Masternodes will need to be restarted once both the masternode daemon and the controller wallet have been upgraded.
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/Limitless-Qt (on Mac) or limitlessd/limitless-qt (on Linux).
Compatibility
Limitless Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and later.
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on April 8th, 2014, No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues. Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
Apple released it's last Mountain Lion update August 13, 2015, and officially ended support on December 14, 2015. Limitless Core software starting with v3.0.0 will no longer run on macOS versions prior to Yosemite (10.10). Please do not report issues about macOS versions prior to Yosemite to the issue tracker.
Limitless Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems and is frequently tested on Arch Linux, Fedora and Ubuntu.
Cloud Bootstrap
The wallet now supports fast bootstrap from the latest blockchain snapshot in the cloud or from file. The default is to run bootstrap from the cloud, obviously user need to trust our domain for valid blockchain bootstrap archive. However user can still deselect it and run regular P2P blockchain sync.
You can also run the bootstrap from within the wallet under Tools -> Blockchain Bootstrap. Also it is possible to bootstrap the blockchain via -bootstrap parameter, useful for limitlessd running as daemon.
It is also possible to pass a bootstrap.zip archive on command line via -bootstrap=, created by the user. This file must include the following folders from a synchronized wallet:
blocks
chainstate
zerocoin
