Upgrading and downgrading |
|
|
|
========================= |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Downgrade warning |
|
|
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because release 0.10.0 and later makes use of headers-first synchronization and |
|
|
|
parallel block download (see further), the block files and databases are not |
|
|
|
backwards-compatible with pre-0.10 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Blocks will be stored on disk out of order (in the order they are |
|
|
|
received, really), which makes it incompatible with some tools or |
|
|
|
other programs. Reindexing using earlier versions will also not work |
|
|
|
anymore as a result of this. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The block index database will now hold headers for which no block is |
|
|
|
stored on disk, which earlier versions won't support. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to be able to downgrade smoothly, make a backup of your entire data |
|
|
|
directory. Without this your node will need start syncing (or importing from |
|
|
|
bootstrap.dat) anew afterwards. It is possible that the data from a completely |
|
|
|
synchronised 0.10 node may be usable in older versions as-is, but this is not |
|
|
|
supported and may break as soon as the older version attempts to reindex. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility. There are no |
|
|
|
known problems when downgrading from 0.11.x to 0.10.x. |
