A new release candidate of Bitcoin Core, v32.0rc4, is available for testing.
This is a new major release, and follows v31.1.
Work-in-progress release notes are here: github.com/bitcoin-core/bitc…
Binaries are available here: bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-…

Includes the new getopenrpcinfo RPC (shoutout @willcl_ark). It returns a machine-readable OpenRPC spec of the entire RPC API, useful for generating client code and docs or diffing between releases.
@_jan__b contributed this great testing guide for it again: github.com/bitcoin-core/bitc…
Still amazed that this works github.com/bitcoin-core/guix….

BIP54 would make it so Bitcoin's PoW actually provides tight bounds on worst case resource usage.

I wrote a blog post on the recent exploits in the Bitcoin ecosystem, how Bitcoin Core is holding up, and how I think the community can get ahead of the models:

Hopefully it’ll only take one round of trying closed source “security through obscurity”, to convince everyone that this is (certainly nowadays) mostly pointless/confusing, and undermines the whole “don’t trust, verify” ethos. The way forward is writing robust, open source code.
We've published a blog post on the dangers of what @BtcpayServer, @Core_LN, and probably other maintainers are doing with security at the moment:

Reproducibility matters.

Reproducible builds give you a source code -> binary mapping. Without this, any open source project needs to pick a single “trusted” person to produce binaries; where no one else can even double check that person compiled the source code they claimed to have compiled (given no reproducibility). So even if you don’t trust the contents of a binary, reproducible builds still solve the problem of a project deciding which binary to make available to end users, given its source code.
Would be great to get some more testing on more diverse x86_64 and aarch64 systems here. Already run this on some of my hardware. Solving linux platform portability has been a long standing goal and one of the things that kept me interested in bitcoin development.
I’ve pushed up a new round of -static-pie Bitcoin Core binaries that I’d like to get more testing of! More details on the mailing list: groups.google.com/g/bitcoind…
