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 your node has a txindex, the txindex db will be migrated the first time you run 0.17.0 or newer, which may take up to a few hours. Your node will not be functional until this migration completes. + +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. Upgrading +directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported. +However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported. + +Downgrading warning +------------------- + +The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous +releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any +older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate` +option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format. + +If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and +processing the entire blockchain. + +Compatibility +============== + +Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using +the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer (Windows XP is not supported). + +Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not +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. + +Notable changes +=============== + +`listtransactions` label support +-------------------------------- + +The `listtransactions` RPC `account` parameter which was deprecated in 0.17.0 +and renamed to `dummy` has been un-deprecated and renamed again to `label`. + +When bitcoin is configured with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` setting, specifying +a label/account/dummy argument will return both outgoing and incoming +transactions. Without the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` setting, it will only return +incoming transactions (because it used to be possible to create transactions +spending from specific accounts, but this is no longer possible with labels). + +When `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` is set, it's possible to pass the empty string "" +to list transactions that don't have any label. Without +`-deprecatedrpc=accounts`, passing the empty string is an error because returning +only non-labeled transactions is not generally useful behavior and can cause +confusion. + +0.17.1 change log +================= + +### P2P protocol and network code +- #14685 `9406502` Fix a deserialization overflow edge case (kazcw) +- #14728 `b901578` Fix uninitialized read when stringifying an addrLocal (kazcw) + +### Wallet +- #14441 `5150acc` Restore ability to list incoming transactions by label (jnewbery) +- #13546 `91fa15a` Fix use of uninitialized value `bnb_used` in CWallet::CreateTransaction(…) (practicalswift) +- #14310 `bb90695` Ensure wallet is unlocked before signing (gustavonalle) +- #14690 `5782fdc` Throw error if CPubKey is invalid during PSBT keypath serialization (instagibbs) +- #14852 `2528443` backport: [tests] Add `wallet_balance.py` (MarcoFalke) +- #14196 `3362a95` psbt: always drop the unnecessary utxo and convert non-witness utxo to witness when necessary (achow101) +- #14588 `70ee1f8` Refactor PSBT signing logic to enforce invariant and fix signing bug (gwillen) +- #14424 `89a9a9d` Stop requiring imported pubkey to sign non-PKH schemes (sipa, MeshCollider) + +### RPC and other APIs +- #14417 `fb9ad04` Fix listreceivedbyaddress not taking address as a string (etscrivner) +- #14596 `de5e48a` Bugfix: RPC: Add `address_type` named param for createmultisig (luke-jr) +- #14618 `9666dba` Make HTTP RPC debug logging more informative (practicalswift) +- #14197 `7bee414` [psbt] Convert non-witness UTXOs to witness if witness sig created (achow101) +- #14377 `a3fe125` Check that a separator is found for psbt inputs, outputs, and global map (achow101) +- #14356 `7a590d8` Fix converttopsbt permitsigdata arg, add basic test (instagibbs) +- #14453 `75b5d8c` Fix wallet unload during walletpassphrase timeout (promag) + +### GUI +- #14403 `0242b5a` Revert "Force TLS1.0+ for SSL connections" (real-or-random) +- #14593 `df5131b` Explicitly disable "Dark Mode" appearance on macOS (fanquake) + +### Build system +- #14647 `7edebed` Remove illegal spacing in darwin.mk (ch4ot1c) +- #14698 `ec71f06` Add bitcoin-tx.exe into Windows installer (ken2812221) + +### Tests and QA +- #13965 `29899ec` Fix extended functional tests fail (ken2812221) +- #14011 `9461f98` Disable wallet and address book Qt tests on macOS minimal platform (ryanofsky) +- #14180 `86fadee` Run all tests even if wallet is not compiled (MarcoFalke) +- #14122 `8bc1bad` Test `rpc_help.py` failed: Check whether ZMQ is enabled or not (Kvaciral) +- #14101 `96dc936` Use named args in validation acceptance tests (MarcoFalke) +- #14020 `24d796a` Add tests for RPC help (promag) +- #14052 `7ff32a6` Add some actual witness in `rpc_rawtransaction` (MarcoFalke) +- #14215 `b72fbab` Use correct python index slices in example test (sdaftuar) +- #14024 `06544fa` Add `TestNode::assert_debug_log` (MarcoFalke) +- #14658 `60f7a97` Add test to ensure node can generate all rpc help texts at runtime (MarcoFalke) +- #14632 `96f15e8` Fix a comment (fridokus) +- #14700 `f9db08e` Avoid race in `p2p_invalid_block` by waiting for the block request (MarcoFalke) +- #14845 `67225e2` Add `wallet_balance.py` (jnewbery) + +### Documentation +- #14161 `5f51fd6` doc/descriptors.md tweaks (ryanofsky) +- #14276 `85aacc4` Add autogen.sh in ARM Cross-compilation (walterwhite81) + +Credits +======= + +Thanks to everyone who directly contributed to this release: + +- Andrew Chow +- Chun Kuan Lee +- David A.
