It is recommended to upgrade to this version. + +Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: + + <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues> + +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. + +Notable changes +=============== + +This fixes a serious problem on Windows with data directories that have non-ASCII +characters (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6078). + +For other platforms there are no notable changes. + +For the notable changes in 0.10, refer to the release notes +at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.10.0/doc/release-notes.md + +0.10.2 Change log +================= + +Detailed release notes follow. This overview includes changes that affect external +behavior, not code moves, refactors or string updates. + +Wallet: +- `824c011` fix boost::get usage with boost 1.58 + +Miscellaneous: +- `da65606` Avoid crash on start in TestBlockValidity with gen=1. +- `424ae66` don't imbue boost::filesystem::path with locale "C" on windows (fixes #6078) + +Credits +======= + +Thanks to everyone who directly contributed to this release: + +- Cory Fields +- Gregory Maxwell +- Jonas Schnelli +- Wladimir J. van der Laan + +And all those who contributed additional code review and/or security research: + +- dexX7 +- Pieter Wuille +- vayvanne + +As well as everyone that helped translating on [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/). |
