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 +=============== + +Testnet4/BIP94 support +----- + +Support for Testnet4 as specified in [BIP94](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0094.mediawiki) +has been added. The network can be selected with the `-testnet4` option and +the section header is also named `[testnet4]`. + +While the intention is to phase out support for Testnet3 in an upcoming +version, support for it is still available via the known options in this +release. (#29775) + +Windows Data Directory +---------------------- + +The default data directory on Windows has been moved from `C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin` +to `C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Bitcoin`. Bitcoin Core will check the existence +of the old directory first and continue to use that directory for backwards +compatibility if it is present. (#27064) + +JSON-RPC 2.0 Support +-------------------- + +The JSON-RPC server now recognizes JSON-RPC 2.0 requests and responds with +strict adherence to the [specification](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification). +See [JSON-RPC-interface.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md#json-rpc-11-vs-20) for details. (#27101) + +JSON-RPC clients may need to be updated to be compatible with the JSON-RPC server. +Please open an issue on GitHub if any compatibility issues are found. + +libbitcoinconsensus Removal +--------------------------- + +The libbitcoin-consensus library was deprecated in 27.0 and is now completely removed. (#29648) + +P2P and Network Changes +----------------------- + +- Previously if Bitcoin Core was listening for P2P connections, either using + default settings or via `bind=addr:port` it would always also bind to + `127.0.0.1:8334` to listen for Tor connections. It was not possible to switch + this off, even if the node didn't use Tor. This has been changed and now + `bind=addr:port` results in binding on `addr:port` only. The default behavior + of binding to `0.0.0.0:8333` and `127.0.0.1:8334` has not been changed. + + If you are using a `bind=...` configuration without `bind=...=onion` and rely + on the previous implied behavior to accept incoming Tor connections at + `127.0.0.1:8334`, you need to now make this explicit by using + `bind=... bind=127.0.0.1:8334=onion`. (#22729) + +- Bitcoin Core will now fail to start up if any of its P2P binds fail, rather + than the previous behaviour where it would only abort startup if all P2P + binds had failed. (#22729) + +- UNIX domain sockets can now be used for proxy connections. Set `-onion` or `-proxy` + to the local socket path with the prefix `unix:` (e.g. `-onion=unix:/home/me/torsocket`). + (#27375) + +- UNIX socket paths are now accepted for `-zmqpubrawblock` and `-zmqpubrawtx` with + the format `-zmqpubrawtx=unix:/path/to/file` (#27679) + +- Additional "in" and "out" flags have been added to `-whitelist` to control whether + permissions apply to inbound connections and/or manual ones (default: inbound only). (#27114) + +- Transactions having a feerate that is too low will be opportunistically paired with + their child transactions and submitted as a package, thus enabling the node to download + 1-parent-1-child packages using the existing transaction relay protocol. Combined with + other mempool policies, this change allows limited "package relay" when a parent transaction + is below the mempool minimum feerate. Topologically Restricted Until Confirmation (TRUC) + parents are additionally allowed to be below the minimum relay feerate (i.e., pay 0 fees). + Use the `submitpackage` RPC to submit packages directly to the node. Warning: this P2P + feature is limited (unlike the `submitpackage` interface, a child with multiple unconfirmed + parents is not supported) and not yet reliable under adversarial conditions. (#28970) + +Mempool Policy Changes +---------------------- + +- Transactions with version number set to 3 are now treated as standard on all networks (#29496), + subject to opt-in Topologically Restricted Until Confirmation (TRUC) transaction policy as + described in [BIP 431](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0431.mediawiki). The + policy includes limits on spending unconfirmed outputs (#28948), eviction of a previous descendant + if a more incentive-compatible one is submitted (#29306), and a maximum transaction size of 10,000vB + (#29873). These restrictions simplify the assessment of incentive compatibility of accepting or + replacing TRUC transactions, thus ensuring any replacements are more profitable for the node and + making fee-bumping more reliable. + +- Pay To Anchor (P2A) is a new standard witness output type for spending, + a newly recognised output template. This allows for key-less anchor + outputs, with compact spending conditions for additional efficiencies on + top of an equivalent `sh(OP_TRUE)` output, in addition to the txid stability + of the spending transaction. + N.B. propagation of this output spending on the network will be limited + until a sufficient number of nodes on the network adopt this upgrade. (#30352) + +- Limited package RBF is now enabled, where the proposed conflicting package would result in + a connected component, aka cluster, of size 2 in the mempool. All clusters being conflicted + against must be of size 2 or lower. (#28984) + +- The default value of the `-mempoolfullrbf` configuration option has been changed from 0 to 1, + i.e. `mempoolfullrbf=1`. (#30493) + +Updated RPCs +------------ + +- The `dumptxoutset` RPC now returns the UTXO set dump in a new and + improved format. Correspondingly, the `loadtxoutset` RPC now expects + this new format in the dumps it tries to load. Dumps with the old + format are no longer supported and need to be recreated using the + new format to be usable. (#29612) + +- AssumeUTXO mainnet parameters have been added for height 840,000. + This means the `loadtxoutset` RPC can now