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/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or
|
|
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
|
|
|
|
Notable changes
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Mining and relay policy enhancements
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining
|
|
software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use
|
|
libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward.
|
|
If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin
|
|
Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status.
|
|
If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you.
|
|
If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect
|
|
you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66
|
|
achieving its 951/1001 status.
