Bitcoin Core v26.0 has been officially released

On December 6th, according to official sources, Bitcoin Core v26.0 has been officially released, adding experimental support for the v2 transmission protocol defined in BIP324. In addition, nodes with multiple reachable networks will actively try to establish at least one external connection in each network, which increases the individual resistance of nodes to partition attacks and the network-level resistance to partition attacks. Users no longer need to take active measures to ensure connection to multiple enabled networks. The new version also adds "loadtxoutset", which allows loading UTXO snapshots in the format generated by "dumptxoutset".
