Bitcoin Core v0.9.0 is released

The reference implementation adopted the “Bitcoin Core” name and added significant transaction, wallet, and network improvements.

The release introduced coin control, a lower default transaction fee, and a standard OP_RETURN data carrier. Renaming the software helped distinguish the implementation maintained by developers from the Bitcoin network and asset.
