Hey guys, I noticed the trusted-keys file in the latest Bitcoin Core versions seems outdated. The changes from earlier versions don't seem to carry over. Why is that? What’s the most recent version with the current Bitcoin Core keys?

Not sure why you think it’s outdated. The master branch is where updates happen first, then they get backported. So the files in release branches are current as of when they branched off from master. There’s no old version being copied over, everything should be fresh at the time of the release.
Oh, got it, my mistake. I didn’t check the master branch closely enough. I see now that the keys there are indeed up-to-date and reflect the previous changes. Thanks for clearing that up!
