Monero GUI wallet updated.
GUI v0.13.0.3 'Beryllium Bullet' released!
Do not forget to update your wallets. The new GUI version is 0.13.0.3
You can download it from https://getmonero.org/downloads/
Upgrading
You ought to perform the following steps:
Download the new binaries (the .zip file (Windows) or the tar.bz2 file (Mac OS X and Linux)) from aforementioned download links.
Extract the new binaries to a new directory / folder of your liking. This is the easiest and recommended way.
Open monero-wallet-gui1. It should automatically load your "old" wallet2.
If you're running a local node, the integrated daemon (monerod) will first have to convert your database to a new version. This may take a few hours and the GUI may show that it's Disconnected. I'd advise to simply let it run and after the database conversion has completed the GUI will connect back to the daemon (monerod).
(1) On Linux you ought to start the GUI with the start-gui.sh script, i.e., ./start-gui.sh
(2) If, for some reason, the GUI doesn't automatically load your old wallet, you can open it as follows:
[1] On the second page of the wizard (first page is language selection) choose Open a wallet from file
[2] Now select your initial / original wallet. Note that, by default, the wallet files are located in Documents\Monero<wallet-name> (Windows), Users/username/Monero/<wallet-name> (Mac OS X), or home/username/Monero/<wallet-name> (Linux).
Lastly, note that a blockchain resync is not needed, i.e., it will simply pick up where it left off. To reiterate, however, a database conversion is required, which may take a few hours and the GUI may show that it's Disconnected from the daemon (monerod).
