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).
|
||||
|
||||
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, 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.
|
||||
|
||||
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 or later. Upgrading directly from 0.7.x and earlier without
|
||||
redownloading the blockchain is not supported. However, as usual, old
|
||||
wallet versions are still supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Compatibility
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
|
||||
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not
|
||||
recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
|
||||
as frequently tested on them.
|
||||
|
||||
From 0.17.0 onwards, macOS <10.10 is no longer supported. 0.17.0 is
|
||||
built using Qt 5.9.x, which doesn't support versions of macOS older than
|
||||
10.10. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance when
|
||||
macOS "dark mode" is activated.
|
||||
|
||||
Known issues
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
Wallet GUI
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
For advanced users who have both (1) enabled coin control features, and
|
||||
(2) are using multiple wallets loaded at the same time: The coin control
|
||||
input selection dialog can erroneously retain wrong-wallet state when
|
||||
switching wallets using the dropdown menu. For now, it is recommended
|
||||
not to use coin control features with multiple wallets loaded.

||||

||||
