29+
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.14.3/>
30+
31+
This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and
32+
performance improvements.

Compatibility
43+
==============
44+
45+
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
46+
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later.
47+
48+
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
49+
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you
50+
can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues.
51+
Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
52+
53+
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
54+
frequently tested on them.
55+
56+
Notable changes
57+
===============
58+
59+
Denial-of-Service vulnerability CVE-2018-17144
60+
-------------------------------
61+
62+
A denial-of-service vulnerability exploitable by miners has been discovered in
63+
Bitcoin Core versions 0.14.0 up to 0.16.2. It is recommended to upgrade any of
64+
the vulnerable versions to 0.14.3, 0.15.2 or 0.16.3 as soon as possible.
65+
66+
Known Bugs
67+
==========
68+
69+
Since 0.14.0 the approximate transaction fee shown in Bitcoin-Qt when using coin
70+
control and smart fee estimation does not reflect any change in target from the
71+
smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the
72+
default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to
73+
the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog.
74+
75+

How to Upgrade
43+
==============
44+
45+
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
46+
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
47+
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
48+
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
49+
50+
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or higher, your chainstate database will
51+
be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to
52+
half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.
53+
54+
The file format of `fee_estimates.dat` changed in version 0.15.0. Hence, a
55+
downgrade from version 0.15 or upgrade to version 0.15 will cause all fee
56+
estimates to be discarded.
57+
58+
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
59+
automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading
60+
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported.
61+
However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
62+
63+
Downgrading warning
64+
-------------------
65+
66+
The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous
67+
releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any
68+
older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate`
69+
option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format.
70+
71+
If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and
72+
processing the entire blockchain.
73+
74+
Compatibility
75+
==============
76+
77+
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
78+
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.
79+
80+
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
81+
