Merge #15314: [Doc] update release notes for changes up to cb35f1d 
5d35d4384a Update release notes through to cb35f1d3 (David A. Harding)
9ad5ca17d9 Release notes: integrate detached & rm backports (David A. Harding)

Pull request description:

  Monthly release notes update.  ~~In addition to a few new notes, this removes from the master branch two notes about things that have been backported to the 0.17 branch (though not released yet): `unloadwallet` RPC now being blocking (0.17 has a detached release note for that) and the PSBT doc (0.17 does not have a release note for that; I'll open a PR).~~

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) or
  • bin/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.
