Bitcoin Core version 0.9.2.1 is now available from: |
||||
|
||||
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2.1/ |
||||
|
||||
This is a new minor version release, bringing mostly bug fixes and some minor |
||||
improvements. OpenSSL has been updated because of a security issue (CVE-2014-0224). |
||||
Upgrading to this release is recommended. |

|
||||
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). |
||||
|
||||
If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run |
||||
0.9.2.1 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from |
||||
30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine. |
||||
|
||||
Downgrading warnings |
||||
-------------------- |
||||
|
||||
The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous |
||||
releases, so if you run 0.9.x and then decide to switch back to a |
||||
0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the |
||||
old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of |
||||
unspent transaction outputs). |
||||
|
||||
Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate |
||||
data structures and correct the problem. |
||||
|
||||
Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan |
||||
the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens |
||||
of minutes on a typical machine). |
||||
|
||||
Important changes |
||||
================== |
||||
|
||||
Gitian OSX build |
||||
----------------- |
||||
|
||||
The deterministic build system that was already used for Windows and Linux |
||||
builds is now used for OSX as well. Although the resulting executables have |
||||
been tested quite a bit, there could be possible regressions. Be sure to report |
||||
these on the Github bug tracker mentioned above. |
||||
|
||||
Compatibility of Linux build |
||||
----------------------------- |
||||
|
||||
For Linux we now build against Qt 4.6, and filter the symbols for libstdc++ and glibc. |
||||
This brings back compatibility with |
||||
|
||||
- Debian 6+ / Tails |
||||
- Ubuntu 10.04 |
||||
- CentOS 6.5 |
||||
|
||||
0.9.2 - 0.9.2.1 Release notes |
||||
======================= |
||||
|
||||

||||
- Fix RPC related shutdown hangs and leaks |
||||
- Always show syncnode in `getpeerinfo` |
||||
- `sendrawtransaction`: report the reject code and reason, and make it possible to re-send transactions that are already in the mempool |
||||
- `getmininginfo` show right genproclimit |
||||
|
||||
Command-line options: |
||||
|
||||

||||
- Fixes feel when resizing the last column on tables (issue #2862) |
||||
- Fix ESC in disablewallet mode |
||||
- Add expert section to wallet tab in optionsdialog |
||||
- Do proper boost::path conversion (fixes unicode in datadir) |
||||
- Only override -datadir if different from the default (fixes -datadir in config file) |
||||
- Show rescan progress at start-up |
||||
- Show importwallet progress |
||||
- Get required locks upfront in polling functions (avoids hanging on locks) |
||||
- Catch Windows shutdown events while client is running |
||||
