What changed, and why it matters
This is a routine maintenance update to Bitcoin Core's continuous integration (CI) system. It changes the version number of the NetBSD operating system used for cross-compilation testing from a release candidate (11.0_RC6) to the final release (11.0), because the older release candidate files are no longer available for download. There is no change to the Bitcoin Core software that users run, and no security issue is present.
No security action required. This is a benign CI maintenance change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit modifies a single CI environment setup script (ci/test/00_setup_env_netbsd_cross.sh), changing the NETBSD_VERSION variable from ‘11.0_RC6’ to ‘11.0’. This is purely an infrastructure update to keep the NetBSD cross-build CI job working after the release candidate archives were removed from cdn.netbsd.org. The change affects only CI build configuration and does not alter any source code, consensus logic, networking, wallet, or cryptographic components.
