaining behaviors are as 309 follows: 1. If a blockhash is provided, check the corresponding block. 310 2. If no blockhash is provided, check the mempool. 3. If no blockhash 311 is provided but txindex is enabled, also check txindex. 312 313- `unloadwallet` is now synchronous, meaning it will not return until 314 the wallet is fully unloaded. 315 316- `importmulti` now supports importing of addresses from descriptors. A 317 "desc" parameter can be provided instead of the "scriptPubKey" in a 318 request, as well as an optional range for ranged descriptors to 319 specify the start and end of the range to import. Descriptors with key 320 origin information imported through `importmulti` will have their key 321 origin information stored in the wallet for use with creating PSBTs. 322 More information about descriptors can be found 323 [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md). 324 325- `listunspent` has been modified so that it also returns 326 `witnessScript`, the witness script in the case of a P2WSH or 327 P2SH-P2WSH output. 328 329- `createwallet` now has an optional `blank` argument that can be used 330 to create a blank wallet. Blank wallets do not have any keys or HD 331 seed. They cannot be opened in software older than 0.18. Once a blank 332 wallet has a HD seed set (by using `sethdseed`) or private keys, 333 scripts, addresses, and other watch only things have been imported, 334 the wallet is no longer blank and can be opened in 0.17.x. Encrypting 335 a blank wallet will also set a HD seed for it. 336 337Deprecated or removed RPCs 338-------------------------- 339 340- `signrawtransaction` is removed after being deprecated and hidden 341 behind a special configuration option in version 0.17.0. 342 343- The 'account' API is removed after being deprecated in v0.17. The 344 'label' API was introduced in v0.17 as a replacement for accounts. 345 See the [release notes from 346 v0.17](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.17.0.md#label-and-account-apis-for-wallet) 347 for a full description of the changes from the 'account' API to the 348 'label' API. 349 350- `addwitnessaddress` is removed after being deprecated in version 351 0.16.0. 352 353- `generate` is deprecated and will be fully removed in a subsequent 354 major version. This RPC is only used for testing, but its 355 implementation reached across multiple subsystems (wallet and mining), 356 so it is being deprecated to simplify the wallet-node interface. 357 Projects that are using `generate` for testing purposes should 358 transition to using the `generatetoaddress` RPC, which does not 359 require or use the wallet component. Calling `generatetoaddress` with 360 an address returned by the `getnewaddress` RPC gives the same 361 functionality as the old `generate` RPC. To continue using `generate` 362 in this version, restart bitcoind with the `-deprecatedrpc=generate` 363 configuration option. 364 365- Be reminded that parts of the `validateaddress` command have been 366 deprecated and moved to `getaddressinfo`. The following deprecated 367 fields have moved to `getaddressinfo`: `ismine`, `iswatchonly`, 368 `script`, `hex`, `pubkeys`, `sigsrequired`, `pubkey`, `embedded`, 369 `iscompressed`, `label`, `timestamp`, `hdkeypath`, `hdmasterkeyid`. 370 371- The `addresses` field has been removed from the `validateaddress` 372 and `getaddressinfo` RPC methods. This field was confusing since 373 it referred to public keys using their P2PKH address. Clients 374 should use the `embedded.address` field for P2SH or P2WSH wrapped 375 addresses, and `pubkeys` for inspecting multisig participants. 376 377REST changes 378------------ 379 380- A new `/rest/blockhashbyheight/` endpoint is added for fetching the 381 hash of the block in the current best blockchain based on its height 382 (how many blocks it is after the Genesis Block). 