This does not apply when using the `private` parameter, which matches the marker used when descriptor was generated or imported. Newly created wallets use `h`. This change makes it easier to handle descriptor strings manually. - E.g. an RPC call that takes an array of descriptors can now use '["desc": ".../0h/..."]'. - Either `h` or `'` can still be used when providing a descriptor to e.g. `getdescriptorinfo` - or `importdescriptors`.

For legacy wallets the `hdkeypath` field in `getaddressinfo` is unchanged, nor is the serialization format of wallet dumps. (#26076) |
