The Bitcoin Core team has released version 31.1, the latest iteration of the core client that powers the Bitcoin network. The binary can be downloaded from the official Bitcoin Core website at https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-31.1/. The file is signed to verify authenticity.
Detailed release notes, including new features, bug fixes, and security updates, are hosted in the project's GitHub repository. The notes are accessible at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-31.1.md.
Users and node operators are encouraged to update to the new version to benefit from the latest improvements and maintain network security.
Because the release notes are maintained on GitHub, it is advisable to use the deterministic download links provided by the Bitcoin Core site rather than GitHub-hosted assets, which may change.
The Bitcoin community welcomes feedback and bug reports through the project's issue tracker, ensuring continued development and resilience.
