-...
+`listtransactions` label support
+--------------------------------
+
+The `listtransactions` RPC `account` parameter which was deprecated in 0.17.0
+and renamed to `dummy` has been un-deprecated and renamed again to `label`.
+
+When bitcoin is configured with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` setting, specifying
+a label/account/dummy argument will return both outgoing and incoming
+transactions. Without the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` setting, it will only return
+incoming transactions (because it used to be possible to create transactions
+spending from specific accounts, but this is no longer possible with labels).
+
+When `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` is set, it's possible to pass the empty string ""
+to list transactions that don't have any label. Without
+`-deprecatedrpc=accounts`, passing the empty string is an error because returning
+only non-labeled transactions is not generally useful behavior and can cause
+confusion.
