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. + +0.14.3 Change log +================= + +Detailed release notes follow.
