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/Litecoin-Qt` (on Mac)
|
|
or `litecoind`/`litecoin-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 higher. Upgrading
|
|
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without re-downloading the blockchain is not supported.
|
|
However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
|
|
|
|
Downgrading warning
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Wallets created in 0.16 and later are not compatible with versions prior to 0.16
|
|
and will not work if you try to use newly created wallets in older versions. Existing
|
|
wallets that were created with older versions are not affected by this.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Litecoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
|
|
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.
|
|
|
|
Litecoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
|
|
frequently tested on them.
|
|
|
|
Notable changes
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Miner block size removed
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The `-blockmaxsize` option for miners to limit their blocks' sizes was
|
|
deprecated in version 0.15.1, and has now been removed. Miners should use the
|
|
`-blockmaxweight` option if they want to limit the weight of their blocks'
|
|
weights.
