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 10.15+, 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
Updated RPCs

field, which was previously deprecated in 23.0. (#23508) Information on soft fork status is now only available via thegetdeploymentinfo
RPC. -
The
deprecatedrpc=exclude_coinbase
configuration option has been removed. Thereceivedby
RPCs (listreceivedbyaddress

andgetreceivedbylabel
