+
+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.
