 Notable changes
 ===============
 
-Network fork safety enhancements
---------------------------------
-
-A number of changes to the way Bitcoin Core deals with peer connections and invalid blocks
-have been made, as a safety precaution against blockchain forks and misbehaving peers.
-
-- Unrequested blocks with less work than the minimum-chain-work are now no longer processed even
-if they have more work than the tip (a potential issue during IBD where the tip may have low-work).
-This prevents peers wasting the resources of a node. 
-
-- Peers which provide a chain with less work than the minimum-chain-work during IBD will now be disconnected.
-
-- For a given outbound peer, we now check whether their best known block has at least as much work as our tip. If it
-doesn't, and if we still haven't heard about a block with sufficient work after a 20 minute timeout, then we send
-a single getheaders message, and wait 2 more minutes. If after two minutes their best known block has insufficient
-work, we disconnect that peer. We protect 4 of our outbound peers from being disconnected by this logic to prevent
-excessive network topology changes as a result of this algorithm, while still ensuring that we have a reasonable
-number of nodes not known to be on bogus chains.
-
-- Outbound (non-manual) peers that serve us block headers that are already known to be invalid (other than compact
-block announcements, because BIP 152 explicitly permits nodes to relay compact blocks before fully validating them)
-will now be disconnected.
-
-- If the chain tip has not been advanced for over 30 minutes, we now assume the tip may be stale and will try to connect
-to an additional outbound peer. A periodic check ensures that if this extra peer connection is in use, we will disconnect
-the peer that least recently announced a new block.
-
-- The set of all known invalid-themselves blocks (i.e. blocks which we attempted to connect but which were found to be
-invalid) are now tracked and used to check if new headers build on an invalid chain. This ensures that everything that
-descends from an invalid block is marked as such.
-
-
-Miner block size limiting deprecated
-------------------------------------
-
-Though blockmaxweight has been preferred for limiting the size of blocks returned by
-getblocktemplate since 0.13.0, blockmaxsize remained as an option for those who wished
-to limit their block size directly. Using this option resulted in a few UI issues as
-well as non-optimal fee selection and ever-so-slightly worse performance, and has thus
-now been deprecated. Further, the blockmaxsize option is now used only to calculate an
-implied blockmaxweight, instead of limiting block size directly. Any miners who wish
-to limit their blocks by size, instead of by weight, will have to do so manually by
-removing transactions from their block template directly.
-
-
-GUI settings backed up on reset
--------------------------------
-
-The GUI settings will now be written to `guisettings.ini.bak` in the data directory before wiping them when
-the `-resetguisettings` argument is used. This can be used to retroactively troubleshoot issues due to the
-GUI settings.
-
-
-Duplicate wallets disallowed
-----------------------------
-
-Previously, it was possible to open the same wallet twice by manually copying the wallet file, causing
-issues when both were opened simultaneously. It is no longer possible to open copies of the same wallet.
-
-
-Debug `-minimumchainwork` argument added
-----------------------------------------
-
-A hidden debug argument `-minimumchainwork` has been added to allow a custom minimum work value to be used
-when validating a chain.
-
-
-Low-level RPC changes
-----------------------
-
-- The "currentblocksize" value in getmininginfo has been removed.
-
-- `dumpwallet` no longer allows overwriting files. This is a security measure
-  as well as prevents dangerous user mistakes.
-
-- `backupwallet` will now fail when attempting to backup to source file, rather than
-  destroying the wallet.
-
-- `listsinceblock` will now throw an error if an unknown `blockhash` argument
-  value is passed, instead of returning a list of all wallet transactions since
-  the genesis block. The behaviour is unchanged when an empty string is provided.
