|
||
| This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and | ||

|
||
| Compatibility | ||
| ============== | ||
|
|
||
| Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using | ||
| the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. | ||
|
|
||
| Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support), | ||
| No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you | ||
| can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues. | ||
| Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker. | ||
|
|
||
| Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not | ||
| frequently tested on them. | ||
|

||
| Denial-of-Service vulnerability CVE-2018-17144 | ||
| ------------------------------- | ||
|
|
||
| A denial-of-service vulnerability exploitable by miners has been discovered in | ||
| Bitcoin Core versions 0.14.0 up to 0.16.2. It is recommended to upgrade any of | ||
| the vulnerable versions to 0.14.3, 0.15.2 or 0.16.3 as soon as possible. | ||
|
|
||
| Known Bugs | ||
| ========== | ||
|
|
||
| Since 0.14.0 the approximate transaction fee shown in Bitcoin-Qt when using coin | ||
| control and smart fee estimation does not reflect any change in target from the | ||
| smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the | ||
| default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to | ||
| the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog. | ||
|
|

| 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). | ||
|
|
||
| The first time you run version 0.15.0 or higher, your chainstate database will | ||
| be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to | ||
| half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine. | ||
|
|
||
| The file format of `fee_estimates.dat` changed in version 0.15.0. Hence, a | ||
| downgrade from version 0.15 or upgrade to version 0.15 will cause all fee | ||
| estimates to be discarded. | ||
|
|
||
| Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no | ||
| automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading | ||
| directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported. | ||
| However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported. | ||
|
|
||
| Downgrading warning | ||
| ------------------- | ||
|
|
||
| The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous | ||
| releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any | ||
| older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate` | ||
| option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format. | ||
|
|
||
| If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and | ||
| processing the entire blockchain. | ||
|
