v30.0 Release NotesBitcoin Core version v30.0 is now available from: https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-30.0/This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issuesTo receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to: https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/How to UpgradeIf 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 macOS) 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. CompatibilityBitcoin Core is supported and tested on operating systems using the Linux Kernel 3.17+, macOS 13+, and Windows 10+. 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 changesPolicy- The maximum number of potentially executed legacy signature operations in a
single standard transaction is now limited to 2500. Signature operations in all
previous output scripts, in all input scripts, as well as all P2SH redeem
scripts (if there are any) are counted toward the limit. The new limit is
assumed to not affect any known typically formed standard transactions. The
change was done to prepare for a possible BIP54 deployment in the future. (#32521)
- -datacarriersize is increased to 100,000 by default, which effectively uncaps
the limit (as the maximum transaction size limit will be hit first). It can be
overridden with -datacarriersize=83 to revert to the limit enforced in previous
versions. (#32406)
- Multiple data carrier (OP_RETURN) outputs in a transaction are now permitted for
relay and mining. The -datacarriersize limit applies to the aggregate size of
the scriptPubKeys across all such outputs in a transaction, not including the
scriptPubKey size itself. (#32406)
- The minimum block feerate (-blockmintxfee) has been changed to 0.001 satoshi per
vB. It can still be changed using the configuration option. This option can be used
by miners to set a minimum feerate on packages added to block templates. (#33106)
- The default minimum relay feerate (-minrelaytxfee) and incremental relay feerate
(-incrementalrelayfee) have been changed to 0.1 satoshis per vB. They can still
be changed using their respective configuration options, but it is recommended to
change both together if you decide to do so. (#33106)
Other minimum feerates (e.g. the dust feerate, the minimum returned by the fee
estimator, and all feerates used by the wallet) remain unchanged. The mempool minimum
feerate still changes in response to high volume.
Note that unless these lower defaults are widely adopted across the network, transactions
created with lower fee rates are not guaranteed to propagate or confirm. The wallet
feerates remain unchanged; -mintxfee must be changed before attempting to create
transactions with lower feerates using the wallet. (#33106)
P2P and network changes- Opportunistic 1-parent-1-child package relay has been improved to handle
situations when the child already has unconfirmed parent(s) in the mempool.
This means that 1p1c packages can be accepted and propagate, even if they are
connected to broader topologies: multi-parent-1-child (where only 1 parent
requires fee-bumping), grandparent-parent-child (where only parent requires
fee-bumping) etc. (#31385)
- The transaction orphanage, which holds transactions with missing inputs temporarily
while the node attempts to fetch its parents, now has improved Denial of Service protections.
Previously, it enforced a maximum number of unique transactions (default 100,
configurable using -maxorphantx). Now, its limits are as follows: the number of
entries (unique by wtxid and peer), plus each unique transaction's input count divided
by 10, must not exceed 3,000. The total weight of unique transactions must not exceed
404,000 Wu multiplied by the number of peers. (#31829)
- The -maxorphantx option no longer has any effect, since the orphanage no longer
limits the number of unique transactions. Users should remove this configuration
option if they were using it, as the setting will cause an error in future versions
when it is no longer recognized. (#31829)
New bitcoin command- A new bitcoin command line tool has been added to make features more discoverable
and convenient to use. The bitcoin tool just calls other executables and does not
implement any functionality on its own. Specifically bitcoin node is a synonym for
bitcoind, bitcoin gui is a synonym for bitcoin-qt, and bitcoin rpc is a synonym
for bitcoin-cli -named. Other commands and options can be listed with bitcoin help.
The new bitcoin command is an alternative to calling other commands directly, but it
doesn't replace them, and there are no plans to deprecate existing commands. (#31375)
External Signing- Support for external signing on Windows has been re-enabled. (#29868)
IPC Mining Interface- The new bitcoin command does support one new feature: an (experimental) IPC Mining
Interface that allows the node to work with Stratum v2 or other mining client software,
see (#31098). When the node is started with bitcoin -m node -ipcbind=unix it will
listen on a unix socket for IPC client connections, allowing clients to request block
templates and submit mined blocks. The -m option launches a new internal binary
(bitcoin-node instead of bitcoind) and is currently required but will become optional
in the future (with [#33229](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33229)).
- IPC connectivity introduces new dependencies (see multiprocess.md),
which can be turned off with the -DENABLE_IPC=OFF build option if you do not intend
to use IPC. (#31802)
Install changes- The test_bitcoin executable is now installed in libexec/ instead of bin/.
It can still be executed directly, or accessed through the new bitcoin command
as bitcoin test. The libexec/ directory also contains new bitcoin-node and
bitcoin-gui binaries which support IPC features and are called through the
bitcoin tool. In source builds only, test_bitcoin-qt, bench_bitcoin, and
bitcoin-chainstate are also now installed to libexec/ instead of bin/ and
can be accessed through the new bitcoin command. See bitcoin help output for
details. (#31679)
- On Windows, the installer no longer adds a (64-bit) suffix to entries in the
Start Menu (#32132), and it now automatically removes obsolete artifacts during
upgrades (#33422).
Indexes- The implementation of coinstatsindex was changed to prevent an overflow bug that
could already be observed on the default Signet. The new version of the index will
need to be synced from scratch when starting the upgraded node for the first time.
The new version is stored in /indexes/coinstatsindex/ in contrast to the old version
which was stored at /indexes/coinstats/. The old version of the index is not deleted
by the upgraded node in case the user chooses to downgrade their node in the future.
If the user does not plan to downgrade it is safe for them to remove /indexes/coinstats/
from their datadir. A future release of Bitcoin Core may remove the old version of the
index automatically. (#30469)
Logging- Unconditional logging to disk is now rate limited by giving each source location
a quota of 1MiB per hour. Unconditional logging is any logging with a log level
higher than debug, that is info, warning, and error. All logs will be
prefixed with - [/tt] if there is at least one source location that is currently
being suppressed. (#32604)
- When -logsourcelocations is enabled, the log output now contains the entire
function signature instead of just the function name. (#32604)
Updated RPCs- The -paytxfee startup option and the settxfee RPC are now deprecated and
will be removed in Bitcoin Core 31.0. They allowed the user to set a static fee
rate for wallet transactions, which could potentially lead to overpaying or underpaying.
Users should instead rely on fee estimation or specify a fee rate per transaction
using the fee_rate argument in RPCs such as fundrawtransaction, sendtoaddress,
send, sendall, and sendmany. (#31278)
- Any RPC in which one of the parameters is a descriptor will throw an error
if the provided descriptor contains a whitespace at the beginning or the end
of the public key within a fragment - e.g. pk( KEY) or pk(KEY ). (#31603)
- The submitpackage RPC, which allows submissions of child-with-parents
packages, no longer requires that all unconfirmed parents be present. The
package may contain other in-mempool ancestors as well. (#31385)
- The waitfornewblock RPC now takes an optional current_tip argument. It
is also no longer hidden. (#30635)
- The waitforblock and waitforblockheight RPCs are no longer hidden. (#30635)
- The psbtbumpfee and bumpfee RPCs allow a replacement under fullrbf and no
longer require BIP-125 signalling. (#31953)
- Transaction Script validation errors used to return the reason for the error
prefixed by either mandatory-script-verify-flag-failed if it was a consensus
error, or non-mandatory-script-verify-flag (without "-failed") if it was a
standardness error. This has been changed to block-script-verify-flag-failed
and mempool-script-verify-flag-failed for all block and mempool errors
respectively. (#33183)
- The getmininginfo RPC now returns "blockmintxfee" result specifying the value of
-blockmintxfee configuration. (#33189)
- The getmempoolinfo RPC now returns an additional "permitbaremultisig" and
"maxdatacarriersize" field, reflecting the -permitbaremultisig and -datacarriersize
config values. (#29954)
Changes to wallet-related RPCs can be found in the Wallet section below. New RPCs- A new REST API endpoint (/rest/spenttxouts/BLOCKHASH) has been introduced for
efficiently fetching spent transaction outputs using the block's undo data (#32540).
