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.

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. + +Compatibility +============== + +Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using +the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported. + +Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not +frequently tested on them. + + +Notable changes +=============== + +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.
