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.