Build SystemUpdated settings- The -maxmempool and -dbcache startup parameters are now capped on 32-bit systems
to 500MB and 1GiB respectively. (#32530)
- The -natpmp option is now set to 1 by default. This means nodes with -listen
enabled (the default) but running behind a firewall, such as a local network router,
will be reachable if the firewall/router supports any of the PCP or NAT-PMP
protocols. (#33004)
- The -upnp setting has now been fully removed. Use -natpmp instead. (#32500)
- Previously, -proxy specified the proxy for all networks (except I2P which
uses -i2psam) and only the Tor proxy could have been specified separately
via -onion. Now, the syntax of -proxy has been extended and it is possible
to specify separately the proxy for IPv4, IPv6, Tor and CJDNS by appending =
followed by the network name, for example -proxy=127.0.0.1:5555=ipv6
configures a proxy only for IPv6. The -proxy option can be used multiple
times to define different proxies for different networks, such as
-proxy=127.0.0.1:4444=ipv4 -proxy=10.0.0.1:6666=ipv6. Later settings
override earlier ones for the same network; this can be used to remove an
earlier all-networks proxy and use direct connections only for a given
network, for example -proxy=127.0.0.1:5555 -proxy=0=cjdns. (#32425)
- The -blockmaxweight startup option has been updated to be debug-only.
It is still available to users, but now hidden from the default -help text
and shown only in -help-debug (#32654).
Changes to GUI or wallet related settings can be found in the GUI or Wallet section below. Wallet- BDB legacy wallets can no longer be created or loaded. They can be migrated
to the new descriptor wallet format. Refer to the migratewallet RPC for more
details.
- The legacy wallet removal drops redundant options in the bitcoin-wallet tool,
such as -withinternalbdb, -legacy, and -descriptors. Moreover, the
legacy-only RPCs addmultisigaddress, dumpprivkey, dumpwallet,
importaddress, importmulti, importprivkey, importpubkey,
importwallet, newkeypool, sethdseed, and upgradewallet, are removed.
(#32944, #28710, #32438, #31250)
- Support has been added for spending TRUC transactions received by the
wallet, as well as creating TRUC transactions. The wallet ensures that
TRUC policy rules are being met. The wallet will throw an error if the
user is trying to spend TRUC utxos with utxos of other versions.
Additionally, the wallet will treat unconfirmed TRUC sibling
transactions as mempool conflicts. The wallet will also ensure that
transactions spending TRUC utxos meet the required size restrictions. (#32896)
- Since descriptor wallets do not allow mixing watchonly and non-watchonly descriptors,
the include_watchonly option (and its variants in naming) are removed from all RPCs
that had it. (#32618)
- The iswatchonly field is removed from any RPCs that returned it. (#32618)
- unloadwallet - Return RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER when both the RPC wallet endpoint
and wallet_name parameters are unspecified. Previously the RPC failed with a JSON
parsing error. (#32845)
- getdescriptoractivity - Mark blockhashes and scanobjects arguments as required,
so the user receives a clear help message when either is missing. As in unloadwallet,
previously the RPC failed with a JSON parsing error. (#32845)
- getwalletinfo - Removes the fields balance, immature_balance and
unconfirmed_balance. (#32721)
- getunconfirmedbalance - Removes this RPC command. You can query the getbalances
RPC and inspect the ["mine"]["untrusted_pending"] entry within the JSON
response. (#32721)
- The following RPCs now contain a version parameter that allows
the user to create transactions of any standard version number (1-3):
- createrawtransaction
- createpsbt
- send
- sendall
- walletcreatefundedpsbt
(#32896)
GUI changes- The GUI has been migrated from Qt 5 to Qt 6. On Windows, dark mode is now supported.
On macOS, the Metal backend is now used. (#30997)
- A transaction's fee bump is allowed under fullrbf and no longer requires
BIP-125 signalling. (#31953)
- Custom column widths in the Transactions tab are reset as a side-effect of legacy
wallet removal. (#32459)
Low-level changes- Logs now include which peer sent us a header. Additionally there are fewer
redundant header log messages. A side-effect of this change is that for
some untypical cases new headers aren't logged anymore, e.g. a direct
BLOCK message with a previously unknown header and submitheader RPC. (#27826)
