| 16 | +Compatibility |
| 17 | +============== |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support), |
| 20 | +an OS initially released in 2001. This means that not even critical security |
| 21 | +updates will be released anymore. Without security updates, using a bitcoin |
| 22 | +wallet on a XP machine is irresponsible at least. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +In addition to that, with 0.12.x there have been varied reports of Bitcoin Core |
| 25 | +randomly crashing on Windows XP. It is [not clear](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681#issuecomment-217439891) |
| 26 | +what the source of these crashes is, but it is likely that upstream |
| 27 | +libraries such as Qt are no longer being tested on XP. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +We do not have time nor resources to provide support for an OS that is |
| 30 | +end-of-life. From 0.13.0 on, Windows XP is no longer supported. Users are |
| 31 | +suggested to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, or install an alternative OS |
| 32 | +that is supported. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, |
| 35 | +you can still do so at your own risk, but do not expect it to work: do not |
| 36 | +report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +From 0.13.1 onwards OS X 10.7 is no longer supported. 0.13.0 was intended to work on 10.7+, |
| 39 | +but severe issues with the libc++ version on 10.7.x keep it from running reliably. |
| 40 | +0.13.1 now requires 10.8+, and will communicate that to 10.7 users, rather than crashing unexpectedly. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Notable changes |
| 43 | +=============== |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Change to wallet handling of mempool rejection |
| 46 | +----------------------------------------------- |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +When a newly created transaction failed to enter the mempool due to |
| 49 | +the limits on chains of unconfirmed transactions the sending RPC |
| 50 | +calls would return an error. The transaction would still be queued |
| 51 | +in the wallet and, once some of the parent transactions were |
| 52 | +confirmed, broadcast after the software was restarted. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +This behavior has been changed to return success and to reattempt |
| 55 | +mempool insertion at the same time transaction rebroadcast is |
| 56 | +attempted, avoiding a need for a restart. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Transactions in the wallet which cannot be accepted into the mempool |
| 59 | +can be abandoned with the previously existing abandontransaction RPC |
| 60 | +(or in the GUI via a context menu on the transaction). |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | + |
