Dimecoin 1.9.0.0

Highly recommended upgrade

Upgrade notes:

• Backup your Dimecoin data directory before upgrading (in particular your wallet.dat)
• A database reindex is required the first time Dimecoin 1.9.0.0 runs on an old installation (=< 1.8.0)
  run qt with: dimecoin-qt -reindex
  run daemon with: dimecoind -reindex --daemon
  or click OK on the prompt to rebuild database.
  Note: This can take a moment.
• If you upgrade from 1.9.0-beta, no reindex will happen as database is already at right format. Just backup your wallet.dat.

The code source core was upgraded, which leads to changes that can easily be noticed :

• Internal seeds list updated : more peers connecting
• much faster blockchain syncing
• connection compatibility with all running versions

Dimecoin 1.9.0.0-beta1

• before using, backup your wallet.dat !
• do not use old blockchain files, instead download new bootstrap from wiki, specially uploaded for new version. It means after backing up wallet.dat, you must delete the dimecoin directory, or simply rename it in case you want to reuse v1.8.0 later.
• use new dimecoin.conf file from wiki

You can also sync new blockchain from the beginning if you have new dimecoin.conf (can take about 5 hours)
