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 were running on Linux with a version that might have been compiled |
|
with a different version of Berkeley DB (for example, if you were using an |
|
Ubuntu PPA version), then run the old version again with the -detachdb |
|
argument and shut it down; if you do not, then the new version will not |
|
be able to read the database files and will exit with an error. |
|
|
|
Explanation of -detachdb (and the new "stop true" RPC command): |
|
The Berkeley DB database library stores data in both ".dat" and |
|
"log" files, so the database is always in a consistent state, |
|
even in case of power failure or other sudden shutdown. The |
|
format of the ".dat" files is portable between different |
|
versions of Berkeley DB, but the "log" files are not-- even minor |
|
version differences may have incompatible "log" files. The |
|
-detachdb option moves any pending changes from the "log" files |
|
to the "blkindex.dat" file for maximum compatibility, but makes |
|
shutdown much slower. Note that the "wallet.dat" file is always |
|
detached, and versions prior to 0.6.0 detached all databases |
|
at shutdown. |
|
|
|
New features |
|
------------ |
|
|
|
* Added a boolean argument to the RPC 'stop' command, if true sets |
|
-detachdb to create standalone database .dat files before shutting down. |
|
|
|
* -salvagewallet command-line option, which moves any existing wallet.dat |
|
to wallet.{timestamp}.dat and then attempts to salvage public/private |
|
keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into |
|
a new wallet.dat. This should only be used if your wallet becomes |
|
corrupted, and is not intended to replace regular wallet backups. |
|
|
|
* Import $DataDir/bootstrap.dat automatically, if it exists. |
|
|
|
Dependency changes |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
* Qt 4.8.2 for Windows builds |
|
|
|
* openssl 1.0.1c |
|
|
|
Bug fixes |
|
--------- |
|
|
|
* When running -testnet, use RPC port 18332 by default. |
|
|
|
* Better detection and handling of corrupt wallet.dat and blkindex.dat files. |
|
Previous versions would crash with a DB_RUNRECOVERY exception, this |
|
version detects most problems and tells you how to recover if it |
|
cannot recover itself. |
|
|
|
* Fixed an uninitialized variable bug that could cause transactions to |
|
be reported out of order. |
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug that could cause occasional crashes on exit. |
|
|
|
* Warn the user that they need to create fresh wallet backups after they |
|
encrypt their wallet. |
