How to Upgrade
17+
==============
18+
19+
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
20+
shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the
21+
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS)
22+
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
23+
24+
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
25+
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
26+
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
27+
28+
Running Bitcoin Core binaries on macOS requires self signing.
29+
```
30+
cd /path/to/bitcoin-28.x/bin
31+
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine bitcoin-cli bitcoin-qt bitcoin-tx bitcoin-util bitcoin-wallet bitcoind test_bitcoin
32+
codesign -s - bitcoin-cli bitcoin-qt bitcoin-tx bitcoin-util bitcoin-wallet bitcoind test_bitcoin
33+
```
34+
35+
Compatibility
36+
==============
37+
38+
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
39+
using the Linux Kernel 3.17+, macOS 11.0+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
40+
Core should also work on most other UNIX-like systems but is not as
41+
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
42+
unsupported systems.
43+
44+
Notable changes
45+
===============
46+
47+
### P2P
48+
49+
- When the `-port` configuration option is used, the default onion listening port will now
50+
be derived to be that port + 1 instead of being set to a fixed value (8334 on mainnet).
51+
This re-allows setups with multiple local nodes using different `-port` and not using `-bind`,
52+
which would lead to a startup failure in v28.0 due to a port collision.
53+
54+
Note that a `HiddenServicePort` manually configured in `torrc` may need adjustment if used in
55+
connection with the `-port` option.
56+
For example, if you are using `-port=5555` with a non-standard value and not using `-bind=...=onion`,
57+
previously Bitcoin Core would listen for incoming Tor connections on `127.0.0.1:8334`.
58+
Now it would listen on `127.0.0.1:5556` (`-port` plus one). If you configured the hidden service manually
59+
in torrc now you have to change it from `HiddenServicePort 8333 127.0.0.1:8334` to `HiddenServicePort 8333
60+
127.0.0.1:5556`, or configure bitcoind with `-bind=127.0.0.1:8334=onion` to get the previous behavior.
