Bitcoin Core 32 enters final testing: fees, validation and a vulnerability fix
- —Bitcoin Core 32.0 release candidate shipped Sept. 14, final version expected Oct. 10
- —A second fee estimator for unconfirmed transactions was added, so estimates will fall faster as the network clears
- —A vulnerability dating to version 24.0 was fixed: commands could be executed via a wallet name when walletnotify was enabled
- —Four partially signed transaction commands now default to the PSBT version 2 format
Why it matters: The update lowers transaction costs as the mempool clears and closes a node vulnerability, but does not change the network's consensus rules.
