+Removal of internal miner
+--------------------------
+
+As CPU mining has been useless for a long time, the internal miner has been
+removed in this release, and replaced with a simpler implementation for the
+test framework.
+
+The overall result of this is that `setgenerate` RPC call has been removed, as
+well as the `-gen` and `-genproclimit` command-line options.
+
+For testing, the `generate` call can still be used to mine a block, and a new
+RPC call `generatetoaddress` has been added to mine to a specific address. This
+works with wallet disabled.
