 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.

 33  Denial-of-Service vulnerability CVE-2018-17144
 34   -------------------------------
 35  
 36  A denial-of-service vulnerability exploitable by miners has been discovered in
 37  Bitcoin Core versions 0.14.0 up to 0.16.2. It is recommended to upgrade any of
 38  the vulnerable versions to 0.14.3, 0.15.2 or 0.16.3 as soon as possible.
 39  
 40  Known Bugs
 41  ==========
 42  
 43  Since 0.14.0 the approximate transaction fee shown in Bitcoin-Qt when using coin
 44  control and smart fee estimation does not reflect any change in target from the
 45  smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the
 46  default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to
 47  the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog.
