Bitcoin Core 32.1 Arrives With Privacy Fixes and New Compatibility Checks
Summary
Bitcoin Core 32.1 is the relevant new major release after 32.0 was tagged but not fully released; it includes a fix for a specific private-broadcast IP exposure, changes to transaction relay behavior and interface defaults, and removes deprecated fields unless compatibility options are enabled. Operators should test dependent applications for interface compatibility, verify network and service operation after upgrading, and check wallet recovery considerations before rollback. Releases 31.2 and 30.4 offer maintenance fixes for older branches. These node updates do not require ordinary holders to move their bitcoin.
