Bitcoin Core 32 enters final testing ahead of Oct. 10 release
- —Release candidate v32.0rc1 landed on Sep. 14, with Oct. 10 set as the target for the stable release
- —Parallel database reads shorten block-validation time without changing Bitcoin's block production rate
- —Four wallet commands now default to PSBT version 2, with the older format still supported
- —A security fix cuts memory use from unauthenticated HTTP requests from about 3.2 GB to 3 MB
Why it matters: The release needs no hard fork and only changes node software, but it speeds up Bitcoin infrastructure and tightens its security.
