Compatibility
Riecoin Core is supported and tested on recent Debian based Linux distributions and Windows 11 25H2. It should also work on most other Unix-like systems, but is not as much tested on them, and full functionality on unsupported systems is not guaranteed.
It is always recommended to upgrade as soon as possible to the newest Riecoin Core version. Upgrading from versions older than the previous one is in most cases possible, but the larger the version difference is, the more difficult, risky, and less supported the upgrade will be. You are responsible for following the latest Riecoin news and upgrading regularly.
How to Upgrade
From 2507/2511
The upgrade from 2507/2511 is straightforward for the vast majority of Riecoin Users.
- Make a backup of all your wallets just in case and keep a copy of your current Riecoin Core binaries until you are certain that the upgrade went well.
- If an older version is still running, shut it down, wait until it has completely shut down.
- Depending on your platform and preference, run the installer again or replace binaries such as riecoind or riecoin-qt by the newer ones.
