Bitcoin Core 32 is now in release candidate testing, with developers aiming for an Oct. 10 launch, according to a post by Bitcoin News on X cited by ChainCatcher. The update is designed to speed up block validation by reading database data in parallel, though it does not change block production speed. On the wallet side, four wallet commands will default to a newer Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction format, while the legacy format will remain available when needed. The release also includes security fixes. One patch blocks specially crafted wallet names from executing commands on non-Windows nodes. In a separate test, unauthenticated HTTP-related memory growth was reduced sharply, from about 3.2 GB to roughly 3 MB. The version is still under candidate testing, and the stated target date for release is Oct. 10.
