"header_summary": "Ava Chow announces the release of Bitcoin Core version 28.0, highlighting its new features, bug fixes, performance enhancements, and broader OS compatibility, including Testnet4/BIP94 support and improved wallet functionality. This version introduces significant updates aimed at enhancing network efficiency, wallet management, and system security, with contributions from a diverse group of developers ([Bitcoin Core 28.0 Release](https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-28.0/)).\n\nKeagan McClelland discusses the challenges and solutions related to handling dust outputs in cryptocurrency transactions, emphasizing wallet policy adaptations to improve the user experience and technical efficiency without needing blockchain protocol changes. This conversation underlines the importance of application-level strategies in addressing issues like dust outputs by potentially converting them into additional transaction fees, thereby benefiting both users and miners ([Handling of Dust Outputs in Cryptocurrency Transactions](https://gnusha.org/pi/bitcoindev/CALeFGL0ddgS=qCsunoGwD2j6By4_bQpndX-oKn_wAQse3o+Sxg@mail.gmail.com/T/#m9a9ef4bd1e7a6795ec3c2abc18650a8b0ca2f292)).\n\nAjtowns introduces the integration of Plotly.js for advanced graphing capabilities within Discourse forums, enabling interactive data visualization. This development allows forum users to engage more deeply with data through features like zoom, pan, and hover for details, showcasing the potential for complex visualizations, including geographical data representation ([Plotly.js Integration for Discourse](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/support-for-graphing-data/1180)).\n\nAndyschroder differentiates a new proposal as more suitable for a bLIP rather than an amendment to BOLT specifications, ensuring the optional incorporation of trusted contacts within BOLT12's framework. This distinction emphasizes maintaining the standard functionality for users not adopting the proposal while exploring its potential to enhance BOLT12's features without foundational disruption ([Proposal for BOLT12 Trusted Contacts](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/expanding-on-bolt12/1167/2)).",
"header_summary": "Bitcoin Core version 28.0 has been released, featuring enhancements in Testnet4/BIP94 support, JSON-RPC 2.0, wallet functionality including a `max_tx_weight` option and a `createwalletdescriptor` RPC, alongside improvements in network efficiency and fee estimation. This update, available for download at [bitcoincore.org](https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-28.0/), also brings significant changes such as the removal of the libbitcoin-consensus library, adjustments to P2P and Tor connection handling, and GUI updates aimed at bolstering security, usability, and performance. Notably, it supports upgrades from versions at their end of life for users on Linux Kernel 3.17+, macOS 11.0+, Windows 7 or newer, and most UNIX-like systems, with certain system changes enhancing the initial block download times by optimizing the chainstate database flushing process during block pruning.\n\nIn another development, the integration of Plotly.js within a Discourse theme component marks a significant advancement in embedding interactive data visualizations directly into forums or discussion platforms. This tool enables the creation of detailed XY plots and more complex visualizations, such as great circles on world maps, through simple text markup, facilitating sophisticated data representation without external image generation. The component, detailed at [GitHub](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/support-for-graphing-data/1180) and supported by extensive documentation from [Plotly's official website](https://plotly.com/javascript/), offers features like zoom, pan, and hover information, enhancing user interaction with graphed data. This development underscores the potential of integrating advanced graphing capabilities in enhancing the analytical depth of discussions in online communities.",
