Downgrade warning
Because release 1.0+ and later makes use of headers-first synchronization and
parallel block download (see further), the block files and databases are not
backward-compatible with pre-1.0 versions of Widecoin Core or other software:
-
Blocks will be stored on disk out of order (in the order they are
received, really), which makes it incompatible with some tools or
other programs. Reindexing using earlier versions will also not work
anymore as a result of this. -
The block index database will now hold headers for which no block is
stored on disk, which earlier versions won't support.
If you want to be able to downgrade smoothly, make a backup of your entire data
directory. Without this, your node will need to start syncing (or importing from
bootstrap.dat) anew afterward.
This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility.
