test: Activate all regtest softforks at height 1, unless overridden (MarcoFalke)faad1e5ffd
Introduce -testactivationheight=name@height setting (MarcoFalke)fadb2ef2fa

test: Remove unused ~TestChain100Setup (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: All softforks that are active at the tip of mainnet, should also be active from genesis in regtest. Otherwise their rules might not be enforced in user testing, thus making their testing less useful. To still allow tests to check pre-softfork rules, a runtime argument can change the activation height. ACKs for top commit: laanwj: Code review ACKfa4db8671b

*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](/doc/developer-notes.md#release-notes)
|
|
for the process.*
|
|
|
|
*Create the draft, named* "*version* Release Notes Draft"
|
|
*(e.g. "22.0 Release Notes Draft"), as a collaborative wiki in:*

*Before the final release, move the notes back to this git repository.*

*version* Release Notes Draft
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core version *version* is now available from:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance
|
|
improvements, as well as updated translations.
|

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 10.15+, 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.
|
|
|
|
Notable changes
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
P2P and network changes
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- A bitcoind node will no longer rumour addresses to inbound peers by default.
|
|
They will become eligible for address gossip after sending an ADDR, ADDRV2,
|
|
or GETADDR message. (#21528)
|
|
|
|
Updated RPCs

|
|
|
|
* On startup, the list of banned hosts and networks (via `setban` RPC) in
|
|
`banlist.dat` is ignored and only `banlist.json` is considered. Bitcoin Core
|
|
version 22.x is the only version that can read `banlist.dat` and also write
|
|
it to `banlist.json`. If `banlist.json` already exists, version 22.x will not
|
|
try to translate the `banlist.dat` into json. After an upgrade, `listbanned`
|
|
can be used to double check the parsed entries. (#22570)
|

New settings

|
Tools and Utilities
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- Update `-getinfo` to return data in a user-friendly format that also reduces vertical space. (#21832)
|
|
|
|
- CLI `-addrinfo` now returns a single field for the number of `onion` addresses
|
|
known to the node instead of separate `torv2` and `torv3` fields, as support
|
|
for Tor V2 addresses was removed from Bitcoin Core in 22.0. (#22544)
|
|

|

Low-level changes
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
RPC
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
- `getblockchaininfo` now returns a new `time` field, that provides the chain tip time. (#22407)
|
|
|
|
Tests
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
- For the `regtest` network the activation heights of several softforks were
|
|
set to block height 1. They can be changed by the runtime setting
|
|
`-testactivationheight=name@height`. (#22818)
