This is a minor release to add some DoS protection.
Changes:
- Added some DoS limits, though it's still far from DoS resistant.
- Removed "safe mode" alerts.
Added some
DoS limits, removed safe mode (0.3.19)
There's more work to do on DoS, but I'm doing a quick build of what I
have so far in case it's needed, before venturing into more complex
ideas. The build for this is version 0.3.19.
Added some DoS controls
As Gavin and I have said clearly before, the software is not at all
resistant to DoS attack. This is one improvement, but there are still
more ways to attack than I can count.
I'm leaving the -limitfreerelay part as a switch for now and it's
there if you need it.
Removed "safe mode" alerts
"safe mode" alerts was a temporary measure after the 0.3.9 overflow
bug. We can say all we want that users can just run with
"-disablesafemode", but it's better just not to have it for the sake of
appearances. It was never intended as a long term feature. Safe mode can
still be triggered by seeing a longer (greater total PoW) invalid block
chain.
