 The first time you run version 0.15.0, 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 0.15.0 or upgrade to version 0.15.0 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.
