After branching off for a major version release of Bitcoin Core, use this template to create the initial release notes draft.
The release notes draft is a temporary file that can be added to by anyone. See /doc/developer-notes.md#release-notes for the process.
Create the draft, named "version Release Notes Draft" (e.g. "0.20.0 Release Notes Draft"), as a collaborative wiki in:
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/
Before the final release, move the notes back to this git repository.

How to Upgrade
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt
(on Mac)
or bitcoind
/bitcoin-qt
(on Linux).
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
Compatibility
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.14+, and Windows 7 and newer. 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.
From Bitcoin Core 22.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.14 are no longer supported.
Notable changes
P2P and network changes
Updated RPCs
getpeerinfo
no longer returns the following fields:addnode
,banscore
, andwhitelisted
, which were previously deprecated in 0.21. Instead ofaddnode
, theconnection_type
field returns manual. Instead ofwhitelisted
, thepermissions
field indicates if the peer has special privileges. Thebanscore
field has simply been removed. (#20755)
