In the latest update, the use of the Bitcoin library libbitcoinconsensus, which has been in existence for over a decade, is no longer recommended. Additionally, new data formats have been incorporated to facilitate better communication between Bitcoin Core and external applications.

When it comes to connecting blockchain components, BIP324 version 2 is now the go-to choice for transportation. In the event that version 2 encounters issues, the earlier version (v1) will be utilized as a backup solution.

After improving the capabilities of the Bitcoin (BTC) mempool, developers made the decision to discontinue support for external signing on Windows due to security concerns.

Sixty-three individuals who are part of the Bitcoin Core team were responsible for publishing the update. Among them were Hennadii Stepanov, Jameson Lopp, Luke Dashjr, Peter Todd, and Pieter Wuille.

The Bitcoin (BTC) price reached a low of $60,120 during the day, resulting in approximately $70 million worth of liquidations. Over $24 million were wiped out in just the final hour.
