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/Darkcoin-Qt (on Mac) or
darkcoind/darkcoin-qt (on Linux).
Mining and relay policy enhancements
------------------------------------
@ -46,47 +34,38 @@ Darkcoin Core 0.11.2 implements BIP 66, which introduces block version 3, and a
new consensus rule, which prohibits non-DER signatures. Such transactions have
been non-standard since Darkcoin 0.8, but were technically still permitted
inside blocks.
This change breaks the dependency on OpenSSL's signature parsing, and is
required if implementations would want to remove all of OpenSSL from the
consensus code.
The same miner-voting mechanism as in BIP 34 is used: when 751 out of a
sequence of 1001 blocks have version number 3 or higher, the new consensus
rule becomes active for those blocks. When 951 out of a sequence of 1001
blocks have version number 3 or higher, it becomes mandatory for all blocks.
Backward compatibility with current mining software is NOT provided, thus
miners should read the first paragraph of "Mining and relay policy
enhancements" above.
Also compare with [upstream release notes](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/0.10/doc/release-notes.md#mining-and-relay-policy-enhancements).
More info on [BIP 66](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0066.mediawiki).
