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). |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Notable changes |
||||||
|
================ |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mining and relay policy enhancements |
||||||
|
------------------------------------ |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining |
||||||
|
software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use |
||||||
|
libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward. |
||||||
|
If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin |
||||||
|
Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status. |
||||||
|
If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you. |
||||||
|
If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect |
||||||
|
you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66 |
||||||
|
achieving its 951/1001 status. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
