+Bitcoin Core version 0.9.4 is now available from:
+
+ https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.4/
+
+This is a new minor version release, bringing only 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).
+
+OpenSSL Warning
+================
+
+OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k was recently released and is being pushed out by
+various operating system maintainers. Review by Gregory Maxwell determined that
+this update is incompatible with the Bitcoin system and could lead to consensus
+forks.
+
+Bitcoin Core released binaries from https://bitcoin.org are unaffected,
+as are any built with the gitian deterministic build system.
+
+However, if you are running either
+
+- The Ubuntu PPA from https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin
+- A third-party or self-compiled Bitcoin Core
+
+upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.9.4, which includes a workaround, **before** updating
+OpenSSL.
+
+The incompatibility is due to the OpenSSL update changing the
+behavior of ECDSA validation to reject any signature which is
+not encoded in a very rigid manner. This was a result of
+OpenSSL's change for CVE-2014-8275 "Certificate fingerprints
+can be modified".
+
+We are specifically aware of potential hard-forks due to signature
+encoding handling and had been hoping to close them via BIP62 in 0.10.
+BIP62's purpose is to improve transaction malleability handling and
+as a side effect rigidly defines the encoding for signatures, but the
+overall scope of BIP62 has made it take longer than we'd like to
+deploy.
+
+0.9.4 changelog
+================
+
+Validation:
+- `b8e81b7` consensus: guard against openssl's new strict DER checks
+- `60c51f1` fail immediately on an empty signature
+- `037bfef` Improve robustness of DER recoding code
+
+Command-line options:
+- `cd5164a` Make -proxy set all network types, avoiding a connect leak.
