+29.1 Release Notes
+=====================
+Bitcoin Core version 29.1 is now available from:
+
+  <https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-29.1/>
+
+This release includes various bug fixes and performance
+improvements, as well as updated translations.
+
+Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
+
+  <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
+
+To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
+
+  <https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
+
+How to Upgrade
+==============
+
+If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
+shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the
+installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS)
+or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
+
+Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
+possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
+wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
+
+Compatibility
+==============
+
+Bitcoin Core is supported and tested on operating systems using the
+Linux Kernel 3.17+, macOS 13+, and Windows 10+. Bitcoin
+Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
+frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
+unsupported systems.
+
+Notable changes
+===============
+
+### Mempool Policy
+
+- The maximum number of potentially executed legacy signature operations in a
+  single standard transaction is now limited to 2500. Signature operations in all
+  previous output scripts, in all input scripts, as well as all P2SH redeem
+  scripts (if there are any) are counted toward the limit. The new limit is
+  assumed to not affect any known typically formed standard transactions. The
+  change was done to prepare for a possible BIP54 deployment in the future.
+
+- #32521 policy: make pathological transactions packed with legacy sigops non-standard
+
+- The minimum block feerate (`-blockmintxfee`) has been changed to 1 satoshi per kvB. It can still be changed using the
+configuration option.
+
+- The default minimum relay feerate (`-minrelaytxfee`) and incremental relay feerate (`-incrementalrelayfee`) have been
+changed to 100 satoshis per kvB. They can still be changed using their respective configuration options, but it is
+recommended to change both together if you decide to do so.
+  - Other minimum feerates (e.g. the dust feerate, the minimum returned by the fee estimator, and all feerates used by
+  the wallet) remain unchanged. The mempool minimum feerate still changes in response to high volume.
+  - Note that unless these lower defaults are widely adopted across the network, transactions created with lower fee
+  rates are not guaranteed to propagate or confirm. The wallet feerates remain unchanged; `-mintxfee` must be changed
+  before attempting to create transactions with lower feerates using the wallet.
+
+- #33106 policy: lower the default blockmintxfee, incrementalrelayfee, minrelaytxfee
+
+### Logging
+
+Unconditional logging to disk is now rate limited by giving each source location
+a quota of 1MiB per hour. Unconditional logging is any logging with a log level
+higher than debug, that is `info`, `warning`, and `error`. All logs will be
+prefixed with `[*]` if there is at least one source location that is currently
+being suppressed. (#32604)
+
+When `-logsourcelocations` is enabled, the log output now contains the entire
+function signature instead of just the function name. (#32604)
+
+### RPC
+
+- The `dumptxoutset` RPC now requires a `type` parameter to be specified. To maintain pre
+  v29.0 behavior, use the `latest` parameter. Documenting this change was missed in the v29.0
+  release notes. (#30808)
+
+### Updated Settings
+
+- The `-maxmempool` and `-dbcache` startup parameters are now capped on
+  32-bit systems to 500MB and 1GiB respectively.
+
+- #32530 node: cap -maxmempool and -dbcache values for 32-bit
