Bitcoin developers are not relenting as a new version of the Bitcoin software goes live.
Despite the sensational performance of the Bitcoin network in recent times, developers are still poised to make the blockchain better than its current status.
In an announcement today, the Bitcoin Core team noted that it had released version 23.0 of the Bitcoin Core software, an upgrade that will bolster the connection speed of the software to the Bitcoin network.
Bitcoin Core 23.0 was released!
It is available from https://t.co/hP6wtyct16
Release mail: https://t.co/4Nmle1Fwcx— Bitcoin Core Project (@bitcoincoreorg) April 25, 2022
It is worth noting that the new Bitcoin Core version has been silently released by the development team and no announcement was made about it.
However, it was after Web 3.0 developer and researcher Zhixiong Pan searched the GitHub repository before he discovered that a new version of the Bitcoin Core software had gone live.
After the discovery, Pan took to Twitter to announce the development, adding that the software has some of the best features.
Some of the Bitcoin Software features included a MacOS ARM build and the Apple Silicon M1 chip.
Pan, tweeted in Mandarin that following the integration of the Apple Silicon M1 chip, Bitcoin Core 23 has become the first of the core software to feature the chip.
“[…] This will likely be the first version of Bitcoin Core to natively support Apple silicon (M1 family) chips,” excerpts from Pan’s tweet read.
1/ Bitcoin 核心客户端悄悄发布了重要更新 23.0 的最终版本（的源代码），简单扫了一下 GitHub Repo，这次好像没有新增什么特别显著的功能，不过还是看到了这么一条：Add macOS ARM build，所以这可能会是首个原生支持 Apple Silicon（M1 家族）芯片的 Bitcoin Core 版本。https://t.co/bkF1DBUV7y
