+Deprecated or removed RPCs
+--------------------------
 
 - The `signrawtransaction` RPC is removed after being deprecated and
   hidden behind a special configuration option in version 0.17.0.
 
+- The 'account' API is removed after being deprecated in v0.17.  The
+  'label' API was introduced in v0.17 as a replacement for accounts.
+  See the [release notes from v0.17](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.17.0.md#label-and-account-apis-for-wallet)
+  for a full description of the changes from the 'account' API to the
+  'label' API.
+
+- The `addwitnessaddress` RPC is removed after being deprecated in
+  version 0.13.0.
+
+- The wallet's `generate` RPC method is deprecated and will be fully
+  removed in a subsequent major version.  This RPC is only used for
+  testing, but its implementation reached across multiple subsystems
+  (wallet and mining), so it is being deprecated to simplify the
+  wallet-node interface.  Projects that are using `generate` for testing
+  purposes should transition to using the `generatetoaddress` RPC, which
+  does not require or use the wallet component. Calling
+  `generatetoaddress` with an address returned by the `getnewaddress`
+  RPC gives the same functionality as the old `generate` RPC.  To
+  continue using `generate` in this version, restart bitcoind with the
+  `-deprecatedrpc=generate` configuration option.
+
+New RPCs
+--------
+
+- A new `getnodeaddresses` RPC returns peer addresses known to this
+  node. It may be used to find nodes to connect to without using a DNS
+  seeder.
+
+- A new `listwalletdir` RPC returns a list of wallets in the wallet
+  directory (either the default wallet directory or the directory
+  configured by the `-walletdir` parameter).
+
+Updated RPCs
+------------
+
+Note: some low-level RPC changes mainly useful for testing are described
+in the Low-level Changes section below.

 - The `getpeerinfo` RPC now returns an additional "minfeefilter" field
   set to the peer's BIP133 fee filter.  You can use this to detect that
   you have peers that are willing to accept transactions below the

 - The `getaddressinfo` RPC now provides an `ischange` field indicating

+- The `importmulti` RPC has been updated to support P2WSH, P2WPKH,
+  P2SH-P2WPKH, and P2SH-P2WSH. Requests for P2WSH and P2SH-P2WSH accept
+  an additional `witnessscript` parameter.

 - A new `submitheader` RPC allows submitting block headers independently

+Configuration
+-------------
+
+- The `-usehd` configuration option was removed in version 0.16. From
+  that version onwards, all new wallets created are hierarchical
+  deterministic wallets. This release makes specifying `-usehd` an
+  invalid configuration option.
