Gemfile:
- Upgrade to Jekyll 3.x (3.0.1 tested). This brings several new
features I want to use, most notably *collections* which allows us
to add blog-like collections. I've converted the `_releases` and
`_alerts` pages into collections, although their plugins are
maintained to handle the Download and Active Alert features.
- Upgrade to latest Kramdown.
- Lock Less at 2.4.0. This prevents breaking our Less plugin. Jekyll
3.x provides native support for SCSS, so we may want to switch to
that in time.
- Lock HTML Proofer at 2.1.0. The most recent version was taking
forever to check our pages (I never actually got it to complete).
I'll look into it when I get more time.
Makefile:
- New `make clean` command. Jekyll 3.x by default attempts to do
incremental rebuilds. The new `jekyll clean` command cleans up the
metadata necessary for than so that a full build is performed, and
this new `make clean` command is a wrapper around it so that we
automatically do full rebuilds in the relevant cases. Note: our
plugins aren't fully compatible with the incremental rebuilds, but
I'd like to fix that in the future.
- Remove WEBrick hack to enable previewing with default URL paths (/
instead of /index.html).
- Filter out compliants from Rouge
README.md:
- Now that Alerts (_alerts) are part of a collection, the file names
are no longer parsed for dates, so instructions on adding the date
to the YAML metadata have been added.
_alerts/*:
- Now that alerts are part of a collection, the file names are no
longer parsed to provide dates, so a `date:` field has been added to
the YAML metadata.
_config.yml:
- Some variables renamed per upgrade instructions.
- Switched from old default syntax highlighter Pygments to new default
Rouge. I tried to use Rouge options to keep new output as similar
to old output as possible to making diffing easy, but Rouge adds
extra CSS class info.
- Move `_alerts` and `_releases` into Jekyll 3.x "collections", which
provide the organizational features we were using plugins to
manange. I haven't removed the old plugins because we still use
some of their features (alerts.rb provides active issue and banner
features; releases.rb provides info to Download page)
- _layouts/* can no longer provide default global metadata; that is now
provided in the new `defaults:` section in _config.yml.
_layouts/*:
- Default metadata can no longer be provided in the layout files for
collections, so I've removed it and left a message to see
_config.yml.
_plugins/*:
- Remove filter_for.rb. It's completely broken on Jekyll 3.x because
of changes to Liquid which prevent adding new arguments to the
inherited Liquid::For class. Existing uses of filter_for have been
migrated to built-in for loops prefaced by sorts.
- Remove remove-html-extension.rb: at it said in the comments, this
was a temporary hack to get us to Jekyll 3.0.
_releases/*:
- Rename all the files: prefix a v to the file name so the output html
(e.g. v10.0.0.html) is the same as the source filename (e.g.
v10.0.0.md). This is necessary to migrate them to a Jekyll collection.
- Remove %v from titles: we have to explicitly set the title, like we
used to. Again required for migration to collections.
_templates/events.html & en/rss/events.rss:
- Sort events by date and then loop with regular for loop rather than
filter_for
en/alerts.html & en/rss/alerts.rss:
- Sort alerts by date and then loop with regular for loop rather than
filter_for
en/bitcoin-core/index.md & en/version-history.html & en/rss/releases.rss:
- Sort alerts by date and then loop with regular for loop rather than
filter_for

| 0.9.2.1 | 2014-06-19 | Bitcoin Core version 0.9.2.1 released |
Bitcoin Core version 0.9.2.1 is now available from:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2.1/
This is a new minor version release, bringing mostly bug fixes and some minor improvements. OpenSSL has been updated because of a security issue (CVE-2014-0224). Upgrading to this release is recommended.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
Upgrading and downgrading
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).
If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run 0.9.2.1 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
Downgrading warnings
The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous releases, so if you run 0.9.x and then decide to switch back to a 0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of unspent transaction outputs).
Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate data structures and correct the problem.
Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens of minutes on a typical machine).
Important changes
Gitian OSX build
The deterministic build system that was already used for Windows and Linux builds is now used for OSX as well. Although the resulting executables have been tested quite a bit, there could be possible regressions. Be sure to report these on the Github bug tracker mentioned above.
Compatibility of Linux build
For Linux we now build against Qt 4.6, and filter the symbols for libstdc++ and glibc. This brings back compatibility with
- Debian 6+ / Tails
- Ubuntu 10.04
- CentOS 6.5
