+Notable changes since 0.10.3
+============================
 
-Fix buffer overflow in bundled upnp
-------------------------------------
+BIP65 soft fork to enforce OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcode
+--------------------------------------------------------
 
-Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 1.9.20151008. This fixes a buffer overflow in
-the XML parser during initial network discovery.
+This release includes several changes related to the [BIP65][] soft fork
+which redefines the existing OP_NOP2 opcode as OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY
+(CLTV) so that a transaction output can be made unspendable until a
+specified point in the future.
 
-Details can be found here: http://talosintel.com/reports/TALOS-2015-0035/
+1. This release will only relay and mine transactions spending a CLTV
+   output if they comply with the BIP65 rules as provided in code.
 
-This applies to the distributed executables only, not when building from source or
-using distribution provided packages.
+2. This release will produce version 4 blocks by default. Please see the
+   *notice to miners* below.
 
-Additionally, upnp has been disabled by default. This may result in a lower
-number of reachable nodes on IPv4, however this prevents future libupnpc
-vulnerabilities from being a structural risk to the network
-(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6795).
+3. Once 951 out of a sequence of 1,001 blocks on the local node's best block
+   chain contain version 4 (or higher) blocks, this release will no
+   longer accept new version 3 blocks and it will only accept version 4
+   blocks if they comply with the BIP65 rules for CLTV.
 
-Test for LowS signatures before relaying
------------------------------------------
+For more information about the soft-forking change, please see
+<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6351>
 
-Make the node require the canonical 'low-s' encoding for ECDSA signatures when
-relaying or mining.  This removes a nuisance malleability vector.
+Graphs showing the progress towards block version 4 adoption may be
+found at the URLs below:
 
-Consensus behavior is unchanged.
+- Block versions over the last 50,000 blocks as progress towards BIP65
+  consensus enforcement: <http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-50k.png>
 
-If widely deployed this change would eliminate the last remaining known vector
-for nuisance malleability on SIGHASH_ALL P2PKH transactions. On the down-side
-it will block most transactions made by sufficiently out of date software.
+- Block versions over the last 2,000 blocks showing the days to the
+  earliest possible BIP65 consensus-enforced block: <http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver-2k.png>
 
-Unlike the other avenues to change txids on transactions this
-one was randomly violated by all deployed bitcoin software prior to
-its discovery. So, while other malleability vectors where made
-non-standard as soon as they were discovered, this one has remained
-permitted. Even BIP62 did not propose applying this rule to
-old version transactions, but conforming implementations have become
-much more common since BIP62 was initially written.
+**Notice to miners:** Bitcoin Core’s block templates are now for
+version 4 blocks only, and any mining software relying on its
+getblocktemplate must be updated in parallel to use libblkmaker either
+version FIXME or any version from FIXME onward.
 
-Bitcoin Core has produced compatible signatures since a28fb70e in
-September 2013, but this didn't make it into a release until 0.9
-in March 2014; Bitcoinj has done so for a similar span of time.
-Bitcoinjs and electrum have been more recently updated.
+- If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade
+  Bitcoin Core, which must be done prior to BIP65 achieving its 951/1001
+  status.
 
-This does not replace the need for BIP62 or similar, as miners can
-still cooperate to break transactions.  Nor does it replace the
-need for wallet software to handle malleability sanely[1]. This
-only eliminates the cheap and irritating DOS attack.
+- If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not
+  affect you.

+- If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this
+  will affect you at the pool operator’s discretion, which must be no
+  later than BIP65 achieving its 951/1001 status.
 
-Minimum relay fee default increase
------------------------------------
+[BIP65]: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0065.mediawiki
 
-The default for the `-minrelaytxfee` setting has been increased from `0.00001`
-to `0.00005`.
+Windows bug fix for corrupted UTXO database on unclean shutdowns
+----------------------------------------------------------------
 
-This is necessitated by the current transaction flooding, causing
-outrageous memory usage on nodes due to the mempool ballooning. This is a
-temporary measure, bridging the time until a dynamic method for determining
-this fee is merged (which will be in 0.12).
+Several Windows users reported that they often need to reindex the
+entire blockchain after an unclean shutdown of Bitcoin Core on Windows
+(or an unclean shutdown of Windows itself). Although unclean shutdowns
+remain unsafe, this release no longer relies on memory-mapped files for
+the UTXO database, which significantly reduced the frequency of unclean
+shutdowns leading to required reindexes during testing.
