Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues 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 0.8.2 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine. 0.8.2 Release notes =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Fee Policy changes ------------------ The default fee for low-priority transactions is lowered from 0.0005 BTC (for each 1,000 bytes in the transaction; an average transaction is about 500 bytes) to 0.0001 BTC. Payments (transaction outputs) of 0.543 times the minimum relay fee (0.00005430 BTC) are now considered 'non-standard', because storing them costs the network more than they are worth and spending them will usually cost their owner more in transaction fees than they are worth. Non-standard transactions are not relayed across the network, are not inclu= ded in blocks by most miners, and will not show up in your wallet until they ar= e included in a block. The default fee policy can be overridden using the -mintxfee and -minrelayt= xfee command-line options, but note that we intend to replace the hard-coded fee= s with code that automatically calculates and suggests appropriate fees in th= e 0.9 release and note that if you set a fee policy significantly different f= rom the rest of the network your transactions may never confirm. Bitcoin-Qt changes ------------------ * New icon and splash screen * Improve reporting of synchronization process * Remove hardcoded fee recommendations * Improve metadata of executable on MacOSX and Windows * Move export button to individual tabs instead of toolbar * Add "send coins" command to context menu in address book * Add "copy txid" command to copy transaction IDs from transaction overview * Save & restore window size and position when showing & hiding window * New translations: Arabic (ar), Bosnian (bs), Catalan (ca), Welsh (cy), Esperanto (eo), Interlingua (la), Latvian (lv) and many improvements to current translations MacOSX: * OSX support for click-to-pay (bitcoin:) links * Fix GUI disappearing problem on MacOSX (issue #1522) Linux/Unix: * Copy addresses to middle-mouse-button clipboard Command-line options -------------------- * -walletnotify will call a command on receiving transactions that affect the wallet. * -alertnotify will call a command on receiving an alert from the network. * -par now takes a negative number, to leave a certain amount of cores free= . JSON-RPC API changes -------------------- * fixed a getblocktemplate bug that caused excessive CPU creating blocks. * listunspent now lists account and address infromation. * getinfo now also returns the time adjustment estimated from your peers. * getpeerinfo now returns bytessent, bytesrecv and syncnode. * gettxoutsetinfo returns statistics about the unspent transaction output database. * gettxout returns information about a specific unspent transaction output. Networking changes ------------------ * Significant changes to the networking code, reducing latency and memory consumption. * Avoid initial block download stalling. * Remove IRC seeding support. * Performance tweaks. * Added testnet DNS seeds. Wallet compatibility/rescuing ----------------------------- * Cases where wallets cannot be opened in another version/installation should be reduced. * -salvagewallet now works for encrypted wallets. Known Bugs ---------- * Entering the 'getblocktemplate' or 'getwork' RPC commands into the Bitcoin-Qt debug console will cause Bitcoin-Qt to crash. Run Bitcoin-Qt with the -server command-line option to workaround.
