+Bitcoin Core version 0.16.2 is now available from:

+

+
+To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:

+
+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 for older versions), then run the
+installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
+or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
+
+The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database will be converted to a
+new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour,
+depending on the speed of your machine.
+
+Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
+automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0 or higher. Upgrading
+directly from 0.7.x and earlier without re-downloading the blockchain is not supported.
+However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
+
+Downgrading warning
+-------------------
+
+Wallets created in 0.16 and later are not compatible with versions prior to 0.16
+and will not work if you try to use newly created wallets in older versions. Existing
+wallets that were created with older versions are not affected by this.
+
+Compatibility
+==============
+
+Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
+the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.
+
+Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
+frequently tested on them.

+It is possible to run Bitcoin Core as a Tor hidden service, and connect to such services.
The following directions assume you have a Tor proxy running on port 9050. Many distributions default to having a SOCKS proxy listening on port 9050, but others may not. In particular, the Tor Browser Bundle defaults to listening on port 9150. See [Tor Project FAQ:TBBSocksPort](https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#TBBSocksPort) for how to properly
