Release status

Bitcoin Core 31.2 was officially released and made available on October 28, 2026. Users checking for the newest available software should note that the project now identifies version 32.1 as the latest release.

The distinction matters when reviewing older release notes or comparing maintenance updates. Version 31.2 remains part of the project’s release history, but it has been superseded.

Context from previous Core updates

Bitcoin Core releases commonly document targeted maintenance work and technical changes for node operators and developers. Earlier coverage included the Bitcoin Core 30.3 release with bug fixes.

Separate disclosures have also addressed specific software issues, including an undo-file overflow vulnerability affecting extreme storage conditions. Those reports concern distinct matters from the 31.2 release announcement.
