Bitcoin Core version *0.14.3* is now available from:
|
||||
|
||||
<https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.14.3/>
|
||||
|
||||
This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and
|
||||
performance improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
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
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Denial-of-Service vulnerability CVE-2018-17144
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A denial-of-service vulnerability exploitable by miners has been discovered in
|
||||
Bitcoin Core versions 0.14.0 up to 0.16.2. It is recommended to upgrade any of
|
||||
the vulnerable versions to 0.14.3, 0.15.2 or 0.16.3 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.
|
||||
|
||||

How to Upgrade
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
|
||||
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
|
||||
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
|
||||
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
|
||||
|
||||
The first time you run version 0.15.0 or higher, your chainstate database will
|
||||
be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to
|
||||
half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.
|
||||
|
||||
The file format of `fee_estimates.dat` changed in version 0.15.0. Hence, a
|
||||
downgrade from version 0.15 or upgrade to version 0.15 will cause all fee
|
||||
estimates to be discarded.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no
|
||||
automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0. Upgrading
|
||||
directly from 0.7.x and earlier without redownloading the blockchain is not supported.
|
||||
However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Downgrading warning
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The chainstate database for this release is not compatible with previous
|
||||
releases, so if you run 0.15 and then decide to switch back to any
|
||||
older version, you will need to run the old release with the `-reindex-chainstate`
|
||||
option to rebuild the chainstate data structures in the old format.
|
||||
|
||||
If your node has pruning enabled, this will entail re-downloading and
|
||||
processing the entire blockchain.
|
||||
|
||||
Compatibility
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using
|
||||
the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.
|
||||

||||
