1Bitcoin-Qt version 0.8.5 is now available from:
2  http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.5/
3
4This is a maintenance release to fix a critical bug;
5we urge all users to upgrade.
6
7Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
8  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
9
10
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 0.8.5 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take
21anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of
22your machine.
23
240.8.5 Release notes
25===================
26
27Bugs fixed
28----------
29
30Transactions with version numbers larger than 0x7fffffff were
31incorrectly being relayed and included in blocks.
32
33Blocks containing transactions with version numbers larger
34than 0x7fffffff caused the code that checks for LevelDB database
35inconsistencies at startup to erroneously report database
36corruption and suggest that you reindex your database.
37
38This release also contains a non-critical fix to the code that
39enforces BIP 34 (block height in the coinbase transaction).
40
41--
42
43Thanks to Gregory Maxwell and Pieter Wuille for quickly
44identifying and fixing the transaction version number bug.
