Bitcoin Core prepares its third 32.0 release candidate
The facts
Bitcoin Core maintainers merged preparations for 32.0rc3 into the 32.x branch on October 1. Three commits update the version, manual and example configuration. The repository provides a signed tag for this candidate.
What changes for capital
The candidate allows software review before the final release.
The scenarios
If the candidate passes testing, there will be more evidence for a final release. If errors emerge, corrections must be followed; a candidate is not a stable release.
The next signal
Check release notes, issues and the final-release announcement in the official repository.
Verification and limits
A release candidate is neither a final release nor an activation of consensus rules. The scenarios are conditional editorial inferences, not verified facts or forecasts. The cited sources support the facts; the next signal proposes checks still to be made.
