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/Dash-Qt (on Mac) or +dashd/dash-qt (on Linux). If you upgrade after DIP0003 activation and you were +using version < 0.13 you will have to reindex (start with -reindex-chainstate +or -reindex) to make sure your wallet has all the new data synced. Upgrading +from version 0.13 should not require any additional actions. + +When upgrading from a version prior to 18.0.1, the +first startup of Dash Core will run a migration process which can take anywhere +from a few minutes to thirty minutes to finish. After the migration, a +downgrade to an older version is only possible with a reindex +(or reindex-chainstate). + +Downgrade warning +----------------- + +### Downgrade to a version < v18.0.1 + +Downgrading to a version older than v18.0.1 is not supported due to changes in +the indexes database folder. If you need to use an older version, you must +either reindex or re-sync the whole chain. + +### Downgrade of masternodes to < v18.0.1 + +Starting with the 0.16 release, masternodes verify the protocol version of other +masternodes. This results in PoSe punishment/banning for outdated masternodes, +so downgrading even prior to the activation of the introduced hard-fork changes +is not recommended. + +Notable changes +=============== + +This release resolves some excessive memory usage via the "evo" database (evodb). + +18.0.2 Change log +=================== + +See detailed [set of changes](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/compare/v18.0.1...dashpay:v18.0.2`). + +- [`666ff7bff9`](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/commit/666ff7bff9) merge bitcoin#14193: Add missing mempool locks +- [`96f4022a6a`](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/commit/96f4022a6a) chore: archive release-nodes.md +- [`0b60096d8a`](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/commit/0b60096d8a) chore: bump version to 18.0.2 +- [`e8afde2740`](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/commit/e8afde2740) fix: Flush chainstate (and evodb) cache whenever evodb mem usage is getting too high (#5007) +- [`8efd7f04c6`](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/commit/8efd7f04c6) Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#25739: Update leveldb subtree (#5005) +- [`c92cbce6a5`](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/commit/c92cbce6a5) trivial: Fix trailing whitespaces in release notes (#4989) + +Credits +======= + +Thanks to everyone who directly contributed to this release: + +- kittywhiskers +- PastaPastaPasta +- UdjinM6 + +As well as everyone that submitted issues and reviewed pull requests. + +Older releases +============== + +Dash was previously known as Darkcoin. + +Darkcoin tree 0.8.x was a fork of Litecoin tree 0.8, original name was XCoin +which was first released on Jan/18/2014. + +Darkcoin tree 0.9.x was the open source implementation of masternodes based on +the 0.8.x tree and was first released on Mar/13/2014. + +Darkcoin tree 0.10.x used to be the closed source implementation of Darksend +which was released open source on Sep/25/2014. + +Dash Core tree 0.11.x was a fork of Bitcoin Core tree 0.9, +Darkcoin was rebranded to Dash. + +Dash Core tree 0.12.0.x was a fork of Bitcoin Core tree 0.10. + +Dash Core tree 0.12.1.x was a fork of Bitcoin Core tree 0.12. + +These release are considered obsolete.
