The first time you run version 0.15.0, your chainstate database will be converted to a |
|
|
|
|
new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, |
|
|
|
|
depending on the speed of your machine. |

The file format of `fee_estimates.dat` changed in version 0.15.0. Hence, a |
|
|
|
|
downgrade from version 0.15.0 or upgrade to version 0.15.0 will cause all fee |
|
|
|
|
estimates to be discarded. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no |
|
|
|
|
automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading |
|
|
|
|
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported. |