383 384Graphical User Interface (GUI) 385------------------------------ 386 387- A new Window menu is added alongside the existing File, Settings, and 388 Help menus. Several items from the other menus that opened new 389 windows have been moved to this new Window menu. 390 391- In the Send tab, the checkbox for "pay only the required fee" has been 392 removed. Instead, the user can simply decrease the value in the 393 Custom Feerate field all the way down to the node's configured minimum 394 relay fee. 395 396- In the Overview tab, the watch-only balance will be the only balance 397 shown if the wallet was created using the `createwallet` RPC and the 398 `disable_private_keys` parameter was set to true. 399 400- The launch-on-startup option is no longer available on macOS if 401 compiled with macosx min version greater than 10.11 (use 402 CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" 403 CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" for setting the deployment sdk 404 version) 405 406Tools 407----- 408 409- A new `bitcoin-wallet` tool is now distributed alongside Bitcoin 410 Core's other executables. Without needing to use any RPCs, this tool 411 can currently create a new wallet file or display some basic 412 information about an existing wallet, such as whether the wallet is 413 encrypted, whether it uses an HD seed, how many transactions it 414 contains, and how many address book entries it has. 415 416Planned changes 417=============== 418 419This section describes planned changes to Bitcoin Core that may affect 420other Bitcoin software and services. 421 422- Since version 0.16.0, Bitcoin Core’s built-in wallet has defaulted to 423 generating P2SH-wrapped segwit addresses when users want to receive 424 payments. These addresses are backwards compatible with all 425 widely-used software. Starting with Bitcoin Core 0.20 (expected about 426 a year after 0.18), Bitcoin Core will default to native segwit 427 addresses (bech32) that provide additional fee savings and other 428 benefits. Currently, many wallets and services already support sending 429 to bech32 addresses, and if the Bitcoin Core project sees enough 430 additional adoption, it will instead default to bech32 receiving 431 addresses in Bitcoin Core 0.19 (approximately November 2019). 432 P2SH-wrapped segwit addresses will continue to be provided if the user 433 requests them in the GUI or by RPC, and anyone who doesn’t want the 434 update will be able to configure their default address type. 435 (Similarly, pioneering users who want to change their default now may 436 set the `addresstype=bech32` configuration option in any Bitcoin Core 437 release from 0.16.0 up.) 438 439Deprecated P2P messages 440----------------------- 441 442- BIP 61 reject messages are now deprecated. Reject messages have no use 443 case on the P2P network and are only logged for debugging by most 444 network nodes. Furthermore, they increase bandwidth and can be harmful 445 for privacy and security. It has been possible to disable BIP 61 446 messages since v0.17 with the `-enablebip61=0` option. BIP 61 messages 447 will be disabled by default in a future version, before being removed 448 entirely. 449 450Low-level changes 451================= 452 453This section describes RPC changes mainly useful for testing, mostly not 454relevant in production. The changes are mentioned for completeness. 455 456RPC 457--- 458 459- The `submitblock` RPC previously returned the reason a rejected block 460 was invalid the first time it processed that block, but returned a 461 generic "duplicate" rejection message on subsequent occasions it 462 processed the same block. It now always returns the fundamental 463 reason for rejecting an invalid block and only returns "duplicate" for 464 valid blocks it has already accepted. 465 466- A new `submitheader` RPC allows submitting block headers independently 467 from their block. This is likely only useful for testing. 468 469- The `signrawtransactionwithkey` and `signrawtransactionwithwallet` 470 RPCs have been modified so that they also optionally accept a 471 `witnessScript`, the witness script in the case of a P2WSH or 472 P2SH-P2WSH output. This is compatible with the change to 473 `listunspent`. 474 475- For the `walletprocesspsbt` and `walletcreatefundedpsbt` RPCs, if the 476 `bip32derivs` parameter is set to true but the key metadata for a 477 public key has not been updated yet, then that key will have a 478 derivation path as if it were just an independent key (i.e. no 479 derivation path and its master fingerprint is itself). 480 481Configuration 482------------- 483 484- The `-usehd` configuration option was removed in version 0.16. From 485 that version onwards, all new wallets created are hierarchical 486 deterministic wallets. This release makes specifying `-usehd` an 487 invalid configuration option. 