The underlying software, including Bitcoin Core, evolves in tandem with the advancements in bitcoin technology.
Bitcoin Core, in particular, is built to detect which blockchain contains genuine Bitcoin transactions, and its users are limited to accepting transactions from that blockchain.
Bitcoin Core had released the final version of update 23.0, which includes the addition of a macOS ARM build, according to Zhixiong Pan, a Web3 developer and researcher, in an announcement on April 22. This could be the first update to include native compatibility for Apple Silicon (M1 series), which is the Bitcoin Core chip.
Pan discovered that the Bitcoin Core client had silently published the final version (the source code for the critical update 23.0) after searching the GitHub repository and spotting the inclusion of a macOS ARM build.
“The Bitcoin Core client quietly released the final version (source code of the important update 23.0), briefly scanned the GitHub Repo, this time it seems that there are no particularly significant new features, but I still see this one: Add macOS ARM build, so this will likely be the first version of Bitcoin Core to natively support Apple Silicon (M1 family) chips.”
The compiled version is expected to be released soon, and you’ll be able to test it out with the source code for version 23.0 until then.
Using Bitcoin Core’s half-yearly upgrade cycle, the next version, 24.0 is expected in October.
“According to the half-yearly update frequency of Bitcoin Core, the next version 24.0 is estimated to be around October,” Pan said.
The proposed release schedule for 23.0, the next major release of Bitcoin Core, was scheduled for April back in September 2021.
