I'm proud to announce version 2.41 of Bitcoin Wallet.

The changes are mostly under the hood, but some of them are massive:

  • Seriously reduced bandwidth and CPU usage due to usage of bloom filters on peer connections
  • Faster connection setup to peers
  • Ability to spend your own change instantly, without waiting for confirmation
  • No need to manually disconnect any more for any of the preferences
  • Preference for showing the connectivity indicator
  • Shortcut to request coins by long tapping on QR code
  • Enhanced Peer monitor to show more info about peers, e.g. hostname
  • Fallback for fetching exchange rates (bitcoincharts first, then blockchain)
  • Lots of small improvements and bugfixes
  • Based on bitcoinj 0.7

The bloom filter feature depends on seeing at least one bitcoin-qt/bitcoind 0.8.0 (protocol version 70000+) to download blocks from. As of today, the chance for this is roughly 50% and will increase as the new version spreads. If you want to help, update your bitcoin-qt now.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to Bitcoin Wallet and bitcoinj. Mike Hearn and Matt Corallo earn extra hugs for making bloom filters a reality!
