This is list of the main changes that have been merged in this release:
  • Segwit P2SH recovery
  • Schnorr signatures
  • Compact Block implementations

  • Graphene: Fast Filter instead of Bloom Filter (optional)
  • Graphene: seeding of IBLT hash function
  • Graphene: use cheap hashes to avoid short id tx collision
  • Graphene: reduce decode failure to 0.5% via IBLT padding
  • Graphene: O(1) heuristic to determine IBLT / BF size for block over 600 txns
  • RPC enhancements and new commands (getrawblocktransactions, getrawtransactionssince and gettxoutproofs)
  • QA reliability improvemennts
  • Easier gitian build process (docker based)
  • Code restructure around the 3 block propagation techs we currently support (Graphene, CB, Xthin)
  • Move to C++14 and bump lib boost minimum ver to match
  • Update Windows build scripts

I'm running BUCash 1.6.0.0 on Win7 64-bit. I'm running into some issue on shutdown. When I close the bitcoin-qt.exe client it's stuck on the 'shutting down... do not turn off computer' dialog indefinitely.

Is anyone else getting this problem?
