-Configuration
--------------
-
-A new configuration flag `-maxapsfee` has been added, which sets the max allowed
-avoid partial spends (APS) fee. It defaults to 0 (i.e. fee is the same with
-and without APS). Setting it to -1 will disable APS, unless `-avoidpartialspends`
-is set. (#14582)
-
-Wallet
-------
-
-The wallet will now avoid partial spends (APS) by default, if this does not result
-in a difference in fees compared to the non-APS variant. The allowed fee threshold
-can be adjusted using the new `-maxapsfee` configuration option. (#14582)

-Wallet
-------
-
-Bitcoin Core will no longer create an unnamed `""` wallet by default when no wallet is specified on the command line or in the configuration files.
-For backwards compatibility, if an unnamed `""` wallet already exists and would have been loaded previously, then it will still be loaded.
-Users without an unnamed `""` wallet and without any other wallets to be loaded on startup  will be prompted to either choose a wallet to load, or to create a new wallet.

-Configuration
--------------
-
-Wallets created or loaded in the GUI will now be automatically loaded on
-startup, so they don't need to be manually reloaded next time Bitcoin is
-started. The list of wallets to load on startup is stored in
-`\<datadir\>/settings.json` and augments any command line or `bitcoin.conf`
-`-wallet=` settings that specify more wallets to load. Wallets that are
-unloaded in the GUI get removed from the settings list so they won't load again
-automatically next startup. (#19754)
-
-The `createwallet`, `loadwallet`, and `unloadwallet` RPCs now accept
-`load_on_startup` options to modify the settings list. Unless these options are
-explicitly set to true or false, the list is not modified, so the RPC methods
-remain backwards compatible. (#15937)

-RPC
----
-- A new `send` RPC with similar syntax to `walletcreatefundedpsbt`, including
-  support for coin selection and a custom fee rate. The `send` RPC is experimental
-  and may change in subsequent releases. Using it is encouraged once it's no
-  longer experimental: `sendmany` and `sendtoaddress` may be deprecated in a future release.

-Exposed transaction version numbers are now treated as unsigned 32-bit integers
