| +Bitcoin Core version 0.13.2 is now available from: | ||
| + | ||
| + <https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.13.2/> | ||

| +This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and | ||
| +performance improvements, as well as updated translations. | ||

| +Compatibility | ||
| +============== | ||
| + | ||
| +Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support), | ||
| +an OS initially released in 2001. 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). | ||
| + | ||
| + | ||
