Notable changes
===============
-`listtransactions` label support
---------------------------------
+(todo)
-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.
