Compatibility
17+
==============
18+
19+
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
20+
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later.
21+
22+
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
23+
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you
24+
can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues.
25+
Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
26+
27+
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
28+
frequently tested on them.
29+
30+
Notable changes
31+
===============
32+
33+
miniupnp CVE-2017-8798
34+
----------------------------
35+
36+
Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 2.0.20170509. This fixes an integer signedness error
37+
(present in MiniUPnPc v1.4.20101221 through v2.0) that allows remote attackers
38+
(within the LAN) to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
39+
other impact.
40+
41+
This only affects users that have explicitly enabled UPnP through the GUI
42+
setting or through the `-upnp` option, as since the last UPnP vulnerability
43+
(in Bitcoin Core 0.10.3) it has been disabled by default.
44+
45+
If you use this option, it is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as
46+
possible.
47+
48+
Known Bugs
49+
==========
50+
51+
Since 0.14.0 the approximate transaction fee shown in Bitcoin-Qt when using coin
52+
control and smart fee estimation does not reflect any change in target from the
53+
smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the
54+
default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to
55+
the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog.
56+
57+
