   Umbrella issue for 32.0 testing. Please help testing on a wide variety of supported platforms, as well as interaction with different software.

   Let us know which version you tested on which operating system.

   If you find an issue, please search Github for known issues first and then open a new Github issue.

   This meta issue should not be used to report bugs, as a single thread makes it impossible to track more than one topic.

   See 32.0 Release Notes Draft for a list of changes.

   See here for the testing guide: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/32.0-Release-Candidate-Testing-Guide

   Did some light testing on NixOS with various other software connected. Opened #36334 to discuss some new frequently-hit log lines with electrs.

   Have not run through the testing guide (yet).

   EDIT: never mind, had an old(er) node running that didn't properly stopped.

   ~While working on the testing guide I discovered that the getopenrpcinfo command returns the wrong version (in the info field) :~

   bcli32 --version
   Bitcoin Core RPC client version v32.0rc2

   Seems correct for me running the release binaries on aarch64 linux:

   $ ./bitcoin-cli -version
   Bitcoin Core RPC client version v32.0.0rc2
   ...
   $ ./bitcoin-cli getopenrpcinfo | jq .info
   {
     "title": "Bitcoin Core JSON-RPC",
     "version": "v32.0.0rc2",
     "description": "Autogenerated from Bitcoin Core RPC metadata."
   }
   

   Is this running the release binaries? And on which platform?

   Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, using x86_64 linux precompiled binaries. the guide's tests passed, including the advanced REST test, which returned the curl exit code 56 as expected.
