The default +settings will create transactions that confirm quickly; see the new +'txconfirmtarget' setting to control the tradeoff between fees and +confirmation times. + +Prior releases used hard-coded fees (and priorities), and would +sometimes create transactions that took a very long time to confirm. + + +New Command Line Options +======================== + +-txconfirmtarget=n : create transactions that have enough fees (or priority) +so they are likely to confirm within n blocks (default: 1).
