Despite the significant improvements introduced, older versions such as 0.20.1 and below are now considered &#8216;end of life&#8217; as they are no longer maintained.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/microstrategys-founder-reveals-radical-bitcoin-vision\/\" title=\"MicroStrategy&#8217;s Founder Reveals Radical Bitcoin Vision\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/coin_bitcoin-9-big-1-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">MicroStrategy&#8217;s Founder Reveals Radical Bitcoin Vision<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>The latest disclosure by developers focuses on security vulnerabilities patched over the years, affecting versions prior to Bitcoin Core 0.24.
