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). 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.

Downgrade warning

Downgrade to a version < 0.14.0.0

Downgrading to a version smaller than 0.14 is not supported anymore as DIP8 has activated on mainnet and testnet.

Downgrade to versions 0.14.0.0 - 0.14.0.1

Downgrading to older 0.14 releases is fully supported but is not recommended unless you have some serious issues with version 0.14.0.2.

Notable changes

Performance improvements

Slow startup times were observed in older versions. This was due to sub-optimal handling of old deterministic masternode lists which caused the loading of too many lists into memory. This should be fixed now.

Fixed excessive memory use

Multiple issues were found which caused excessive use of memory in some situations, especially when a full reindex was performed, causing the node to crash even when enough RAM was available. This should be fixed now.

Fixed out-of-sync masternode list UI

The masternode tab, which shows the masternode list, was not always up-to-date as it missed some internal updates. This should be fixed now.
