Compatibility
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
|
||||
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later.
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
|
||||
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, you
|
||||
can still do so at your own risk but be aware that there are known instabilities and issues.
|
||||
Please do not report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
|
||||
frequently tested on them.
|
||||
|
||||
Notable changes
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
miniupnp CVE-2017-8798
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 2.0.20170509. This fixes an integer signedness error
|
||||
(present in MiniUPnPc v1.4.20101221 through v2.0) that allows remote attackers
|
||||
(within the LAN) to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified
|
||||
other impact.
|
||||
|
||||
This only affects users that have explicitly enabled UPnP through the GUI
|
||||
setting or through the `-upnp` option, as since the last UPnP vulnerability
|
||||
(in Bitcoin Core 0.10.3) it has been disabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use this option, it is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as
|
||||
possible.
|
||||
|
||||
Known Bugs
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
Since 0.14.0 the approximate transaction fee shown in Bitcoin-Qt when using coin
|
||||
control and smart fee estimation does not reflect any change in target from the
|
||||
smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the
|
||||
default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to
|
||||
the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
