10NOTABLE CHANGES
11
12Much faster shutdowns. However, the blkindex.dat file is no longer
13portable to different data directories by default. If you need a
14portable blkindex.dat file then run with the new -detachdb=1 option
15or the "Detach databases at shutdown" GUI preference.
16
17Fixed https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/1065, a bug that
18could cause long-running nodes to crash.
19
20Mac and Windows binaries are compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.1b (Linux
21binaries are dynamically linked to the version of OpenSSL on the system).
22
23
