Bitcoin Core 32.0 entered final testing on Sept. 14, when developers tagged v32.0rc1 at commit d0231bb, with a stable release still targeted for Oct. 10 subject to further testing and fixes. The update does not alter Bitcoin consensus rules, but changes node operation, wallet interfaces, fee calculation, networking and performance. Parallel retrieval of previous transaction outputs with eight worker threads produced up to threefold faster initial block downloads in testing. A new fee estimator combines mempool and confirmed-block data, selecting the lower valid estimate so recommendations can decline faster when congestion recedes. The release also fixes two vulnerabilities: a non-Windows wallet-notification flaw that could enable command execution under specific authenticated-user and configuration conditions, and a memory-exhaustion issue in the new HTTP server. Four RPC commands will default to PSBT version 2, while applications can request another supported format.
