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).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you were running on Linux with a version that might have been compiled
|
||
|
|
with a different version of Berkeley DB (for example, if you were using an
|
||
|
|
Ubuntu PPA version), then run the old version again with the -detachdb
|
||
|
|
argument and shut it down; if you do not, then the new version will not
|
||
|
|
be able to read the database files and will exit with an error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Explanation of -detachdb (and the new "stop true" RPC command):
|
||
|
|
The Berkeley DB database library stores data in both ".dat" and
|
||
|
|
"log" files, so the database is always in a consistent state,
|
||
|
|
even in case of power failure or other sudden shutdown. The
|
||
|
|
format of the ".dat" files is portable between different
|
||
|
|
versions of Berkeley DB, but the "log" files are not-- even minor
|
||
|
|
version differences may have incompatible "log" files. The
|
||
|
|
-detachdb option moves any pending changes from the "log" files
|
||
|
|
to the "blkindex.dat" file for maximum compatibility, but makes
|
||
|
|
shutdown much slower. Note that the "wallet.dat" file is always
|
||
|
|
detached, and versions prior to 0.6.0 detached all databases
|
||
|
|
at shutdown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bug fixes
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Prevent RPC 'move' from deadlocking. This was caused by trying to lock the
|
||
|
|
database twice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fix use-after-free problems in initialization and shutdown, the latter of
|
||
|
|
which caused Bitcoin-Qt to crash on Windows when exiting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Correct library linking so building on Windows natively works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Avoid a race condition and out-of-bounds read in block creation/mining code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Improve platform compatibility quirks, including fix for 100% CPU utilization
|
||
|
|
on FreeBSD 9.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A few minor corrections to error handling, and updated translations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* OSX 10.5 supported again
