Compatibility
|
||
|
|
==============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
|
||
|
|
an OS initially released in 2001. This means that not even critical security
|
||
|
|
updates will be released anymore. Without security updates, using a litecoin
|
||
|
|
wallet on a XP machine is irresponsible at least.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to that, with 0.12.x there have been varied reports of Bitcoin Core
|
||
|
|
randomly crashing on Windows XP. It is [not clear](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681#issuecomment-217439891)
|
||
|
|
what the source of these crashes is, but it is likely that upstream
|
||
|
|
libraries such as Qt are no longer being tested on XP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We do not have time nor resources to provide support for an OS that is
|
||
|
|
end-of-life. From 0.13.0 on, Windows XP is no longer supported. Users are
|
||
|
|
suggested to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, or install an alternative OS
|
||
|
|
that is supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP,
|
||
|
|
you can still do so at your own risk, but do not expect it to work: do not
|
||
|
|
report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From 0.13.1 onwards OS X 10.7 is no longer supported. 0.13.0 was intended to work on 10.7+,
|
||
|
|
but severe issues with the libc++ version on 10.7.x keep it from running reliably.
|
||
|
|
0.13.1 now requires 10.8+, and will communicate that to 10.7 users, rather than crashing unexpectedly.
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
Notable changes
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New Multisig Address Prefix
|
||
|
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Litecoin Core now supports P2SH addresses beginning with M on mainnet and Q on testnet.
|
||
|
|
P2SH addresses beginning with 3 on mainnet and m or n on testnet will continue to be valid.
|
||
|
|
Old and new addresses can be used interchangeably.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
miniupnp CVE-2017-8798
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 2.0.20170509. This fixes an integer signedness error (present in MiniUPnPc v1.4.20101221 through v2.0) that allows remote attackers (within the LAN) to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This only affects users that have explicitly enabled UPnP through the GUI setting or through the -upnp option, as since the last UPnP vulnerability (in Litecoin Core 0.10.4) it has been disabled by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you use this option, it is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reset Testnet
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Testnet3 has been deprecated and replaced with Testnet4. The server port has been changed to 19335 however the RPC port remains
|
||
|
|
the same (19332).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Testnet faucets can be located at:
|
||
|
|
- http://testnet.litecointools.com
|
||
|
|
- http://testnet.thrasher.io
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Developers who require the new testnet blockchain paramaters can find them [here](https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/0.13/src/chainparams.cpp#L214).
