+- The `importmulti` RPC now returns an additional `warnings` field for

+- The `getaddressinfo` RPC now returns an additional `solvable` boolean

+ optional redeemScript, and optional witnessScript in order for the
+ wallet to be able to generate an unsigned input spending funds sent to

+- The `getaddressinfo`, `listunspent`, and `scantxoutset` RPCs now
+ return an additional `desc` field that contains an output descriptor
+ containing all key paths and signing information for the address
+ (except for the private key). The `desc` field is only returned for

+- The `importprivkey` RPC will preserve previously-set labels for
+ addresses or public keys corresponding to the private key being
+ imported. For example, if you imported a watch-only address with the
+ label "cold wallet" in earlier releases of Bitcoin Core, subsequently
+ importing the private key would default to resetting the address's
+ label to the default empty-string label (""). In this release, the
+ previous label of "cold wallet" will be retained. If you optionally
+ specify any label besides the default when calling `importprivkey`,
+ the new label will be applied to the address.
