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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New features
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Added a boolean argument to the RPC 'stop' command, if true sets
|
||
|
|
-detachdb to create standalone database .dat files before shutting down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* -salvagewallet command-line option, which moves any existing wallet.dat
|
||
|
|
to wallet.{timestamp}.dat and then attempts to salvage public/private
|
||
|
|
keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into
|
||
|
|
a new wallet.dat. This should only be used if your wallet becomes
|
||
|
|
corrupted, and is not intended to replace regular wallet backups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Import $DataDir/bootstrap.dat automatically, if it exists.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dependency changes
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Qt 4.8.2 for Windows builds
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* openssl 1.0.1c
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bug fixes
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Clicking on a bitcoin: URI on Windows should now launch Bitcoin-Qt properly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* When running -testnet, use RPC port 18332 by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Better detection and handling of corrupt wallet.dat and blkindex.dat files.
|
||
|
|
Previous versions would crash with a DB_RUNRECOVERY exception, this
|
||
|
|
version detects most problems and tells you how to recover if it
|
||
|
|
cannot recover itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed an uninitialized variable bug that could cause transactions to
|
||
|
|
be reported out of order.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fixed a bug that could cause occasional crashes on exit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Warn the user that they need to create fresh wallet backups after they
|
||
|
|
encrypt their wallet.
