Notable changes
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
This fixes a serious problem on Windows with data directories that have non-ASCII
|
||||
characters (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6078).
|
||||
Fix buffer overflow in bundled upnp
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For other platforms there are no notable changes.
|
||||
Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 1.9.20151008. This fixes a buffer overflow in
|
||||
the XML parser during initial network discovery.

0.10.2 Change log
|
||||
This applies to the distributed executables only, not when building from source or
|
||||
using distribution provided packages.
|
||||
|
||||
Test for LowS signatures before relaying
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Make the node require the canonical 'low-s' encoding for ECDSA signatures when
|
||||
relaying or mining. This removes a nuisance malleability vector.
|
||||
|
||||
Consensus behavior is unchanged.
|
||||
|
||||
If widely deployed this change would eliminate the last remaining known vector
|
||||
for nuisance malleability on SIGHASH_ALL P2PKH transactions. On the down-side
|
||||
it will block most transactions made by sufficiently out of date software.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike the other avenues to change txids on transactions this
|
||||
one was randomly violated by all deployed bitcoin software prior to
|
||||
its discovery. So, while other malleability vectors where made
|
||||
non-standard as soon as they were discovered, this one has remained
|
||||
permitted. Even BIP62 did not propose applying this rule to
|
||||
old version transactions, but conforming implementations have become
|
||||
much more common since BIP62 was initially written.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core has produced compatible signatures since a28fb70e in
|
||||
September 2013, but this didn't make it into a release until 0.9
|
||||
in March 2014; Bitcoinj has done so for a similar span of time.
|
||||
Bitcoinjs and electrum have been more recently updated.
|
||||
|
||||
This does not replace the need for BIP62 or similar, as miners can
|
||||
still cooperate to break transactions. Nor does it replace the
|
||||
need for wallet software to handle malleability sanely[1]. This
|
||||
only eliminates the cheap and irritating DOS attack.
