This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE for version 1.9.0. The latest STABLE release is v1.8.1.

The eosio.system and eosio.bios contracts contained in this release can only be deployed on an EOSIO blockchain after the activation of the WTMSIG_BLOCK_SIGNATURES consensus protocol upgrade.

System contract

When someone outbids an existing account name, the system contract generates a deferred transaction containing the eosio::bidrefund action to return the funds of the account that was outbid. In prior releases of the system contract, this action was authorized by the active permission of the eosio which meant the CPU/NET costs of the entire deferred transaction was billed to the eosio account. As of this release, the authorizer of the eosio::bidrefund action is the active permission of the account that was outbid (#383).
