tag:github.com,2008:https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage/releases Release notes from PyBitmessage 2018-02-13T23:24:14Z tag:github.com,2008:Repository/6648028/0.6.3.2 2018-02-19T15:29:46Z More strict exploit mitigation <p>This version is an update on 0.6.3 with a more strict exploit mitigation code. Users of 0.6.2 should either upgrade to 0.6.3.2 or downgrade to 0.6.1.</p> <p>February 16th: Windows binary available, signed both with a code signing key and a GPG key. Note: there won't be a 64bit Windows binary for 0.6.3.2 due to a lack of time. The new network subsystem has significantly improved CPU and memory requirements so you shouldn't be running low on memory even with the 32bit binary.</p> <p>February 17th: OSX binary available, only GPG signed, will be released code signed in the near future.</p> <p>February 19th: OSX code signing delayed for a couple of days for technical reasons.</p> PeterSurda tag:github.com,2008:Repository/6648028/0.6.3.1 2018-02-13T23:17:16Z 0.6.3.1 <p>More thorough vulnerability fix</p> PeterSurda tag:github.com,2008:Repository/6648028/v0.6.3 2018-02-13T16:36:35Z Emergency release to fix an exploitable bug <p>Version 0.6.2 has a bug that can be exploited for remote code execution. This is an emergency release, and 0.6.4 will be released in a couple of days with cleanup originally intended for 0.6.3, and full release notes. Everyone who uses 0.6.2 should upgrade (or, if upgrade is not possible, downgrade).</p> <p>Apart from the emergency fix, this release contains a new network subsystem which requires less resources (CPU and memory) and the Dandelion++ protocol extension for enhanced privacy.</p> <p>Windows and OSX binaries follow soon.</p> PeterSurda tag:github.com,2008:Repository/6648028/v0.6.2 2017-03-01T12:17:11Z 0.6.2 <p>Usability:</p> <ul> <li>many minor usability improvements, in particular helpful for beginners</li> <li>get rid of confusing log messages</li> <li>improved feedback when busy during shutdown</li> <li>UI feedback when problems with proxy</li> <li>UI feedback when local time is wrong</li> <li>UI feedback when C PoW module is not available</li> <li>folder loading performance improved</li> <li>translations updated</li> <li>chan join/create interface redesigned</li> <li>can select OpenCL vendor if multiple are available (previously it would have<br> crashed)</li> <li>locale initialisation fixes</li> <li>contact support form and About dialog show the GIT head</li> <li>added setup.py (setuptools) for easier installation</li> <li>gentle warning if sending to a chan with a too low TTL</li> <li>message retransmit timing now works as the description</li> </ul> <p>Fixes:</p> <ul> <li>networking subsystem stability fixes</li> <li>multiprocessing python PoW fixed</li> <li>message parser fixes</li> <li>many smaller fixes</li> <li>OpenBSD listening socket fix (works IPv4-only mode instead of not at all)</li> </ul> <p>Backend:</p> <ul> <li>try to auto-build PoW module</li> <li>networking subsystem performance improvements</li> <li>refactoring of configuration interface, inventory, downloading and uploading<br> tracking, known nodes and other minor parts</li> <li>refactoring to reduce circular imports and global variables</li> <li>support for OpenSSL 1.1.0 and LibreSSL</li> <li>some network parameters configurable, but mostly only through directly<br> editing keys.dat</li> <li>network settings allow an optimised bootstrap provider mode</li> </ul> <p>Developers:</p> <ul> <li>extended encoding available for testing.
