release-notes-0.14.2.md
1 Bitcoin Core version 0.14.2 is now available from: 2 3 <https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.14.2/> 4 5 This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and 6 performance improvements, as well as updated translations. 7 8 Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: 9 10 <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues> 11 12 To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to: 13 14 <https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/> 15 16 Compatibility 17 ============== 18 19 Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using 20 the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. 21 22 Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support), 23 No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you 24 can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues. 25 Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker. 26 27 Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not 28 frequently tested on them. 29 30 Notable changes 31 =============== 32 33 miniupnp CVE-2017-8798 34 ---------------------------- 35 36 Bundled 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 39 other impact. 40 41 This only affects users that have explicitly enabled UPnP through the GUI 42 setting 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 45 If you use this option, it is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as 46 possible. 47 48 Known Bugs 49 ========== 50 51 Since 0.14.0 the approximate transaction fee shown in Bitcoin-Qt when using coin 52 control and smart fee estimation does not reflect any change in target from the 53 smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the 54 default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to 55 the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog. 56 57 0.14.2 Change log 58 ================= 59 60 Detailed release notes follow.
