Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind version 0.8.1 is now available from:
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.1/
|
|
|
|
This is a maintenance release that adds a new network rule to avoid
|
|
a chain-forking incompatibility with versions 0.7.2 and earlier.

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).
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you
|
|
run 0.8.1 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take
|
|
anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of
|
|
your machine.
