+Bitcoin Core version 0.9.5 is now available from:
+
+  https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.5/
+
+This is a new minor version release, with the goal of backporting BIP66. There
+are also a few bug fixes and updated translations. Upgrading to this release is
+recommended.
+
+Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
+
+  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
+
+How to Upgrade
+===============
+
+If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
+shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
+installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or
+bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
+
+Notable changes
+================
+
+Mining and relay policy enhancements
+------------------------------------
+
+Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining
+software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use
+libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward.
+If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin
+Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status.
+If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you.
+If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect
+you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66
+achieving its 951/1001 status.
