This means the order of transaction outputs can be specified by the client. +- The `fundrawtransaction` RPC will reject the previously deprecated `reserveChangeKey` option. + +External wallet files +--------------------- + +The `-wallet=<path>` option now accepts full paths instead of requiring wallets +to be located in the -walletdir directory. + +Newly created wallet format +--------------------------- + +If `-wallet=<path>` is specified with a path that does not exist, it will now +create a wallet directory at the specified location (containing a wallet.dat +data file, a db.log file, and database/log.?????????? files) instead of just +creating a data file at the path and storing log files in the parent +directory. This should make backing up wallets more straightforward than +before because the specified wallet path can just be directly archived without +having to look in the parent directory for transaction log files. + +For backwards compatibility, wallet paths that are names of existing data files +in the `-walletdir` directory will continue to be accepted and interpreted the +same as before. + +Low-level RPC changes +--------------------- + +- When bitcoin is not started with any `-wallet=<path>` options, the name of + the default wallet returned by `getwalletinfo` and `listwallets` RPCs is + now the empty string `""` instead of `"wallet.dat"`. If bitcoin is started + with any `-wallet=<path>` options, there is no change in behavior, and the + name of any wallet is just its `<path>` string. + +### Logging + +- The log timestamp format is now ISO 8601 (e.g. "2018-02-28T12:34:56Z").
