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 Mac) +or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux). + +Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is +possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old +wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported. + +Compatibility +============== + +Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems +using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.12+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin +Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as +frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on +unsupported systems. + +From Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.12 are no +longer supported. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance +when macOS "dark mode" is activated. + + +0.21.2 change log +================= + +### P2P protocol and network code + +- #21644 use NetPermissions::HasFlag() in CConnman::Bind() (jonatack) +- #22569 Rate limit the processing of rumoured addresses (sipa) + +### Wallet + +- #21907 Do not iterate a directory if having an error while accessing it (hebasto) + +### RPC + +- #19361 Reset scantxoutset progress before inferring descriptors (prusnak) + +### Build System + +- #21932 depends: update Qt 5.9 source url (kittywhiskers) +- #22017 Update Windows code signing certificate (achow101) +- #22191 Use custom MacOS code signing tool (achow101) +- #22713 Fix build with Boost 1.77.0 (sizeofvoid) + +### Tests and QA + +- #20182 Build with --enable-werror by default, and document exceptions (hebasto) +- #20535 Fix intermittent feature_taproot issue (MarcoFalke) +- #21663 Fix macOS brew install command (hebasto) +- #22279 add missing ECCVerifyHandle to base_encode_decode (apoelstra) +- #22730 Run fuzzer task for the master branch only (hebasto) + +### GUI + +- #277 Do not use QClipboard::Selection on Windows and macOS.
