Wait until it has completely +shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the +installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS) +or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux). + +Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is +possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old +wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported. + +Compatibility +============== + +Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems +using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.15+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin +Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as +frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on +unsupported systems. + +### P2P + +- #26878 I2P network optimizations +- #26909 net: prevent peers.dat corruptions by only serializing once +- #27608 p2p: Avoid prematurely clearing download state for other peers +- #27610 Improve performance of p2p inv to send queues + +### RPC and other APIs + +- #26515 rpc: Require NodeStateStats object in getpeerinfo +- #27279 doc: fix/improve warning helps in {create,load,unload,restore}wallet +- #27468 rest: avoid segfault for invalid URI + +### Build System + +- #26944 depends: fix systemtap download URL +- #27462 depends: fix compiling bdb with clang-16 on aarch64 + +### Wallet + +- #26595 wallet: be able to specify a wallet name and passphrase to migratewallet +- #26675 wallet: For feebump, ignore abandoned descendant spends +- #26679 wallet: Skip rescanning if wallet is more recent than tip +- #26761 wallet: fully migrate address book entries for watchonly/solvable wallets +- #27053 wallet: reuse change dest when re-creating TX with avoidpartialspends +- #27080 wallet: Zero out wallet master key upon locking so it doesn't persist in memory +- #27473 wallet: Properly handle "unknown" Address Type + +### GUI changes + +- gui#687 Load PSBTs using istreambuf_iterator rather than istream_iterator +- gui#704 Correctly limit overview transaction list + +### Miscellaneous + +- #26880 ci: replace Intel macOS CI job +- #26924 refactor: Add missing includes to fix gcc-13 compile error + +Credits +======= + +Thanks to everyone who directly contributed to this release: + +- Andrew Chow +- Anthony Towns +- Hennadii Stepanov +- John Moffett +- Jon Atack +- Marco Falke +- Martin Zumsande +- Matthew Zipkin +- Michael Ford +- pablomartin4btc +- Sebastian Falbesoner +- Suhas Daftuar +- Thomas Nguyen +- Vasil Dimov + +As well as to everyone that helped with translations on +[Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/). \ No newline at end of file
