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 in some cases), then run the
|
||||
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS)
|
||||
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
|
||||
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
|
||||
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Compatibility
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
|
||||
using the Linux Kernel 3.17+, macOS 11.0+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
|
||||
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
|
||||
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
|
||||
unsupported systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Notable changes
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
libbitcoinconsensus
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- libbitcoinconsensus is deprecated and will be removed for v28. This library has
|
||||
existed for nearly 10 years with very little known uptake or impact. It has
|
||||
become a maintenance burden.
|
||||
|
||||
The underlying functionality does not change between versions, so any users of
|
||||
the library can continue to use the final release indefinitely, with the
|
||||
understanding that Taproot is its final consensus update.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, libbitcoinkernel will provide a much more useful API that is
|
||||
aware of the UTXO set, and therefore be able to fully validate transactions and
|
||||
blocks. (#29189)
|
||||
|
||||
mempool.dat compatibility
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The `mempool.dat` file created by -persistmempool or the savemempool RPC will
|
||||
be written in a new format. This new format includes the XOR'ing of transaction
|
||||
contents to mitigate issues where external programs (such as anti-virus) attempt
|
||||
to interpret and potentially modify the file.
|
||||
|
||||
This new format can not be read by previous software releases. To allow for a
|
||||
downgrade, a temporary setting `-persistmempoolv1` has been added to fall back
|
||||
to the legacy format. (#28207)
|
||||
|
||||
P2P and network changes
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- BIP324 v2 transport is now enabled by default. It remains possible to disable v2
|
||||
by running with `-v2transport=0`. (#29347)
|
||||
- Manual connection options (`-connect`, `-addnode` and `-seednode`) will
|
||||
now follow `-v2transport` to connect with v2 by default. They will retry with
|
||||
v1 on failure. (#29058)
|
||||
|
||||
- Network-adjusted time has been removed from consensus code. It is replaced
|
||||
with (unadjusted) system time. The warning for a large median time offset
|
||||
(70 minutes or more) is kept. This removes the implicit security assumption of
|
||||
requiring an honest majority of outbound peers, and increases the importance
|
||||
of the node operator ensuring their system time is (and stays) correct to not
|
||||
fall out of consensus with the network. (#28956)
|
||||
|
||||
Mempool Policy Changes
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Opt-in Topologically Restricted Until Confirmation (TRUC) Transactions policy
|
||||
(aka v3 transaction policy) is available for use on test networks when
|
||||
`-acceptnonstdtxn=1` is set. By setting the transaction version number to 3, TRUC transactions
|
||||
request the application of limits on spending of their unconfirmed outputs. These
|
||||
restrictions simplify the assessment of incentive compatibility of accepting or
|
||||
replacing TRUC transactions, thus ensuring any replacements are more profitable for
|
||||
the node and making fee-bumping more reliable. TRUC transactions are currently
|
||||
nonstandard and can only be used on test networks where the standardness rules are
|
||||
relaxed or disabled (e.g. with `-acceptnonstdtxn=1`). (#28948)
|
||||
|
||||
External Signing
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Support for external signing on Windows has been disabled. It will be re-enabled
|
||||
once the underlying dependency (Boost Process), has been replaced with a different
|
||||
library. (#28967)
|
||||
|
||||
Updated RPCs
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The addnode RPC now follows the `-v2transport` option (now on by default, see above) for making connections.
|
||||
It remains possible to specify the transport type manually with the v2transport argument of addnode. (#29239)
|
||||
|
||||
Build System
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
- A C++20 capable compiler is now required to build Bitcoin Core. (#28349)
|
||||
- MacOS releases are configured to use the hardened runtime libraries (#29127)
|
||||
|
||||
Wallet
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
- The CoinGrinder coin selection algorithm has been introduced to mitigate unnecessary
|
||||
large input sets and lower transaction costs at high feerates. CoinGrinder
|
||||
searches for the input set with minimal weight. Solutions found by
|
||||
CoinGrinder will produce a change output. CoinGrinder is only active at
|
||||
elevated feerates (default: 30+ sat/vB, based on `-consolidatefeerate`×3). (#27877)
|
||||
- The Branch And Bound coin selection algorithm will be disabled when the subtract fee
|
||||
from outputs feature is used. (#28994)
|
||||
- If the birth time of a descriptor is detected to be later than the first transaction
|
||||
involving that descriptor, the birth time will be reset to the earlier time. (#28920)
|
||||
|
||||
Low-level changes
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Pruning
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
- When pruning during initial block download, more blocks will be pruned at each
|
||||
flush in order to speed up the syncing of such nodes. (#20827)
|
||||
|
||||
Init
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
- Various fixes to prevent issues where subsequent instances of Bitcoin Core would
|
||||
result in deletion of files in use by an existing instance. (#28784, #28946)
|
||||
- Improved handling of empty `settings.json` files. (#29144)
