What’s new? Do we have an official changelog yet?
Unfortunately we don’t have an official changelog yet (except for the SVN revision descriptions).
Here is my unofficial changelog:
- fix: makefile.osx
- change: enable SSE2 in 64 bit builds
- change: connection rules
- always make 8 outbound connections
- only one connection per a.b.. range
- add: switch “-maxconnections=#” (discussed here)
- change: JSON-RPC API prints floats with 8 decimal places
- change: “bitcoind help
” instead of “bitcoind -?” (based on a patch by jgarzik) - add: JSON-RPC “gethashespersec” (based on a patch by lachesis)
- add: “version” and “hashespersec” fields in JSON-RPC “getinfo”
- fix: “-datadir=
” with relative path (bug described here) - change: autostart disabled by default except on Windows (requested here)
- fix: occasional “vector iterator not dereferencable” assertion when compiled with msvc
- fix: readlink compile warning on Linux build
- fix: BSD detection (bug described here)
- add: “-paytxfee=#” switch (explained here)
Please tell me if you know of any other forum threads discussing the bugs/changes so I can add them to the list.

That’s a great changelog. I sent you 2 for your trouble. Smiley
Don’t wanna take credit where it’s not due Smiley
the hashes/sec patch was from lachesis, and the extended-help might have been based on my idea, but the code was somewhat different.

The idea was the main part. When you posted your patch, I realized it should have been done that way instead of ”-?”. I always had reservations about ”-?” because it intrudes on the possible parameter values, and the help response is based on the version of the caller instead of the server.
