Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer currency. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new money or tracks transactions. These tasks are managed collectively by the network. Bitcoin is a decentralized P2P electronic cash system without a central server or trusted parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly with each other, with the help of the network to check for double-spending. ...

Version	Date Released	Status	Release Notes
0.6.2	May 18, 2012	New Release	Source codebase changes: · Many source code cleanups and warnings fixes. Close to building with -Wall Locking overhaul, and several minor locking fixes · Several source code portability fixes, e.g. FreeBSD JSON-RPC interface changes: · add multisigaddress enabled for mainnet (previously only enabled for testnet) Network protocol changes: · protocol version 60001 · added nonce value to "ping" message (BIP 31) · added new "pong" message (BIP 31) Backend storage changes: · Less redundant database flushing, especially during initial block download Shutdown improvements (see above) Qt user interface: · minor URI handling improvements · progress bar improvements · error handling improvements (show message box rather than console exception, etc.) · by popular request, make 4th bar of connection icon green
0.6.1 RC 1	May 7, 2012	New Release	· Initial network synchronization should be much faster (one or two hours on a typical machine instead of ten or more hours). · Backup Wallet menu option. Bitcoin-Qt can display and save QR codes for sending and receiving addresses. · New context menu on addresses to copy/edit/delete them. · New Sign Message dialog that allows you to prove that you own a bitcoin address by creating a digital signature. · New wallets created with this version will use 33-byte 'compressed' public keys instead of 65-byte public keys, resulting in smaller transactions and less traffic on the bitcoin network. · The shorter keys are already supported by the network but wallet.dat files containing short keys are not compatible with earlier versions of Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind. · New command-line argument -blocknotify= that will spawn a shell process to run when a new block is accepted.

0.6.0 RC 5	Mar 30, 2012	New Release	PROTOCOL UPDATES: · BIP 30: Introduce a new network rule: "a block is not valid if it contains a transaction whose hash already exists in the block chain, unless all that transaction's outputs were already spent before said block" beginning on March 15, 2012, 00:00 UTC. · On testnet, allow mining of min-difficulty blocks if 20 minutes have gone by without mining a regular-difficulty block. This is to make testing Bitcoin easier, and will not affect normal mode. BUG FIXES: · Limit the number of orphan transactions stored in memory, to prevent a potential denial-of-service attack by flooding orphan transactions. Also never store invalid transactions at all. · Fix possible buffer overflow on systems with very long application data paths. This is not exploitable. · Resolved multiple bugs preventing long-term unlocking of encrypted wallets (issue #922). · Only send local IP in "version" messages if it is globally routable (ie, not private), and try to get such an IP from UPnP if applicable

0.5.2	Jan 23, 2012	New Release	· Check all transactions in blocks after the last checkpoint (0.5.0 and 0.5.1 skipped checking ECDSA signatures during initial blockchain download). · Cease locking memory used by non-sensitive information (this caused a huge performance hit on some platforms, especially noticable during initial blockchain download). · Fixed some address-handling deadlocks (client freezes). · No longer accept inbound connections over the internet when Bitcoin is being used with Tor (identity leak). · Re-enable SSL support for the JSON-RPC interface (it was unintentionally disabled for the 0.5.0 and 0.5.1 release Linux binaries). · Use the correct base transaction fee of 0.0005 BTC for accepting transactions into mined blocks (since 0.4.0, it was incorrectly accepting 0.0001 BTC which was only meant to be relayed). · Don't show "IP" for transactions which are not necessarily IP transactions. · Add new DNS seeds
