| 16 | +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. |
