+Known Bugs
+==========
+
+In various locations, including the GUI's transaction details dialog and the
+`"vsize"` result in many RPC results, transaction virtual sizes may not account
+for an unusually high number of sigops (ie, as determined by the
+`-bytespersigop` policy) or datacarrier penalties (ie, `-datacarriercost`).
+This could result in reporting a lower virtual size than is actually used for
+mempool or mining purposes.
+
+Due to disruption of the shared Bitcoin Transifex repository, this release
+still does not include updated translations, and Bitcoin Knots may be unable
+to do so until/unless that is resolved.
+
 Notable changes
 ===============
 
-### P2P
+- The low severity service degradation vulnerability CVE-2025-46598 has been
+  fixed.
 
-- #32646 p2p: Add witness mutation check inside FillBlock
-- #33296 net: check for empty header before calling FillBlock
-- #33395 net: do not apply whitelist permissions to onion inbounds
+- The default policy for datacarriersize has been increased to allow 83 bytes.
+  While not ideal, some legacy protocols still rely on 83-byte datacarrier
+  outputs, and it is undesirable to risk breaking those as Knots adoption
+  grows. This is expected to be a temporary adjustment until these older
+  applications can be updated to not require extra data, and will be reverted
+  back to 42 in a future version. Users with a preference are encouraged to
+  explicitly set it themselves.
 
-### Mempool
+- Memory pressure detection is no longer enabled by default. It has been found
+  to misbehave in some configurations. If you wish to re-enable it, you can do
+  so with the `-lowmem=<n>` configuration option.
 
-- #33504 mempool: Do not enforce TRUC checks on reorg
+### Consensus
 
-### RPC
+- #32473 Introduce per-txin sighash midstate cache for legacy/p2sh/segwitv0 scripts
 
-- #33446 rpc: fix getblock(header) returns target for tip
+### Policy
 
-### CI
+- Default policy: Increase datacarriersize to 83 bytes
+
+### P2P and network changes
+
+- #33050 net, validation: don't punish peers for consensus-invalid txs
+- #33105 validation: detect witness stripping without re-running Script checks
+- #33738 log,blocks: avoid `GetHash()` work when logging is disabled
+- #33813 Changing the rpcbind argument being ignored to a pop up warning, instead of a debug log
 
-- #32989 ci: Migrate CI to hosted Cirrus Runners
-- #32999 ci: Use APT_LLVM_V in msan task
-- #33099 ci: allow for any libc++ intrumentation & use it for TSAN
-- #33258 ci: use LLVM 21
-- #33364 ci: always use tag for LLVM checkout
+### GUI
 
-### Doc
+- #8501 GUI: MempoolStats: Use min relay fee when mempool has none
+- gui#901 qt: add createwallet and createwalletdescriptor to history filter
 
-- #33484 doc: rpc: fix case typo in `finalizepsbt` help
+### Wallet
 
-### Misc
