This release updates the Bitweb codebase to the Latest Bitcoin 0.31.x branch.

Caution

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR WALLET DATA BEFORE ANY UPDATE. SHUTDOWN WALLET COMPLETELY,
THEN COPY YOUR wallet.dat FILE TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE UPDATING.
IF POSSIBLE — ALWAYS ENCRYPT YOUR WALLET WITH A STRONG PASSWORD!

Caution

Cross-chain migration removed in 31.1
If you are still running a wallet from the old Bitweb chain (pre-30.3), you must migrate using
Bitweb Core 30.3.1
Starting from 31.1, migration code has been removed as part of refactoring.
You MUST download that release first, migrate your wallet, and only then update to newer versions.
If you skip this step and update directly to 31.1+, you will NOT be able to migrate your old wallet.

Migration path:

Old chain wallet  →  Bitweb Core 30.3.1 (migrate)  →  Bitweb Core 31.1

See the 30.3.1 release post for full migration instructions.

Upgrade from 30.3 or 30.3.1

If you are already running Bitweb Core 30.3 or 30.3.1 on the current chain with a migrated
wallet, upgrading to 31.1 is straightforward:

  1. Shut down your node completely.
  2. Back up your wallet.dat to a safe location outside the data directory.
  3. Install Bitweb Core 31.1.
  4. Start the node — it will continue syncing from where it left off.

No rescan or migration is required when upgrading from 30.3.x (assuming your wallet was
already migrated during the 30.3 upgrade).

What's new in 31.1

This release brings all upstream improvements from Bitcoin Core 31.x, including performance
enhancements, P2P networking improvements, and wallet and RPC refinements. See the
release notes
on GitHub for the full changelog.

Troubleshooting

  • Node won't start after upgrade — ensure your wallet was already migrated using 30.3.1.
    If you skipped migration, downgrade to 30.3.1, complete migration, then upgrade again.
  • Balance shows zero after upgrade — run bitweb-cli rescanblockchain to rescan the chain.
  • "walletcrosschain" option not recognized — this option has been removed in 31.1.
    Remove it from bitweb.conf before starting the node.
