| 43 | +How to Upgrade |
| 44 | +============== |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has |
| 47 | +completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older |
| 48 | +versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over |
| 49 | +`/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac) or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on |
| 50 | +Linux). |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database |
| 53 | +will be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few |
| 54 | +minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and |
| 57 | +there is no automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version |
| 58 | +0.15.0 or later. Upgrading directly from 0.7.x and earlier without |
| 59 | +redownloading the blockchain is not supported. However, as usual, old |
| 60 | +wallet versions are still supported. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Compatibility |
| 63 | +============== |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems |
| 66 | +using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not |
| 67 | +recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not |
| 70 | +as frequently tested on them. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +From 0.17.0 onwards, macOS <10.10 is no longer supported. 0.17.0 is |
| 73 | +built using Qt 5.9.x, which doesn't support versions of macOS older than |
| 74 | +10.10. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance when |
| 75 | +macOS "dark mode" is activated. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +Known issues |
| 78 | +============ |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +Wallet GUI |
| 81 | +---------- |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +For advanced users who have both (1) enabled coin control features, and |
| 84 | +(2) are using multiple wallets loaded at the same time: The coin control |
| 85 | +input selection dialog can erroneously retain wrong-wallet state when |
| 86 | +switching wallets using the dropdown menu. For now, it is recommended |
| 87 | +not to use coin control features with multiple wallets loaded. |
| 88 | + |
