1Bitcoin-Qt version 0.8.0 is now available from:
2  http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.0/
3
4This is a major release designed to improve performance and handle the
5increasing volume of transactions on the network.
6
7Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
8  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
9
10How to Upgrade
11--------------
12
13If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait
14until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older
15versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over
16/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
17
18The first time you run after the upgrade a re-indexing process will be
19started that will take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours,
20depending on the speed of your machine.
21
22Incompatible Changes
23--------------------
24
25This release no longer maintains a full index of historical transaction ids
26by default, so looking up an arbitrary transaction using the getrawtransaction
27RPC call will not work. If you need that functionality, you must run once
28with -txindex=1 -reindex=1 to rebuild block-chain indices (see below for more
29details).
30
31Improvements
32------------
33
34Mac and Windows binaries are signed with certificates owned by the Bitcoin
35Foundation, to be compatible with the new security features in OSX 10.8 and
36Windows 8.
37
38LevelDB, a fast, open-source, non-relational database from Google, is
39now used to store transaction and block indices.  LevelDB works much better
40on machines with slow I/O and is faster in general. Berkeley DB is now only
41used for the wallet.dat file (public and private wallet keys and transactions
42relevant to you).
43
44Pieter Wuille implemented many optimizations to the way transactions are
45verified, so a running, synchronized node uses less working memory and does
46much less I/O. He also implemented parallel signature checking, so if you
47have a multi-CPU machine all CPUs will be used to verify transactions.
48
49New Features
50------------
51
52"Bloom filter" support in the network protocol for sending only relevant transactions to
53lightweight clients.
54
55contrib/verifysfbinaries is a shell-script to verify that the binary downloads
56at sourceforge have not been tampered with. If you are able, you can help make
57everybody's downloads more secure by running this occasionally to check PGP
58signatures against download file checksums.
59
60contrib/spendfrom is a python-language command-line utility that demonstrates
61how to use the "raw transactions" JSON-RPC api to send coins received from particular
62addresses (also known as "coin control").
63
64New/changed settings (command-line or bitcoin.conf file)
65--------------------------------------------------------
66
67dbcache : controls LevelDB memory usage.
68
69par : controls how many threads to use to validate transactions. Defaults to the number
70of CPUs on your machine, use -par=1 to limit to a single CPU.
71
72txindex : maintains an extra index of old, spent transaction ids so they will be found
73by the getrawtransaction JSON-RPC method.
74
75reindex : rebuild block and transaction indices from the downloaded block data.
76
77New JSON-RPC API Features
78-------------------------
79
80lockunspent / listlockunspent allow locking transaction outputs for a period of time so
81they will not be spent by other processes that might be accessing the same wallet.
82
83addnode / getaddednodeinfo methods, to connect to specific peers without restarting.
84
85importprivkey now takes an optional boolean parameter (default true) to control whether
86or not to rescan the blockchain for transactions after importing a new private key.
87
88Important Bug Fixes
89-------------------
90
91Privacy leak: the position of the "change" output in most transactions was not being
92properly randomized, making network analysis of the transaction graph to identify
93users' wallets easier. 
94
95Zero-confirmation transaction vulnerability: accepting zero-confirmation transactions
96(transactions that have not yet been included in a block) from somebody you do not
97trust is still not recommended, because there will always be ways for attackers to
98double-spend zero-confirmation transactions. However, this release includes a bug
99fix that makes it a little bit more difficult for attackers to double-spend a
100certain type ("lockTime in the future") of zero-confirmation transaction.
101
102Dependency Changes
103------------------
104
105Qt 4.8.3 (compiling against older versions of Qt 4 should continue to work)
106
