whether initial broadcast of the transaction has been acknowledged by a

+- The `bumpfee`, `fundrawtransaction`, `sendmany`, `sendtoaddress`, and `walletcreatefundedpsbt`
+RPC commands have been updated to include two new fee estimation methods "BTC/kB" and "sat/B".
+The target is the fee expressed explicitly in the given form. Note that use of this feature
+will trigger BIP 125 (replace-by-fee) opt-in. (#11413)

+- In addition, the `estimate_mode` parameter is now case insensitive for all of

+- The `bumpfee` command now uses `conf_target` rather than `confTarget` in the

+- `getpeerinfo` no longer returns the `banscore` field unless the configuration
+ option `-deprecatedrpc=banscore` is used. The `banscore` field will be fully
+ removed in the next major release. (#19469)
+
+- The `walletcreatefundedpsbt` RPC call will now fail with
+ `Insufficient funds` when inputs are manually selected but are not enough to cover
+ the outputs and fee. Additional inputs can automatically be added through the
+ new `add_inputs` option. (#16377)
+
+- The `fundrawtransaction` RPC now supports `add_inputs` option that when `false`
+ prevents adding more inputs if necessary and consequently the RPC fails.

+- Backwards compatibility has been dropped for two `getaddressinfo` RPC

+ 0.20, the `labels` field returns a JSON array of label names. (#19200)
