	==~~See Also~~==		== 0.97-RC1 ==
			On 20 May 2026 goatpig published pre-release tag 0.97-RC1. The release notes describe it as a testing baseline for modern operating systems, not a plug-and-play production build. Fancy features were deferred to later 0.97 minor versions and to 0.98.<ref name="rc1">[https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/0.97-RC1 BitcoinArmory 0.97-RC1]</ref>

	* ~~[[Thin Client Security]]~~		Release-note highlights include:

			* A new pre-lobby settings manager (wallets / database / core tabs)
			* New LMDB wallet format with migration from older wallets. Old wallets do not load as-is
			* Fully encrypted wallet files (public and private data paths)
			* BIP32 / BIP39 / BIP44 support added in code, without a finished GUI in that RC
			* New signer format plus legacy unsigned-transaction compatibility for 0.96.5-era addresses
			* New database design. DB_BARE default. DB_FULL present but discouraged for day-to-day use. DB_SUPER disabled
			* Windows: standalone test zip build included. Maintainer had not mainnet-tested that zip on the release machine
			* Linux: no package build in that cycle. Source build only
			* macOS: no maintainer Mac and no macOS package in that RC. Contributions invited

			Until a non-RC release is tagged, 0.97-RC1 remains a pre-release for testing.