488 489Network 490------- 491 492- This release allows peers that your node automatically disconnected 493 for misbehavior (e.g. sending invalid data) to reconnect to your node 494 if you have unused incoming connection slots. If your slots fill up, 495 a misbehaving node will be disconnected to make room for nodes without 496 a history of problems (unless the misbehaving node helps your node in 497 some other way, such as by connecting to a part of the Internet from 498 which you don't have many other peers). Previously, Bitcoin Core 499 banned the IP addresses of misbehaving peers for a period of time 500 (default of 1 day); this was easily circumvented by attackers with 501 multiple IP addresses. If you manually ban a peer, such as by using 502 the `setban` RPC, all connections from that peer will still be 503 rejected. 504 505Wallet 506------- 507 508- The key metadata will need to be upgraded the first time that the HD 509 seed is available. For unencrypted wallets this will occur on wallet 510 loading. For encrypted wallets this will occur the first time the 511 wallet is unlocked. 512 513- Newly encrypted wallets will no longer require restarting the 514 software. Instead such wallets will be completely unloaded and 515 reloaded to achieve the same effect. 516 517- A sub-project of Bitcoin Core now provides Hardware Wallet Interaction 518 (HWI) scripts that allow command-line users to use several popular 519 hardware key management devices with Bitcoin Core. See their [project 520 page](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI#readme) for details. 521 522Security 523-------- 524 525- This release changes the Random Number Generator (RNG) used from 526 OpenSSL to Bitcoin Core's own implementation, although entropy 527 gathered by Bitcoin Core is fed out to OpenSSL and then read back in 528 when the program needs strong randomness. This moves Bitcoin Core a 529 little closer to no longer needing to depend on OpenSSL, a dependency 530 that has caused security issues in the past. The new implementation 531 gathers entropy from multiple sources, including from hardware 532 supporting the rdseed CPU instruction. 533 534Changes for particular platforms 535-------------------------------- 536 537- On macOS, Bitcoin Core now opts out of application CPU throttling 538 ("app nap") during initial blockchain download, when catching up from 539 over 100 blocks behind the current chain tip, or when reindexing chain 540 data. This helps prevent these operations from taking an excessively 541 long time because the operating system is attempting to conserve 542 power. 543 5440.18.0 change log 545================= 546 547### Consensus 548- #14247 Fix crash bug with duplicate inputs within a transaction (TheBlueMatt) 549 550### Mining 551- #14811 Mining: Enforce that segwit option must be set in GBT (jnewbery) 552 553### Block and transaction handling 554- #13310 Report progress in ReplayBlocks while rolling forward (promag) 555- #13783 validation: Pass tx pool reference into CheckSequenceLocks (MarcoFalke) 556- #14834 validation: Assert that pindexPrev is non-null when required (kallewoof) 557- #14085 index: Fix for indexers skipping genesis block (jimpo) 558- #14963 mempool, validation: Explain `cs_main` locking semantics (MarcoFalke) 559- #15193 Default `-whitelistforcerelay` to off (sdaftuar) 560- #15429 Update `assumevalid`, `minimumchainwork`, and `getchaintxstats` to height 563378 (gmaxwell) 561- #15552 Granular invalidateblock and RewindBlockIndex (MarcoFalke) 562- #14841 Move CheckBlock() call to critical section (hebasto) 563 564### P2P protocol and network code 565- #14025 Remove dead code for nVersion=10300 (MarcoFalke) 566- #12254 BIP 158: Compact Block Filters for Light Clients (jimpo) 567- #14073 blockfilter: Avoid out-of-bounds script access (jimpo) 568- #14140 Switch nPrevNodeCount to vNodesSize (pstratem) 569- #14027 Skip stale tip checking if outbound connections are off or if reindexing (gmaxwell) 570- #14532 Never bind `INADDR_ANY` by default, and warn when doing so explicitly (luke-jr) 571- #14733 Make peer timeout configurable, speed up very slow test and ensure correct code path tested (zallarak) 572- #14336 Implement poll (pstratem) 573- #15051 IsReachable is the inverse of IsLimited (DRY).
