Bitcoin Core version 0.9.2 is now available from:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2/
(or https://bitcoin.org/en/download)
This is a new minor version release, bringing mostly bug fixes and some min=
or
improvements. OpenSSL has been updated because of a security issue
(CVE-2014-0224).
Upgrading to this release is recommended.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
Upgrading and downgrading
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D
How to Upgrade
--------------
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has comple=
tely
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
0.9.0 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere fr=
om
30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
Downgrading warnings
--------------------
The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous
releases, so if you run 0.9.x and then decide to switch back to a
0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the
old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of
unspent transaction outputs).
Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstat=
e
data structures and correct the problem.
Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan
the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens
of minutes on a typical machine).

Gitian OSX build
-----------------
The deterministic build system that was already used for Windows and Linux
builds is now used for OSX as well. Although the resulting executables have
been tested quite a bit, there could be possible regressions. Be sure to re=
port
these on the Github bug tracker mentioned above.
Compatibility of Linux build
-----------------------------
For Linux we now build against Qt 4.6, and filter the symbols for
libstdc++ and glibc.
This brings back compatibility with
- Debian 6+ / Tails
- Ubuntu 10.04
- CentOS 6.5
