Upgrade Instructions: https://syscoin.readme.io/v4.2.0/docs/syscoin-42-upgrade-guide Basic upgrade instructions below:

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/Syscoin-Qt (on Mac) or syscoind/syscoin-qt (on Linux).

If you are upgrading from a version older than 4.2.0, PLEASE READ: https://syscoin.readme.io/v4.2.1/docs/syscoin-42-upgrade-guide

This should reindex your local node and synchronize with the network from genesis.

Compatibility

Syscoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.12+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not recommended to use Syscoin Core on unsupported systems.

Syscoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as frequently tested on them.

From Syscoin Core 4.1.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.12 are no longer supported. Additionally, Syscoin Core does not yet change appearance when macOS “dark mode” is activated.

Notable changes

  • Multi-Quorum Chainlocks
  • V3 data directory issue
  • QT improvements for MN list

Quorums were not propagating partial CLSIG’s leading to Multi-Quorum Chainlocks to not be established. After working with Dash core developer we fixed some bugs upstream and also updated logic in our Chainlock mechanism to resolve the issue. We must have all masternodes upgrade so we can test the Chainlock mechanism to confirm the fix.

Back in Syscoin 3, data directory was set to use “strSyscoinDataDir” as the the regkey to access custom data directory set by the user for Syscoin QT. In Syscoin 4 we reset to “strDataDir” which caused some problems for those that had custom directories set or users from Syscoin 3.

We also added right-click copy fields for the Masternode list in Syscoin QT.
