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 Mac) +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 10.12+, 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. + +From Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.12 are no +longer supported. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance +when macOS "dark mode" is activated. + +Known Bugs +========== + +The process for generating the source code release ("tarball") has changed in an +effort to make it more complete, however, there are a few regressions in +this release: + +- The generated `configure` script is currently missing, and you will need to + install autotools and run `./autogen.sh` before you can run + `./configure`. This is the same as when checking out from git. + +- Instead of running `make` simply, you should instead run + `BITCOIN_GENBUILD_NO_GIT=1 make`. + +Notable changes +=============== + +P2P and network changes +----------------------- + +#### Removal of BIP61 reject network messages from Bitcoin Core + +The `-enablebip61` command line option to enable BIP61 has been removed. +(#17004) + +This feature has been disabled by default since Bitcoin Core version 0.18.0. +Nodes on the network can not generally be trusted to send valid messages +(including reject messages), so this should only ever be used when +connected to a trusted node. Please use the alternatives recommended +below if you rely on this removed feature: + +- Testing or debugging of implementations of the Bitcoin P2P network protocol + should be done by inspecting the log messages that are produced by a recent + version of Bitcoin Core. Bitcoin Core logs debug messages + (`-debug=`) to a stream (`-printtoconsole`) or to a file + (`-debuglogfile=`). + +- Testing the validity of a block can be achieved by specific RPCs: + + - `submitblock` + + - `getblocktemplate` with `'mode'` set to `'proposal'` for blocks with + potentially invalid POW + +- Testing the validity of a transaction can be achieved by specific RPCs: + + - `sendrawtransaction` + + - `testmempoolaccept` + +- Wallets should not assume a transaction has propagated to the network + just because there are no reject messages. Instead, listen for the + transaction to be announced by other peers on the network. Wallets + should not assume a lack of reject messages means a transaction pays + an appropriate fee. Instead, set fees using fee estimation and use + replace-by-fee to increase a transaction's fee if it hasn't confirmed + within the desired amount of time. + +The removal of BIP61 reject message support also has the following minor RPC +and logging implications: + +- `testmempoolaccept` and `sendrawtransaction` no longer return the P2P reject + code when a transaction is not accepted to the mempool. They still return the + verbal reject reason. + +- Log messages that previously reported the reject code when a transaction was + not accepted to the mempool now no longer report the reject code. The reason + for rejection is still reported. + +Updated RPCs +------------ + +- The RPCs which accept descriptors now accept the new `sortedmulti(...)` descriptor + type which supports multisig scripts where the public keys are sorted + lexicographically in the resulting script. (#17056) + +- The `walletprocesspsbt` and `walletcreatefundedpsbt` RPCs now include + BIP32 derivation paths by default for public keys if we know them. + This can be disabled by setting the `bip32derivs` parameter to + `false`. (#17264) + +- The `bumpfee` RPC's parameter `totalFee`, which was deprecated in + 0.19, has been removed. (#18312) + +- The `bumpfee` RPC will return a PSBT when used with wallets that have + private keys disabled. (#16373) + +- The `getpeerinfo` RPC now includes a `mapped_as` field to indicate the + mapped Autonomous System used for diversifying peer selection. See the + `-asmap` configuration option described below in _New Settings_. (#16702) + +- The `createmultisig` and `addmultisigaddress` RPCs now return an + output script descriptor for the newly created address. (#18032) + +Build System +------------ + +- OpenSSL is no longer used by Bitcoin Core. (#17265) + +- BIP70 support has been fully removed from Bitcoin Core. The + `--enable-bip70` option remains, but it will throw an error during configure. + (#17165) + +- glibc 2.17 or greater is now required to run the release binaries. This + retains compatibility with RHEL 7, CentOS 7, Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (#17538) + +- The source code archives that are provided with gitian builds no longer contain + any autotools artifacts. Therefore, to build from such source, a user + should run the `./autogen.sh` script from the root of the unpacked archive. + This implies that `autotools` and other required packages are installed on the + user's system. (#18331) + +New settings +------------ + +- New `rpcwhitelist` and `rpcwhitelistdefault` configuration parameters + allow giving certain RPC users permissions to only some RPC calls. + (#12763) + +- A new `-asmap` configuration option has been added to diversify the + node's network connections by mapping IP addresses Autonomous System + Numbers (ASNs) and then limiting the number of connections made to any + single ASN. See [issue #16599](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16599), + [PR #16702](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16702), and the + `bitcoind help` for more information. This option is experimental and + subject to removal or breaking changes in future releases, so the + legacy /16 prefix mapping of IP addresses remains the default. (#16702) + +Updated settings +---------------- + +- All custom settings configured when Bitcoin Core starts are now + written to the `debug.log` file to assist troubleshooting. (#16115) + +- Importing blocks upon startup via the `bootstrap.dat` file no longer + occurs by default. The file must now be specified with + `-loadblock=`. (#17044) + +- The `-debug=db` logging category has been renamed to + `-debug=walletdb` to distinguish it from `coindb`. The `-debug=db` + option has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major + release. (#17410) + +- The `-walletnotify` configuration parameter will now replace any `%w` + in its argument with the name of the wallet generating the + notification. This is not supported on Windows. (#13339) + +Removed settings +---------------- + +- The `-whitelistforcerelay` configuration parameter has been removed after + it was discovered that it was rendered ineffective in version 0.13 and + hasn't actually been supported for almost four years. (#17985) + +GUI changes +----------- + +- The "Start Bitcoin Core on system login" option has been removed on macOS. + (#17567) + +- In the Peers window, the details for a peer now displays a `Mapped AS` + field to indicate the mapped Autonomous System used for diversifying + peer selection. See the `-asmap` configuration option in _New + Settings_, above. (#18402) + +- A "known bug" [announced](https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.18.0/#wallet-gui) + in the release notes of version 0.18 has been fixed. The issue + affected anyone who simultaneously used multiple Bitcoin Core wallets + and the GUI coin control feature. (#18894) + +- For watch-only wallets, creating a new transaction in the Send screen + or fee bumping an existing transaction in the Transactions screen will + automatically copy a Partially-Signed Bitcoin Transaction (PSBT) to + the system clipboard. This can then be pasted into an external + program such as [HWI](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI) for + signing. Future versions of Bitcoin Core should support a GUI option + for finalizing and broadcasting PSBTs, but for now the debug console + may be used with the `finalizepsbt` and `sendrawtransaction` RPCs. + (#16944, #17492) + +Wallet +------ + +- The wallet now by default uses bech32 addresses when using RPC, and + creates native segwit change outputs. (#16884) + +- The way that output trust was computed has been fixed, which affects + confirmed/unconfirmed balance status and coin selection. (#16766) + +- The `gettransaction`, `listtransactions` and `listsinceblock` RPC + responses now also include the height of the block that contains the + wallet transaction, if any. (#17437) + +- The `getaddressinfo` RPC has had its `label` field deprecated + (re-enable for this release using the configuration parameter + `-deprecatedrpc=label`). The `labels` field is altered from returning + JSON objects to returning a JSON array of label names (re-enable + previous behavior for this release using the configuration parameter + `-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose`). Backwards compatibility using the + deprecated configuration parameters is expected to be dropped in the + 0.21 release. (#17585, #17578) + +Documentation changes +--------------------- + +- Bitcoin Core's automatically-generated source code documentation is + now available at https://doxygen.bitcoincore.org. (#17596) + +Low-level changes +================= + +Utilities +--------- + +- The `bitcoin-cli` utility used with the `-getinfo` parameter now + returns a `headers` field with the number of downloaded block headers + on the best headers chain (similar to the `blocks` field that is also + returned) and a `verificationprogress` field that estimates how much + of the best block chain has been synced by the local node. The + information returned no longer includes the `protocolversion`, + `walletversion`, and `keypoololdest` fields. (#17302, #17650) + +- The `bitcoin-cli` utility now accepts a `-stdinwalletpassphrase` + parameter that can be used when calling the `walletpassphrase` and + `walletpassphrasechange` RPCs to read the passphrase from standard + input without echoing it to the terminal, improving security against + anyone who can look at your screen. The existing `-stdinrpcpass` + parameter is also updated to not echo the passphrase. (#13716) + +Command line +------------ + +- Command line options prefixed with main/test/regtest network names like + `-main.port=8333` `-test.server=1` previously were allowed but ignored. Now + they trigger "Invalid parameter" errors on startup. (#17482) + +New RPCs +-------- + +- The `dumptxoutset` RPC outputs a serialized snapshot of the current + UTXO set. A script is provided in the `contrib/devtools` directory + for generating a snapshot of the UTXO set at a particular block + height. (#16899) + +- The `generatetodescriptor` RPC allows testers using regtest mode to + generate blocks that pay an arbitrary output script descriptor. + (#16943) + +Updated RPCs +------------ + +- The `verifychain` RPC default values are now static instead of + depending on the command line options or configuration file + (`-checklevel`, and `-checkblocks`). Users can pass in the RPC + arguments explicitly when they don't want to rely on the default + values. (#18541) + +- The `getblockchaininfo` RPC's `verificationprogress` field will no + longer report values higher than 1. Previously it would occasionally + report the chain was more than 100% verified. (#17328) + +Tests +----- + +- It is now an error to use an unqualified `walletdir=path` setting in + the config file if running on testnet or regtest networks. The setting + now needs to be qualified as `chain.walletdir=path` or placed in the + appropriate `[chain]` section. (#17447) + +- `-fallbackfee` was 0 (disabled) by default for the main chain, but + 0.0002 by default for the test chains. Now it is 0 by default for all + chains. Testnet and regtest users will have to add + `fallbackfee=0.0002` to their configuration if they weren't setting it + and they want it to keep working like before. (#16524) + +Build system +------------ + +- Support is provided for building with the Android Native Development + Kit (NDK).
