Wait until it has completely 17shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the 18installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or 19bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux). 20 21Notable changes 22================ 23 24Mining and relay policy enhancements 25------------------------------------ 26 27Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining 28software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use 29libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward. 30If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin 31Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status. 32If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you. 33If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect 34you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66 35achieving its 951/1001 status. 36 370.9.5 changelog 38================ 39 40- `74f29c2` Check pindexBestForkBase for null 41- `9cd1dd9` Fix priority calculation in CreateTransaction 42- `6b4163b` Sanitize command strings before logging them. 43- `3230b32` Raise version of created blocks, and enforce DERSIG in mempool 44- `989d499` Backport of some of BIP66's tests 45- `ab03660` Implement BIP 66 validation rules and switchover logic 46- `8438074` build: fix dynamic boost check when --with-boost= is used 47 48Credits 49-------- 50 51Thanks to who contributed to this release, at least: 52 53- 21E14 54- Alex Morcos 55- Cory Fields 56- Gregory Maxwell 57- Pieter Wuille 58- Wladimir J. van der Laan 59 60As well as everyone that helped translating on [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/). 61
