BTC RPC Explorer v3.4.0: New Widgets, Tools, Bug Fixes & Polish

BTC RPC Explorer is a free and open-source, easy-to-setup and use self-hosted Bitcoin explorer driven by RPC calls to your own Bitcoin node.

"The long overdue BitcoinExplorer v3.4 is here! See the latest code live at BitcoinExplorer.org, and update your local server to enjoy it all!"
"Homepage widget updates include a new Halving countdown (auto-shows ~1yr in advance), hashrate comparison to ATH, median fee for next block, and a holiday celebration banner (if it's a BTC holiday)."
"In the "Block Analysis" tool, now see a list of the top "BTC days destroyed" transactions."
"A curated list of BTC Holidays is available to browse or to query via the API."
"Extended PubKey (xpub) pages now include balances for addresses (if an Electrum server is configured). Expect improvements in this area in the future, but this is a nice start."
"And many more bug fixes and improvements. If you get value from this project, please consider a donation to support continued work on it. Thanks!"
