+- This release removes support for Tor version 2 hidden services in favor of Tor
+ v3 only, as the Tor network [dropped support for Tor
+ v2](https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline) with the release of
+ Tor version 0.4.6. Henceforth, Bitcoin Core ignores Tor v2 addresses; it
+ neither rumors them over the network to other peers, nor stores them in memory
+ or to `peers.dat`. (#22050)
