Please download and help test 0.9.0rc2; binaries are available from:
   https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/test/

If no serious bugs are found in this release candidate, it will be the
final 0.9.0 release.

Release notes (please help proofread/improve these, too):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bitcoin Core version 0.9.0rc2 is now available from:

  https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/test/

This is a release candidate for a new major version. A major version brings
both new features and bug fixes.

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues

How to Upgrade
--------------

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has
completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), uninstall all
earlier versions of Bitcoin, then run the installer (on Windows) or just
copy
over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).

If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run
0.9.0 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere
from
30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.

On Windows, do not forget to uninstall all earlier versions of the Bitcoin
client first, especially if you are switching to the 64-bit version.

Windows 64-bit installer
-------------------------

New in 0.9.0 is the Windows 64-bit version of the client. There have been
frequent reports of users running out of virtual memory on 32-bit systems
during the initial sync. Because of this it is recommended to install the
64-bit version if your system supports it.

NOTE: Release candidate 2 windows binaries are not code-signed; use pgp
and the SHA256SUMS.asc file to make sure your binaries are correct.
The final 0.9.0 release Windows setup.exe binaries will be code-signed.

OSX 10.5 / 32-bit no longer supported
-------------------------------------

0.9.0 drops support for older Macs. The minimum requirements are now
a 64-bit-capable CPU running OSX 10.6 or later.

Rebranding to Bitcoin Core
---------------------------

To reduce confusion between Bitcoin-the-network and Bitcoin-the-software we
have renamed the reference client to Bitcoin Core.

Autotools build system
-----------------------

For 0.9.0 we switched to an autotools-based build system instead of
individual
(q)makefiles.

Using the standard "./autogen.sh; ./configure; make" to build Bitcoin-Qt and
bitcoind makes it easier for experienced open source developers to
contribute
to the project.

Be sure to check doc/build-*.md for your platform before building from
source.

Bitcoin-cli
-------------

Another change in the 0.9 release is moving away from the bitcoind
executable
functioning both as a server and as a RPC client. The RPC client
functionality
("tell the running bitcoin daemon to do THIS") was split into a separate
executable, 'bitcoin-cli'. The RPC client code will eventually be removed
from
bitcoind, but will be kept for backwards compatibility for a release or two.

`walletpassphrase` RPC
-----------------------

The behavior of the `walletpassphrase` RPC when the wallet is already
unlocked
has changed between 0.8 and 0.9.

The 0.8 behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to fail when the wallet is
already unlocked:

    > walletpassphrase 1000
    walletunlocktime = now + 1000
    > walletpassphrase 10
    Error: Wallet is already unlocked (old unlock time stays)

The new behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to set a new unlock time
overriding
the old one:

    > walletpassphrase 1000
    walletunlocktime = now + 1000
    > walletpassphrase 10
    walletunlocktime = now + 10 (overriding the old unlock time)

Transaction malleability-related fixes
--------------------------------------

This release contains a few fixes for transaction id malleability issues:

- -nospendzeroconfchange command-line option, to avoid spending
  zero-confirmation change
- IsStandard() transaction rules tightened to prevent relaying and mining of
  mutated transactions
- Additional information in listtransactions/gettransaction output to
  report wallet transactions that conflict with each other because
  they spend the same outputs.
- Bug fixes to the getbalance/listaccounts RPC commands, which would report
  incorrect balances for double-spent (or mutated) transactions.
- New option: -zapwallettxes to rebuild the wallet's transaction information

Transaction Fees
----------------

This release drops the default fee required to relay transactions across the
network to 0.01mBTC per kilobyte. Note that getting a transaction relayed
across the network does NOT guarantee that the transaction will be
accepted by a miner and included in a block, and the default fee accepted
by miners remains 0.1mBTC per kilobyte.

As in previous releases, the relay fee may be changed with the
-minrelaytxfee
command-line option, and miners may change the default minimum fee they
accept
with the -mintxfee command-line option.

0.9.0rc2 Release notes
=======================

RPC:

- New notion of 'conflicted' transactions, reported as
  confirmations: -1

- Add raw transaction hex to 'gettransaction' output

Heads up... downloaded the linux tar.gz to my OVH box and got my server
terminated. Screenshot from the email:
http://cl.ly/image/3q0C2a3Y0T0V

They claimed I was attacking 88.198.199.140 over port 443.

Sounds very unlikely that bitcoind would connect to port 443, let alone
'attack' anything.

Anything in debug.log regarding that IP?

Didn't mean that bitcoind was connecting over port 443. I didn't even get a
chance to compile. I was literally just finished downloading the tar.gz
file when my server was terminated.

Still trying to convince them I wasn't attacking anyone so they can
re-enable the server.

Thanks,

The domain bitcoin.org resolves to that IP address. Could it be some
update check together with a circular redirect? That could at least
explain the large number of connection attempts.
