a512925e19a70d7f6b80ac530a169f45ffaafa1c [doc] Release notes (Amiti Uttarwar) 50f94b34a33c954f6e207f509c93d33267a5c3e2 [rpc] Deprecate getpeerinfo addnode field (Amiti Uttarwar) df091b9b509f0b10e4315c0bfa2da0cc0c31c22f [refactor] Rename test file to allow any getpeerinfo deprecations. (Amiti Uttarwar) 395acfa83a5436790c1a722a5609ac9d48df235f [rpc] Add connection type to getpeerinfo RPC, update tests (Amiti Uttarwar) 49c10a9ca40967d28ae16dfea9cccc6f3a6624a1 [log] Add connection type to log statement (Amiti Uttarwar) Pull request description: After #19316, we can more directly expose information about the connection type on the `getpeerinfo` RPC. Doing so also makes the existing addnode field redundant, so this PR begins the process of deprecating this field. This PR also includes one commit that improves a log message, as both use a shared function to return the connection type as a string.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
