+List of Known Bugs
+##################
+
+Below, you can find a JSON-formatted list of all known security-relevant bugs in the
+Solidity compiler. The file itself is hosted in the `Github repository
+<https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/blob/develop/docs/bugs.json>`_.
+The list stretches back as far as version 0.3.0, bugs known to be present only
+in previous versions are not listed. The JSON file is an array of objects, one for
+each bug, with the following keys:
+
+name
+    Unique name given to the bug
+summary
+    Short description of the bug
+description
+    Detailed description of the bug
+link
+    URL of a website with more detailed information, optional
+introduced
+    The first published compiler version that contained the bug, optional
+fixed
+    The first published compiler version that did not contain the bug anymore
+publish
+    The date at which the bug became known publicly, optional
+severity
+    Severity of the bug: low, medium, high. Takes into account
+    discoverability in contract tests, likelihood of occurrence and
+    potential damage by exploits.
+conditions
+    Conditions that have to be met to trigger the bug. Currently, this
+    is an object that can contain a boolean value ``optimizer``, which
+    means that the optimizer has to be switched on to enable the bug.
+    If no conditions are given, assume that the bug is present.
