It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems. -From Bitcoin Core 22.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.14 are no longer supported. - Notable changes =============== P2P and network changes ----------------------- -- This release removes support for Tor version 2 hidden services in favor of Tor - v3 only, as the Tor network [dropped support for Tor - v2](https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline) with the release of - Tor version 0.4.6. Henceforth, Bitcoin Core ignores Tor v2 addresses; it - neither rumors them over the network to other peers, nor stores them in memory - or to `peers.dat`. (#22050) - -- Added NAT-PMP port mapping support via - [`libnatpmp`](https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/libnatpmp.html). (#18077) - Updated RPCs ------------ -- Due to [BIP 350](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0350.mediawiki) - being implemented, behavior for all RPCs that accept addresses is changed when - a native witness version 1 (or higher) is passed. These now require a Bech32m - encoding instead of a Bech32 one, and Bech32m encoding will be used for such - addresses in RPC output as well. No version 1 addresses should be created - for mainnet until consensus rules are adopted that give them meaning - (e.g. through [BIP 341](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki)). - Once that happens, Bech32m is expected to be used for them, so this shouldn't - affect any production systems, but may be observed on other networks where such - addresses already have meaning (like signet). (#20861) - -- The `getpeerinfo` RPC returns two new boolean fields, `bip152_hb_to` and - `bip152_hb_from`, that respectively indicate whether we selected a peer to be - in compact blocks high-bandwidth mode or whether a peer selected us as a - compact blocks high-bandwidth peer. High-bandwidth peers send new block - announcements via a `cmpctblock` message rather than the usual inv/headers - announcements. See BIP 152 for more details. (#19776) - -- `getpeerinfo` no longer returns the following fields: `addnode`, `banscore`, - and `whitelisted`, which were previously deprecated in 0.21. Instead of - `addnode`, the `connection_type` field returns manual. Instead of - `whitelisted`, the `permissions` field indicates if the peer has special - privileges. The `banscore` field has simply been removed. (#20755) - -- The following RPCs: `gettxout`, `getrawtransaction`, `decoderawtransaction`, - `decodescript`, `gettransaction`, and REST endpoints: `/rest/tx`, - `/rest/getutxos`, `/rest/block` deprecated the following fields (which are no - longer returned in the responses by default): `addresses`, `reqSigs`. - The `-deprecatedrpc=addresses` flag must be passed for these fields to be - included in the RPC response. This flag/option will be available only for this major release, after which - the deprecation will be removed entirely. Note that these fields are attributes of - the `scriptPubKey` object returned in the RPC response. However, in the response - of `decodescript` these fields are top-level attributes, and included again as attributes - of the `scriptPubKey` object. (#20286) - -- When creating a hex-encoded bitcoin transaction using the `bitcoin-tx` utility - with the `-json` option set, the following fields: `addresses`, `reqSigs` are no longer - returned in the tx output of the response. (#20286) - -- The `listbanned` RPC now returns two new numeric fields: `ban_duration` and `time_remaining`. - Respectively, these new fields indicate the duration of a ban and the time remaining until a ban expires, - both in seconds. Additionally, the `ban_created` field is repositioned to come before `banned_until`. (#21602) - -- The `getnodeaddresses` RPC now returns a "network" field indicating the - network type (ipv4, ipv6, onion, or i2p) for each address. (#21594) - -- `getnodeaddresses` now also accepts a "network" argument (ipv4, ipv6, onion, - or i2p) to return only addresses of the specified network. (#21843) - -- The `testmempoolaccept` RPC now accepts multiple transactions (still experimental at the moment, - API may be unstable). This is intended for testing transaction packages with dependency - relationships; it is not recommended for batch-validating independent transactions. In addition to - mempool policy, package policies apply: the list cannot contain more than 25 transactions or have a - total size exceeding 101K virtual bytes, and cannot conflict with (spend the same inputs as) each other or - the mempool, even if it would be a valid BIP125 replace-by-fee. There are some known limitations to - the accuracy of the test accept: it's possible for `testmempoolaccept` to return "allowed"=True for a - group of transactions, but "too-long-mempool-chain" if they are actually submitted. (#20833) - -- `addmultisigaddress` and `createmultisig` now support up to 20 keys for - Segwit addresses.
