4This is a bug-fix minor release.

6Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
7  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
8
9How to Upgrade
10--------------
11
12If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait
13until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older
14versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over
15/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
16
17If you were running on Linux with a version that might have been compiled
18with a different version of Berkeley DB (for example, if you were using an
19Ubuntu PPA version), then run the old version again with the -detachdb
20argument and shut it down; if you do not, then the new version will not
21be able to read the database files and will exit with an error.
22
23Explanation of -detachdb (and the new "stop true" RPC command):
24The Berkeley DB database library stores data in both ".dat" and
25"log" files, so the database is always in a consistent state,
26even in case of power failure or other sudden shutdown. The
27format of the ".dat" files is portable between different
28versions of Berkeley DB, but the "log" files are not-- even minor
29version differences may have incompatible "log" files. The
30-detachdb option moves any pending changes from the "log" files
31to the "blkindex.dat" file for maximum compatibility, but makes
32shutdown much slower. Note that the "wallet.dat" file is always
33detached, and versions prior to 0.6.0 detached all databases
34at shutdown.
35
36Bug fixes
37---------
38
39* Prevent RPC 'move' from deadlocking. This was caused by trying to lock the
40  database twice.
41
42* Fix use-after-free problems in initialization and shutdown, the latter of
43  which caused Bitcoin-Qt to crash on Windows when exiting.
44
45* Correct library linking so building on Windows natively works.
46
47* Avoid a race condition and out-of-bounds read in block creation/mining code.
48
49* Improve platform compatibility quirks, including fix for 100% CPU utilization
50  on FreeBSD 9.
51
52* A few minor corrections to error handling, and updated translations.
53
54* OSX 10.5 supported again
