Bitcoin Core has merged a privacy fix into its 32.x source branch addressing behavior that could correlate private-broadcast connections with ordinary node connections. The backport for 31.x remains open as of Oct. 8, leaving users who enable the feature on the latest stable release, 31.1, awaiting the repair. Private broadcast is disabled by default. The Oct. 1 backport includes the original change, which reached the main development branch on Sept. 25. The separate proposal to bring the fix to 31.x received an approval from reviewer vasild on Oct. 6 and carries a 31.2 milestone.
