| 16 | +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 | + |
