How to Upgrade

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on macOS) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).

Upgrading directly from very old versions of Bitcoin Core or Knots is possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old wallet versions of Bitcoin Knots are generally supported.

Compatibility

Bitcoin Knots is supported on operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 13+, and Windows 10+. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Knots on unsupported systems.

Known Bugs

In various locations, including the GUI's transaction details dialog and the "vsize" result in many RPC results, transaction virtual sizes may not account for an unusually high number of sigops (ie, as determined by the -bytespersigop policy) or datacarrier penalties (ie, -datacarriercost). This could result in reporting a lower virtual size than is actually used for mempool or mining purposes.

Due to disruption of the shared Bitcoin Transifex repository, this release still does not include updated translations, and Bitcoin Knots may be unable to do so until/unless that is resolved.

Notable changes

A new Dockerfile has been added to the source code release, under the contrib/docker directory. Please read the documentation for details.
