 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.

 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.

 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.