be used on mainnet with + the matching UTXO set from that height. (#28553) + +- The `warnings` field in `getblockchaininfo`, `getmininginfo` and + `getnetworkinfo` now returns all the active node warnings as an array + of strings, instead of a single warning. The current behaviour + can be temporarily restored by running Bitcoin Core with the configuration + option `-deprecatedrpc=warnings`. (#29845) + +- Previously when using the `sendrawtransaction` RPC and specifying outputs + that are already in the UTXO set, an RPC error code of `-27` with the + message "Transaction already in block chain" was returned in response. + The error message has been changed to "Transaction outputs already in utxo set" + to more accurately describe the source of the issue. (#30212) + +- The default mode for the `estimatesmartfee` RPC has been updated from `conservative` to `economical`, + which is expected to reduce over-estimation for many users, particularly if Replace-by-Fee is an option. + For users that require high confidence in their fee estimates at the cost of potentially over-estimating, + the `conservative` mode remains available. (#30275) + +- RPC `scantxoutset` now returns 2 new fields in the "unspents" JSON array: `blockhash` and `confirmations`. + See the scantxoutset help for details. (#30515) + +- RPC `submitpackage` now allows 2 new arguments to be passed: `maxfeerate` and `maxburnamount`. See the + subtmitpackage help for details. (#28950) + +Changes to wallet-related RPCs can be found in the Wallet section below. + +Updated REST APIs +----------------- +- Parameter validation for `/rest/getutxos` has been improved by rejecting + truncated or overly large txids and malformed outpoint indices via raising + an HTTP_BAD_REQUEST "Parse error". These requests were previously handled + silently. (#30482, #30444) + +Build System +------------ + +- GCC 11.1 or later, or Clang 16.0 or later, +are now required to compile Bitcoin Core. (#29091, #30263) + +- The minimum required glibc to run Bitcoin Core is now +2.31. This means that RHEL 8 and Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) +are no-longer supported. (#29987) + +- `--enable-lcov-branch-coverage` has been removed, given +incompatibilities between lcov version 1 & 2. `LCOV_OPTS` +should be used to set any options instead. (#30192) + +Updated Settings +---------------- + +- When running with `-alertnotify`, an alert can now be raised multiple +times instead of just once. Previously, it was only raised when unknown +new consensus rules were activated. Its scope has now been increased to +include all kernel warnings. Specifically, alerts will now also be raised +when an invalid chain with a large amount of work has been detected. +Additional warnings may be added in the future. (#30058) + +Changes to GUI or wallet related settings can be found in the GUI or Wallet section below. + +Wallet +------ + +- The wallet now detects when wallet transactions conflict with the mempool. Mempool-conflicting + transactions can be seen in the `"mempoolconflicts"` field of `gettransaction`. The inputs + of mempool-conflicted transactions can now be respent without manually abandoning the + transactions when the parent transaction is dropped from the mempool, which can cause wallet + balances to appear higher. (#27307) + +- A new `max_tx_weight` option has been added to the RPCs `fundrawtransaction`, `walletcreatefundedpsbt`, and `send`. +It specifies the maximum transaction weight. If the limit is exceeded during funding, the transaction will not be built. +The default value is 4,000,000 WU. (#29523) + +- A new `createwalletdescriptor` RPC allows users to add new automatically generated + descriptors to their wallet. This can be used to upgrade wallets created prior to the + introduction of a new standard descriptor, such as taproot. (#29130) + +- A new RPC `gethdkeys` lists all of the BIP32 HD keys in use by all of the descriptors in the wallet. + These keys can be used in conjunction with `createwalletdescriptor` to create and add single key + descriptors to the wallet for a particular key that the wallet already knows. (#29130) + +- The `sendall` RPC can now spend unconfirmed change and will include additional fees as necessary + for the resulting transaction to bump the unconfirmed transactions' feerates to the specified feerate. (#28979) + +- In RPC `bumpfee`, if a `fee_rate` is specified, the feerate is no longer restricted + to following the wallet's incremental feerate of 5 sat/vb. The feerate must still be + at least the sum of the original fee and the mempool's incremental feerate. (#27969) + +GUI Changes +----------- + +- The "Migrate Wallet" menu allows users to migrate any legacy wallet in their wallet +directory, regardless of the wallets loaded. (gui#824) + +- The "Information" window now displays the maximum mempool size along with the +mempool usage. (gui#825) + +Low-level Changes +================= + +Tests +----- + +- The BIP94 timewarp attack mitigation is now active on the `regtest` network. (#30681) + +- A new `-testdatadir` option has been added to `test_bitcoin` to allow specifying the + location of unit test data directories. (#26564) + +Blockstorage +------------ + +- Block files are now XOR'd by default with a key stored in the blocksdir. +Previous releases of Bitcoin Core or previous external software will not be able to read the blocksdir with a non-zero XOR-key. +Refer to the `-blocksxor` help for more details. (#28052) + +Chainstate +---------- + +- The chainstate database flushes that occur when blocks are pruned will no longer +empty the database cache. The cache will remain populated longer, which significantly +reduces the time for initial block download to complete. (#28280) + +Dependencies +------------ + +- The dependency on Boost.Process has been replaced with cpp-subprocess, which is contained in source. +Builders will no longer need Boost.Process to build with external signer support.
