16Compatibility
17==============
18
19Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
20the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later.
21
22Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
23No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you
24can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues.
25Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
26
27Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
28frequently tested on them.

30Notable changes
31===============
32
33miniupnp CVE-2017-8798
34----------------------------
35
36Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 2.0.20170509. This fixes an integer signedness error
37(present in MiniUPnPc v1.4.20101221 through v2.0) that allows remote attackers
38(within the LAN) to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
39other impact.
40
41This only affects users that have explicitly enabled UPnP through the GUI
42setting or through the `-upnp` option, as since the last UPnP vulnerability
43(in Bitcoin Core 0.10.3) it has been disabled by default.
44
45If you use this option, it is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as
46possible.

48Known Bugs
49==========
50
51Since 0.14.0 the approximate transaction fee shown in Bitcoin-Qt when using coin
52control and smart fee estimation does not reflect any change in target from the
53smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the
54default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to
55the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog.
