U.Today – The network is set to receive a new update with the Bitcoin Core v27.1rc1 release candidate now available.
In a new tweet, the Bitcoin Core development team announced that the new release candidate, v27.1rc1, is now available for testing.
This marks a significant step forward following the release of version 27.0 in mid-April. Release candidates are test versions for releases. When no critical issues are found, this release candidate will be labeled v27.1.

The release candidate phase is a critical part of this process, allowing developers and users to test the new version in various environments and provide feedback. This collaborative effort ensures that any potential issues are identified and resolved before final release.
As the testing phase progresses, the community is eagerly awaiting the final v27.1 release, anticipating the new features and improvements it will bring to the Bitcoin network.
