11  How to Upgrade
12  --------------
13  
14  If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait
15  until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older
16  versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over
17  /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
18  
19  If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you
20  run 0.8.5 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take
21  anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of
22  your machine.

24  0.8.5 Release notes
25  ===================
26  
27  Bugs fixed
28  ----------
29  
30  Transactions with version numbers larger than 0x7fffffff were
31  incorrectly being relayed and included in blocks.
32  
33  Blocks containing transactions with version numbers larger
34  than 0x7fffffff caused the code that checks for LevelDB database
35  inconsistencies at startup to erroneously report database
36  corruption and suggest that you reindex your database.
37  
38  This release also contains a non-critical fix to the code that
39  enforces BIP 34 (block height in the coinbase transaction).
