|||
|
|||
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.5/ |
|||
|

This is a new minor version release, with the goal of backporting BIP66. There |
|||

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. |
|||
|
|||
