+Transaction index changes
+-------------------------
+
+The transaction index is now built separately from the main node procedure,
+meaning the `-txindex` flag can be toggled without a full reindex. If bitcoind
+is run with `-txindex` on a node that is already partially or fully synced
+without one, the transaction index will be built in the background and become
+available once caught up. When switching from running `-txindex` to running
+without the flag, the transaction index database will *not* be deleted
+automatically, meaning it could be turned back on at a later time without a full
+resync.
