[Bitcoin Core version 0.14.2 is now available](https://bitcoin.org/en/download).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and
|
||||||
|
performance improvements, as well as updated translations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please report bugs using the [issue tracker on GitHub](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues).

|
|
||||||
|
## 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](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
