10.21.2 Release Notes
2====================
3
4Bitcoin Core version 0.21.2 is now available from:
5
6  <https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.21.2/>
7
8This minor release includes various bug fixes and performance
9improvements, as well as updated translations.
10
11Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
12
13  <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
14
15To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
16
17  <https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
18
19How to Upgrade
20==============
21
22If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
23shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the
24installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
25or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
26
27Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
28possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
29wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
30
31Compatibility
32==============
33
34Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
35using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.12+, and Windows 7 and newer.  Bitcoin
36Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
37frequently tested on them.  It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
38unsupported systems.
39
40From Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.12 are no
41longer supported. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance
42when macOS "dark mode" is activated.
