Notable changes
===============
+New RPCs
+--------
+
+- `getbalances` returns an object with all balances (`mine`,
+ `untrusted_pending` and `immature`). Please refer to the RPC help of
+ `getbalances` for details. The new RPC is intended to replace
+ `getunconfirmedbalance` and the balance fields in `getwalletinfo`, as well as
+ `getbalance`. The old calls may be removed in a future version.
