Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22993: build: set OSX_MIN_VERSION to 10.15 
a43b8e9555 build: set OSX_MIN_VERSION to 10.15 (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  Taken out of #20744, as splitting up some of the build changes was mentioned [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22937#discussion_r707303172).

  This is required to use `std::filesystem` on macOS, as support for it only landed in the libc++.dylib shipped with 10.15. So if we want to move to using `std::filesystem` for `23.0`, this bump is required.

  See also: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-11-release-notes

  > Clang now supports the C++17 \<filesystem\> library for iOS 13, macOS 10.15, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13.

  macOS 10.15 was released in October 2019. macOS OS's seem to have a life of about 3 years, so it's possible that 10.14 will become officially unsupported by the end of 2021 and prior to the release of 23.0.

Raw Blame History

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. "22.0 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.

version Release Notes Draft

Bitcoin Core version version is now available from:

https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-*version*/

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

New RPCs

Build System

Files

  • 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

Updated 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)

Wallet

GUI changes

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 changed.
    • BIP 34 (blockheight in coinbase) from 500 to 2 (#16333)
    • BIP 66 (DERSIG) from 1251 to 102 (#22632)
    • BIP 65 (CLTV) from 1351 to 111 (#21862)
