A new minor Groestlcoin Core version 2.21.1 is now available for download bringing Taproot Soft Fork changes, so it is recommended to upgrade to it if you are running a full Groestlcoin node or a local Groestlcoin Core wallet.



v2.21.1 is now the official release version of Groestlcoin Core. It is recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.

What's new in version v2.21.1?
This is a minor release of Groestlcoin Core with Taproot Soft Fork changes, featuring the technical equivalent of Bitcoin Core v0.21.1 but with Groestlcoin specific patches. On a general level, most of what is new is that the activation method for taproot is now being managed using a variation of BIP9 versionbits called Speedy Trial (described in BIP341).
