The latest version of Bitcoin Core, the reference implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, has been released on GitHub. The update includes new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements, with the most significant change being the allowance of transactions of non-witness size 65 bytes. This update also brings new remote procedure calls (RPCs) that enable on-chain applications to read and write information while working with blockchains. Bitcoin Core serves as the primary software client for interacting with the Bitcoin network, providing infrastructure to validate transactions, maintain the blockchain, and participate in the consensus process.
