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/Dash-Qt (on Mac) or dashd/dash-qt (on Linux).
Downgrade warning
Downgrade to a version < 0.12.2.2
Because release 0.12.2.2 included the per-UTXO fix which changed the structure of the internal database, you will have to reindex the database if you decide to use any pre-0.12.2.2 version.
Wallet forward or backward compatibility was not affected.
Downgrade to 0.12.2.2
Downgrading to 0.12.2.2 does not require any additional actions, should be fully compatible.
Notable changes
InstantSend fixes
Coin selection could work slightly incorrect in some edge cases which could lead to a creation of an InstantSend transaction which only the local wallet would consider to be a good candidate for a lock. Such txes was not locked by the network but they were creating a confusion on the user side giving an impression of a slightly higher InstantSend failure rate.
Another issue fixed in this release is that masternodes could vote for a tx that is not going to be accepted to the mempool sometimes. This could lead to a situation when user funds would be locked even though InstantSend transaction would not show up on the receiving side.
Fix -liquidityprovider option
Turned out that liquidityprovider mixing mode practically stopped working after recent improvements in the PrivateSend mixing algorithm due to a suboptimal looping which occurs only in this mode (due to a huge number of rounds). To fix the issue a small part of the mixing algorithm was reverted to a pre-0.12.2 one for this mode only. Regular users were not affected by the issue in any way and will continue to use the improved one just like before.
Other improvements and bug fixes
This release also fixes a few crashes and compatibility issues.
