How to upgrade:
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Firstly, thank you for running Litecoin Core and helping secure the network!
|
||||
|
||||
As you’re running an older version of Litecoin Core, shut it down. Wait until it’s completely shut down - which might take a few minutes for older versions - then follow these simple steps:
|
||||
For Windows: simply run the installer
|
||||
For Mac: copy over to `/Applications/Litecoin-Qt`
|
||||
For Linux: copy cover `litecoind`/`litecoin-qt`.
|
||||
|
||||
NB: upgrading directly from an ‘end of life’ version of Litecoin Core is possible, but it might take a while if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old wallet versions of Litecoin Core are generally supported.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compatibility:
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Litecoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, Windows 7 and newer. It’s not recommended to use Litecoin Core on unsupported systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Litecoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems, but is not as frequently tested on them.
|
||||
|
||||
MWEB fields added to BlockIndex, and block serialization format has changed. Downgrading to older versions is unsafe.
|
||||
|
||||
If upgrading to 0.21.2 *after* MWEB has activated, you must resync to download MWEB blocks.
|
||||

Consensus changes
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
An issue with MWEB key generation for older wallets that were upgraded was solved.
|
||||
Keys are now generated from the appropriate keypools, and coins sent to previously generated stealth addresses are recoverable.
|
||||
Use `rescanblockchain` after upgrading to recover any missing MWEB coins.
|
||||
|
||||
- This release implements the proposed MWEB consensus rules
|
||||
([LIP002](https://github.com/litecoin-project/lips/blob/master/lip-0002.mediawiki),
|
||||
[LIP003](https://github.com/litecoin-project/lips/blob/master/lip-0003.mediawiki), and
|
||||
[LIP004](https://github.com/litecoin-project/lips/blob/master/lip-0004.mediawiki))
|
||||
|
||||
P2P and network changes
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- A new service flag, NODE_MWEB (1 << 24), was added to signal to peers that the node supports MWEB.
|
||||
When connected peers both advertise this capability, they are expected to provide all MWEB data when
|
||||
sharing transactions, blocks, and compact blocks with each other.
|
||||
|
||||
- Nodes now announce compact block version 3 support, informing peers that they can provide MWEB data
|
||||
in compact blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Updated RPCs
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
- `getblockheader` now returns an additional `mweb_header` field containing
|
||||
all of the MWEB header data, and an `mweb_amount` field containing the total
|
||||
number of coins pegged-in to the MWEB after applying the block.
|
||||
|
||||
- `getblock` now returns an additional `mweb` field containing MWEB header info,
|
||||
and all of the inputs, outputs, and kernels in the MWEB block.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added `mwebweight`, `descendantmwebweight`, `ancestormwebweight`, and `mweb`
|
||||
fields to `getrawmempool`, `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants`,
|
||||
and `getmempoolentry`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added new fields to describe MWEB transaction inputs, outputs, and kernels
|
||||
for `getrawtransaction`.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes to Wallet or GUI related RPCs can be found in the GUI or Wallet section below.
|
||||
|
||||
New settings
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Added "fMWEBFeatures" option for enabling the new "Advanced MWEB Features"
|
||||
control.
|
||||
|
||||
Wallet Database
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Added "mweb_coin" type which stores MWEB coins and their derived keys.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added CHDChain version 4 which includes an MWEB key index counter and
|
||||
the stealth address scan key.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added CKeyMetadata version 14 which includes the MWEB key index.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added FEATURE_MWEB = 210000 minimum database version.
|
||||
|
||||
Wallet RPC changes
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Added 'listwallettransactions' which matches the transaction list display values.
|
||||
|
||||
GUI changes
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
- Added an "Advanced MWEB Features" control for testing. It’s only available
|
||||
when the "-debug" argument is supplied, and the option is turned on in the
|
||||
settings dialog.
