*The release notes draft is a temporary file that can be added to by anyone. See
[/doc/developer-notes.md#release-notes](/doc/developer-notes.md#release-notes)
for the process.*
*version* Release Notes Draft
===============================
Bitcoin Core version *version* is now available from:
<https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-*version*/>
This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance
improvements, as well as updated translations.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
<https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
How to Upgrade
==============
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
==============
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.15+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
unsupported systems.
Notable changes
===============
P2P and network changes
-----------------------
Updated RPCs
------------
- The `-deprecatedrpc=softforks` configuration option has been removed. The
RPC `getblockchaininfo` no longer returns the `softforks` field, which was
previously deprecated in 23.0. (#23508) Information on soft fork status is
now only available via the `getdeploymentinfo` RPC.
- The `deprecatedrpc=exclude_coinbase` configuration option has been removed.
The `receivedby` RPCs (`listreceivedbyaddress`, `listreceivedbylabel`,
`getreceivedbyaddress` and `getreceivedbylabel`) now always return results
accounting for received coins from coinbase outputs, without an option to
change that behaviour. Excluding coinbases was previously deprecated in 23.0.
(#25171)
- The `deprecatedrpc=fees` configuration option has been removed. The top-level
fee fields `fee`, `modifiedfee`, `ancestorfees` and `descendantfees` are no
longer returned by RPCs `getmempoolentry`, `getrawmempool(verbose=true)`,
`getmempoolancestors(verbose=true)` and `getmempooldescendants(verbose=true)`.
The same fee fields can be accessed through the `fees` object in the result.
The top-level fee fields were previously deprecated in 23.0. (#25204)
Changes to wallet related RPCs can be found in the Wallet section below.
