 9  CHANGE SUMMARY
10  
11  Fixed a serious denial-of-service attack that could cause the
12  bitcoin process to become unresponsive. Thanks to Sergio Lerner
13  for finding and responsibly reporting the problem. (CVE-2012-3789)
14  
15  Optimized the process of checking transaction signatures, to
16  speed up processing of new block messages and make propagating
17  blocks across the network faster.
18  
19  Fixed an obscure bug that could cause the bitcoin process to get
20  stuck on an invalid block-chain, if the invalid chain was
21  hundreds of blocks long.
22  
23  Bitcoin-Qt no longer automatically selects the first address
24  in the address book (Issue #1384).
25  
26  Fixed minimize-to-dock behavior of Bitcoin-Qt on the Mac.
27  
28  Added a block checkpoint at block 185,333 to speed up initial
29  blockchain download.
