1Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind version 0.8.1 is now available from:
2  http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.1/
3
4This is a maintenance release that adds a new network rule to avoid
5a chain-forking incompatibility with versions 0.7.2 and earlier.

7Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

11How to Upgrade
12--------------
13
14If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait
15until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older
16versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over
17/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
18
19If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you
20run 0.8.1 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take
21anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of
22your machine.
