+Bitcoin Core version 0.13.2 is now available from:
+
+ <https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.13.2/>
+
+This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and
+performance improvements, as well as updated translations.
+
+Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
+
+ <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>

+Compatibility
+==============
+
+Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
+an OS initially released in 2001. This means that not even critical security
+updates will be released anymore. Without security updates, using a bitcoin
+wallet on a XP machine is irresponsible at least.
+
+In addition to that, with 0.12.x there have been varied reports of Bitcoin Core
+randomly crashing on Windows XP. It is [not clear](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681#issuecomment-217439891)
+what the source of these crashes is, but it is likely that upstream
+libraries such as Qt are no longer being tested on XP.
+
+We do not have time nor resources to provide support for an OS that is
+end-of-life. From 0.13.0 on, Windows XP is no longer supported. Users are
+suggested to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, or install an alternative OS
+that is supported.
+
+No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP,
+you can still do so at your own risk, but do not expect it to work: do not
+report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
+
+From 0.13.1 onwards OS X 10.7 is no longer supported. 0.13.0 was intended to work on 10.7+,
+but severe issues with the libc++ version on 10.7.x keep it from running reliably.
+0.13.1 now requires 10.8+, and will communicate that to 10.7 users, rather than crashing unexpectedly.
+
+Notable changes
+===============
+
+Change to wallet handling of mempool rejection
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+When a newly created transaction failed to enter the mempool due to
+the limits on chains of unconfirmed transactions the sending RPC
+calls would return an error. The transaction would still be queued
+in the wallet and, once some of the parent transactions were
+confirmed, broadcast after the software was restarted.
+
+This behavior has been changed to return success and to reattempt
+mempool insertion at the same time transaction rebroadcast is
+attempted, avoiding a need for a restart.
+
+Transactions in the wallet which cannot be accepted into the mempool
+can be abandoned with the previously existing abandontransaction RPC
+(or in the GUI via a context menu on the transaction).
+
