-*version* Release Notes Draft
-===============================
-
-Bitcoin Core version *version* is now available from:
-
-  <https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-*version*/>
-
-This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance
-improvements, as well as updated translations.
-
-Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
-
-  <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
-
-To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:

-  <https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
-
-How to Upgrade
-==============
-
-If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
-shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
-installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
-or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
-
-Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
-possible, but it might take some time if the datadir needs to be migrated. Old
-wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
-
-Compatibility
-==============
-
-Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using
-the Linux kernel, macOS 10.12+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not recommended
-to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
-
-Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
-as frequently tested on them.
-
-From Bitcoin Core 0.20.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.12 are no
-longer supported. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance
-when macOS "dark mode" is activated.
-
-In addition to previously supported CPU platforms, this release's pre-compiled
-distribution provides binaries for the RISC-V platform.
-
-Notable changes
-===============
-
-P2P and network changes
------------------------
-
-#### Removal of reject network messages from Bitcoin Core (BIP61)
-
-The command line option to enable BIP61 (`-enablebip61`) has been removed.
-
-This feature has been disabled by default since Bitcoin Core version 0.18.0.
-Nodes on the network can not generally be trusted to send valid ("reject")
-messages, so this should only ever be used when connected to a trusted node.
-Please use the recommended alternatives if you rely on this deprecated feature:
-
-* Testing or debugging of implementations of the Bitcoin P2P network protocol
-  should be done by inspecting the log messages that are produced by a recent
-  version of Bitcoin Core. Bitcoin Core logs debug messages
-  (`-debug=<category>`) to a stream (`-printtoconsole`) or to a file
-  (`-debuglogfile=<debug.log>`).
-
-* Testing the validity of a block can be achieved by specific RPCs:
-  - `submitblock`
-  - `getblocktemplate` with `'mode'` set to `'proposal'` for blocks with
-    potentially invalid POW
-
-* Testing the validity of a transaction can be achieved by specific RPCs:
-  - `sendrawtransaction`
-  - `testmempoolaccept`
-
-* Wallets should not use the absence of "reject" messages to indicate a
-  transaction has propagated the network, nor should wallets use "reject"
-  messages to set transaction fees. Wallets should rather use fee estimation
-  to determine transaction fees and set replace-by-fee if desired. Thus, they
-  could wait until the transaction has confirmed (taking into account the fee
-  target they set (compare the RPC `estimatesmartfee`)) or listen for the
-  transaction announcement by other network peers to check for propagation.
-
-The removal of BIP61 REJECT message support also has the following minor RPC
-and logging implications:
-
-* `testmempoolaccept` and `sendrawtransaction` no longer return the P2P REJECT
-  code when a transaction is not accepted to the mempool. They still return the
-  verbal reject reason.
-
-* Log messages that previously reported the REJECT code when a transaction was
-  not accepted to the mempool now no longer report the REJECT code. The reason
-  for rejection is still reported.
-
-Updated RPCs
-------------
-
-- `testmempoolaccept` and `sendrawtransaction` no longer return the P2P REJECT
-  code when a transaction is not accepted to the mempool. See the Section
-  _Removal of reject network messages from Bitcoin Core (BIP61)_ for details on
-  the removal of BIP61 REJECT message support.
-
-- A new descriptor type `sortedmulti(...)` has been added to support multisig scripts where the public keys are sorted lexicographically in the resulting script.
-
-- `walletprocesspsbt` and `walletcreatefundedpsbt` now include BIP 32 derivation paths by default for public keys if we know them. This can be disabled by setting `bip32derivs` to `false`.
-
-Build System
-------------
-
-- OpenSSL is no longer used by Bitcoin Core. The last usage of the library
-was removed in #17265.
-
-- glibc 2.17 or greater is now required to run the release binaries. This
-retains compatibility with RHEL 7, CentOS 7, Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
-Further details can be found in #17538.
-
-New RPCs
---------
-
-New settings
-------------
-
-- RPC Whitelist system. It can give certain RPC users permissions to only some RPC calls.
-It can be set with two command line arguments (`rpcwhitelist` and `rpcwhitelistdefault`). (#12763)
-
-- A new `-asmap` configuration option has been added to enable IP-to-ASN mapping
-  for bucketing of the network peers to diversify the network connections. The
-  legacy /16 prefix mapping remains the default. See [issue
-  #16599](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16599), [PR
-  #16702](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16702), and the `bitcoind
-  help` for more information. This option is experimental and subject to changes
-  or removal in future releases.
-
-Updated settings
-----------------
-
-Importing blocks upon startup via the `bootstrap.dat` file no longer occurs by default. The file must now be specified with `-loadblock=<file>`.
-
--  The `-debug=db` logging category has been renamed to `-debug=walletdb`, to distinguish it from `coindb`.
-   `-debug=db` has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major release.
-
-GUI changes
------------
-
-- The "Start Bitcoin Core on system login" option has been removed on macOS.
-
-Wallet
-------
-
-- The wallet now by default uses bech32 addresses when using RPC, and creates native segwit change outputs.
-- The way that output trust was computed has been fixed in #16766, which impacts confirmed/unconfirmed balance status and coin selection.
-
-- The RPC gettransaction, listtransactions and listsinceblock responses now also
-includes the height of the block that contains the wallet transaction, if any.
-
-- RPC `getaddressinfo` changes:
-
-  - the `label` field has been deprecated in favor of the `labels` field and
-    will be removed in 0.21. It can be re-enabled in the interim by launching
-    with `-deprecatedrpc=label`.
-
-  - the `labels` behavior of returning an array of JSON objects containing name
-    and purpose key/value pairs has been deprecated in favor of an array of
-    label names and will be removed in 0.21. The previous behavior can be
-    re-enabled in the interim by launching with `-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose`.
-
-Low-level changes
-=================
-
-Command line
-------------
-
-Command line options prefixed with main/test/regtest network names like
-`-main.port=8333` `-test.server=1` previously were allowed but ignored. Now
-they trigger "Invalid parameter" errors on startup.
-
-Tests
------
-
-- It is now an error to use an unqualified `walletdir=path` setting in the config file if running on testnet or regtest
-  networks. The setting now needs to be qualified as `chain.walletdir=path` or placed in the appropriate `[chain]`
-  section. (#17447)
-
-- `-fallbackfee` was 0 (disabled) by default for the main chain, but 0.0002 by default for the test chains. Now it is 0
-  by default for all chains. Testnet and regtest users will have to add `fallbackfee=0.0002` to their configuration if
-  they weren't setting it and they want it to keep working like before. (#16524)
