cli -addrinfo: drop torv2, torv3 becomes onion per GetNetworkName() (Jon Atack) Pull request description: #22050 removed torv2 support from 22.0. For 23.0 and subsequent releases, we can probably remove torv2 from -addrinfo. before ``` "addresses_known": { "ipv4": 58305, "ipv6": 5138, "torv2": 0, "torv3": 5441, "i2p": 14, "total": 68898 } ``` after ``` "addresses_known": { "ipv4": 58305, "ipv6": 5138, "onion": 5441, "i2p": 14, "total": 68898 } ``` Per the naming of `netbase.{h, cpp}::GetNetworkName()`, torv3 becomes onion, which is what is printed in the output of getpeerinfo, getnetworkinfo and getnodeaddresses.

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.

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.
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) inbanlist.dat
is ignored and onlybanlist.json
is considered. Bitcoin Core version 22.x is the only version that can readbanlist.dat
and also write it tobanlist.json
. Ifbanlist.json
already exists, version 22.x will not try to translate thebanlist.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 ofonion
addresses known to the node instead of separatetorv2
andtorv3
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 newtime
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)
