This means that not even critical security +updates will be released anymore. Without security updates, using a bitcoin +wallet on a XP machine is irresponsible at least. + +In addition to that, with 0.12.x there have been varied reports of Bitcoin Core +randomly crashing on Windows XP. It is [not clear](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681#issuecomment-217439891) +what the source of these crashes is, but it is likely that upstream +libraries such as Qt are no longer being tested on XP. + +We do not have time nor resources to provide support for an OS that is +end-of-life. From 0.13.0 on, Windows XP is no longer supported. Users are +suggested to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, or install an alternative OS +that is supported. + +No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP, +you can still do so at your own risk, but do not expect it to work: do not +report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker. + +From 0.13.1 onwards OS X 10.7 is no longer supported. 0.13.0 was intended to work on 10.7+, +but severe issues with the libc++ version on 10.7.x keep it from running reliably. +0.13.1 now requires 10.8+, and will communicate that to 10.7 users, rather than crashing unexpectedly. + +Notable changes +=============== + +Change to wallet handling of mempool rejection +----------------------------------------------- + +When a newly created transaction failed to enter the mempool due to +the limits on chains of unconfirmed transactions the sending RPC +calls would return an error. The transaction would still be queued +in the wallet and, once some of the parent transactions were +confirmed, broadcast after the software was restarted. + +This behavior has been changed to return success and to reattempt +mempool insertion at the same time transaction rebroadcast is +attempted, avoiding a need for a restart. + +Transactions in the wallet which cannot be accepted into the mempool +can be abandoned with the previously existing abandontransaction RPC +(or in the GUI via a context menu on the transaction). + + +0.13.2 Change log +================= + +Detailed release notes follow. This overview includes changes that affect +behavior, not code moves, refactors and string updates.

This can reduce the disk usage from over 100GB to +around 2GB. + +Running a node in pruned mode is incompatible with `-txindex` and `-rescan`. It +also disables the RPC `importwallet`. Two RPCs that are available and +potentially helpful, however, are `importprunedfunds` and `removeprunedfunds`. + +To enable block pruning set `prune=N` on the command line or in `bitcoin.conf`, +where `N` is the number of MiB to allot for raw block and undo data. + +A value of `0` disables pruning. The minimal value above `0` is `550`. Your +wallet is as secure with high values as it is with low ones. Higher values +merely ensure that your node will not shut down upon blockchain reorganizations +of more than 2 days - which are unlikely to happen in practice. In future +releases, a higher value may also help the network as a whole because stored +blocks could be served to other nodes. + ### Reduce Traffic Some node operators need to deal with bandwith caps imposed by their ISPs. diff --git a/img/icons/ico_voucher.png b/img/icons/ico_voucher.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..3b97638b Binary files /dev/null and b/img/icons/ico_voucher.png differ diff --git a/img/icons/ico_voucher.svg b/img/icons/ico_voucher.svg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f22a5465 --- /dev/null +++ b/img/icons/ico_voucher.svg @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ + + + + + + + +
