-Important changes
-==================
-
-Gitian OSX build
------------------
-
-The deterministic build system that was already used for Windows and Linux
-builds is now used for OSX as well. Although the resulting executables have
-been tested quite a bit, there could be possible regressions. Be sure to report
-these on the Github bug tracker mentioned above.
-
-Compatibility of Linux build
------------------------------
-
-For Linux we now build against Qt 4.6, and filter the symbols for libstdc++ and glibc.
-This brings back compatibility with
-
-- Debian 6+ / Tails
-- Ubuntu 10.04
-- CentOS 6.5
