Upgrading and downgrading
|
||
|
|
=========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to Upgrade
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
|
||
|
|
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
|
||
|
|
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or
|
||
|
|
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Downgrade warning
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because release 0.10.0 and later makes use of headers-first synchronization and
|
||
|
|
parallel block download (see further), the block files and databases are not
|
||
|
|
backwards-compatible with pre-0.10 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Blocks will be stored on disk out of order (in the order they are
|
||
|
|
received, really), which makes it incompatible with some tools or
|
||
|
|
other programs. Reindexing using earlier versions will also not work
|
||
|
|
anymore as a result of this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The block index database will now hold headers for which no block is
|
||
|
|
stored on disk, which earlier versions won't support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to be able to downgrade smoothly, make a backup of your entire data
|
||
|
|
directory. Without this your node will need start syncing (or importing from
|
||
|
|
bootstrap.dat) anew afterwards. It is possible that the data from a completely
|
||
|
|
synchronised 0.10 node may be usable in older versions as-is, but this is not
|
||
|
|
supported and may break as soon as the older version attempts to reindex.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notable changes
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This fixes a serious problem on Windows with data directories that have non-ASCII
|
||
|
|
characters (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6078).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For other platforms there are no notable changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
