Post by: jubalix on April 27, 2013, 08:39:05 AM
Are there any special requirements when updating to QT 8.1 from 8.0???

or is just click install overwrite

or do you have to delete 0.8 first


I reallly don't want have to down load the block chain again

No need to download the blockchain again and you can simply replace the older version with the newer, same as always... at least for me. Never had an issue. I do keep my blockchain in a non-default directory but as with any app on osx, overwriting just the .app bundle won't have any effect on the app's associated files.

Never a bad idea to backup up your files though. If something does go wrong, it shouldn't but I'm not Nostradamus and that 5 minutes of backing up your blockchain for a quick replace if you do run into some kind of weird problems might just be the best move ever.

Short answer: No need to anything, just replace.
Good answer: Save yourself some time and have a blockchain backup - now might be a good time to start.

Hope that helps even if obvious.

Please try using correct version numbers ;). 0.8.1 is current and the next one will be 0.8.2.
