+Bitcoin Core version 0.9.2 is now available from:
+
+  https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2/
+
+This is a new minor version release, bringing mostly bug fixes and some minor
+improvements. OpenSSL has been updated because of a security issue (CVE-2014-0224).
+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).
+
+If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run
+0.9.2 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from 
+30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
+
+Downgrading warnings
+--------------------
+
+The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous
+releases, so if you run 0.9.x and then decide to switch back to a
+0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the
+old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of
+unspent transaction outputs).
+
+Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate
+data structures and correct the problem.
+
+Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan
+the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens
+of minutes on a typical machine).
+
+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
