| 30 | +0.20.1 Release Notes |
| 31 | +==================== |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Bitcoin Core version 0.20.1 is now available from: |

| 38 | +improvements, as well as updated translations. |

| 47 | + |
| 48 | +How to Upgrade |
| 49 | +============== |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely |
| 52 | +shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the |
| 53 | +installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac) |
| 54 | +or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux). |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is |
| 57 | +possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old |
| 58 | +wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Compatibility |
| 61 | +============== |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems |
| 64 | +using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.12+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin |
| 65 | +Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as |
| 66 | +frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on |
| 67 | +unsupported systems. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +From Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.12 are no |
| 70 | +longer supported. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance |
| 71 | +when macOS "dark mode" is activated. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +Known Bugs |
| 74 | +========== |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +The process for generating the source code release ("tarball") has changed in an |
| 77 | +effort to make it more complete, however, there are a few regressions in |
| 78 | +this release: |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +- The generated `configure` script is currently missing, and you will need to |
| 81 | + install autotools and run `./autogen.sh` before you can run |
| 82 | + `./configure`. This is the same as when checking out from git. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +- Instead of running `make` simply, you should instead run |
| 85 | + `BITCOIN_GENBUILD_NO_GIT=1 make`. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +Notable changes |
| 88 | +=============== |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +Changes regarding misbehaving peers |
| 91 | +----------------------------------- |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +Peers that misbehave (e.g. send us invalid blocks) are now referred to as |
| 94 | +discouraged nodes in log output, as they're not (and weren't) strictly banned: |
| 95 | +incoming connections are still allowed from them, but they're preferred for |
| 96 | +eviction. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +Furthermore, a few additional changes are introduced to how discouraged |
| 99 | +addresses are treated: |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +- Discouraging an address does not time out automatically after 24 hours |
| 102 | + (or the `-bantime` setting). Depending on traffic from other peers, |
| 103 | + discouragement may time out at an indeterminate time. |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +- Discouragement is not persisted over restarts. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +- There is no method to list discouraged addresses. They are not returned by |
| 108 | + the `listbanned` RPC. That RPC also no longer reports the `ban_reason` |
| 109 | + field, as `"manually added"` is the only remaining option. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +- Discouragement cannot be removed with the `setban remove` RPC command. |
| 112 | + If you need to remove a discouragement, you can remove all discouragements by |
| 113 | + stop-starting your node. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +Notification changes |
| 116 | +-------------------- |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +`-walletnotify` notifications are now sent for wallet transactions that are |
| 119 | +removed from the mempool because they conflict with a new block. These |
| 120 | +notifications were sent previously before the v0.19 release, but had been |
| 121 | +broken since that release (bug |
| 122 | +#18325). |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +PSBT changes |
| 125 | +------------ |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +PSBTs will contain both the non-witness utxo and the witness utxo for segwit |
| 128 | +inputs in order to restore compatibility with wallet software that are now |
| 129 | +requiring the full previous transaction for segwit inputs. The witness utxo |
| 130 | +is still provided to maintain compatibility with software which relied on its |
| 131 | +existence to determine whether an input was segwit. |
| 132 | + |
