+Deprecated or removed RPCs
+--------------------------
+- The wallet's `generate` RPC method was deprecated in v0.18 and has now
+ been fully removed. This RPC is only used for
+ testing, but its implementation reached across multiple subsystems
+ (wallet and mining), so it has been removed 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.
