Bitcoin ABC 0.24.4 Release Notes
Bitcoin ABC version 0.24.4 is now available from:
https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.24.4/
This release includes the following features and fixes:
- Bitcoin ABC will no longer create an unnamed
""
wallet by default when no wallet is
specified on the command line or in the configuration files. For backwards compatibility,
if an unnamed""
wallet already exists and would have been loaded previously, then it
will still be loaded. Users without an unnamed""
wallet and without any other wallets
to be loaded on startup will be prompted to either choose a wallet to load, or to
create a new wallet. - A new
send
RPC with similar syntax towalletcreatefundedpsbt
, including
support for coin selection and a custom fee rate. Using the newsend
method
is encouraged:sendmany
andsendtoaddress
may be deprecated in a future release. - The
testmempoolaccept
RPC returnssize
and afee
object with thebase
fee
if the transaction passes validation. - A "sequence" notifier is added to ZeroMQ notifications, enabling client-side mempool
tracking. - The same ZeroMQ notification (e.g.
-zmqpubhashtx=address
) can now be specified multiple
times to publish the same notification to different ZeroMQ sockets. - The
-startupnotify
option can be used to specify a command to execute when Bitcoin ABC
has finished with its startup sequence.
