1 Bitcoin Core version 0.9.2 is now available from:
3 https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2/
5 This is a new minor version release, bringing mostly bug fixes and some minor
6 improvements. OpenSSL has been updated because of a security issue (CVE-2014-0224).
7 Upgrading to this release is recommended.
9 Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
11 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
16 If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
17 shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
18 installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or
19 bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
21 If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run
22 0.9.2 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from
23 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
28 The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous
29 releases, so if you run 0.9.x and then decide to switch back to a
30 0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the
31 old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of
32 unspent transaction outputs).
34 Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate
35 data structures and correct the problem.
37 Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan
38 the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens
39 of minutes on a typical machine).
47 The deterministic build system that was already used for Windows and Linux
48 builds is now used for OSX as well. Although the resulting executables have
49 been tested quite a bit, there could be possible regressions. Be sure to report
50 these on the Github bug tracker mentioned above.
52 Compatibility of Linux build
53 -----------------------------
55 For Linux we now build against Qt 4.6, and filter the symbols for libstdc++ and glibc.
56 This brings back compatibility with
