| 36 | +28.2 Release Notes |
| 37 | +===================== |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Bitcoin Core version 28.2 is now available from: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + <https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-28.2/> |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance |
| 44 | +improvements, as well as updated translations. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub: |

| 53 | + |
| 54 | +How to Upgrade |
| 55 | +============== |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely |
| 58 | +shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the |
| 59 | +installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS) |
| 60 | +or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux). |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is |
| 63 | +possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old |
| 64 | +wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Compatibility |
| 67 | +============== |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems |
| 70 | +using the Linux Kernel 3.17+, macOS 11.0+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin |
| 71 | +Core should also work on most other UNIX-like systems but is not as |
| 72 | +frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on |
| 73 | +unsupported systems. |
| 74 | + |
