Bitcoin Core 0.19.0.1 Released

Note: A bug was found after 0.19.0 was tagged, so it was not released. 0.19.0.1 contains the bug fix as well as everything 0.19.0 has. It is the 0.19 major release. Bitcoin Core version 0.19.0.1 is now available from: https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.19.0.1/ or through BitTorrent: This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to: https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/ How to Upgrade If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux). Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is possible, but might take some time if the datadir needs to be migrated. Old wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported. Compatibility Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems. Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as frequently tested on them. From 0.17.0 onwards, macOS <10.10 is no longer supported. 0.17.0 is built using Qt 5.9.x, which doesn't support versions of macOS older than 10.10. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance when macOS "dark mode" is activated. Users running macOS Catalina may need to "right-click" and then choose "Open" to open the Bitcoin Core .dmg. This is due to new signing requirements imposed by Apple, which the Bitcoin Core project does not yet adhere too.
