Notable changes =============== +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. + +Low-level RPC changes +---------------------- +- The "currentblocksize" value in getmininginfo has been removed. + Credits ======= |
