Notable changes
===============
-P2P and network changes
------------------------
-
-- A bitcoind node will no longer rumour addresses to inbound peers by default.
- They will become eligible for address gossip after sending an ADDR, ADDRV2,
- or GETADDR message. (#21528)
-
-Fee estimation changes
-----------------------
-
-- Fee estimation now takes the feerate of replacement (RBF) transactions into
- account. (#22539)
-
-Rescan startup parameter removed
---------------------------------
-
-The `-rescan` startup parameter has been removed. Wallets which require
-rescanning due to corruption will still be rescanned on startup.
-Otherwise, please use the `rescanblockchain` RPC to trigger a rescan. (#23123)
-
-Updated RPCs
-------------
-
-- The `validateaddress` RPC now returns an `error_locations` array for invalid
- addresses, with the indices of invalid character locations in the address (if
- known). For example, this will attempt to locate up to two Bech32 errors, and
- return their locations if successful. Success and correctness are only guaranteed
- if fewer than two substitution errors have been made.
- The error message returned in the `error` field now also returns more specific
- errors when decoding fails. (#16807)
-
-- The `-deprecatedrpc=addresses` configuration option has been removed. RPCs
- `gettxout`, `getrawtransaction`, `decoderawtransaction`, `decodescript`,
- `gettransaction verbose=true` and REST endpoints `/rest/tx`, `/rest/getutxos`,
- `/rest/block` no longer return the `addresses` and `reqSigs` fields, which
- were previously deprecated in 22.0. (#22650)
-- The `getblock` RPC command now supports verbosity level 3 containing transaction inputs'
- `prevout` information. The existing `/rest/block/` REST endpoint is modified to contain
- this information too. Every `vin` field will contain an additional `prevout` subfield
- describing the spent output. `prevout` contains the following keys:
- - `generated` - true if the spent coins was a coinbase.
- - `height`
- - `value`
- - `scriptPubKey`
-
-- The top-level fee fields `fee`, `modifiedfee`, `ancestorfees` and `descendantfees`
- returned by RPCs `getmempoolentry`,`getrawmempool(verbose=true)`,
- `getmempoolancestors(verbose=true)` and `getmempooldescendants(verbose=true)`
- are deprecated and will be removed in the next major version (use
- `-deprecated=fees` if needed in this version). The same fee fields can be accessed
- through the `fees` object in the result. WARNING: deprecated
- fields `ancestorfees` and `descendantfees` are denominated in sats, whereas all
- fields in the `fees` object are denominated in BTC. (#22689)
-
-- Both `createmultisig` and `addmultisigaddress` now include a `warnings`
- field, which will show a warning if a non-legacy address type is requested
- when using uncompressed public keys. (#23113)
-
-New RPCs
---------
-
-- Information on soft fork status has been moved from `getblockchaininfo`
- to the new `getdeploymentinfo` RPC which allows querying soft fork status at any
- block, rather than just at the chain tip. Inclusion of soft fork
- status in `getblockchaininfo` can currently be restored using the
- configuration `-deprecatedrpc=softforks`, but this will be removed in
- a future release. Note that in either case, the `status` field
- now reflects the status of the current block rather than the next
- block. (#23508)
-
-Build System
+Example item
------------
-Files
------
-
-* On startup, the list of banned hosts and networks (via `setban` RPC) in
- `banlist.dat` is ignored and only `banlist.json` is considered. Bitcoin Core
- version 22.x is the only version that can read `banlist.dat` and also write
- it to `banlist.json`. If `banlist.json` already exists, version 22.x will not
- try to translate the `banlist.dat` into json. After an upgrade, `listbanned`
- can be used to double check the parsed entries. (#22570)
-
-New settings
-------------
-
-Updated settings
-----------------
-
-- In previous releases, the meaning of the command line option
- `-persistmempool` (without a value provided) incorrectly disabled mempool
- persistence. `-persistmempool` is now treated like other boolean options to
- mean `-persistmempool=1`. Passing `-persistmempool=0`, `-persistmempool=1`
- and `-nopersistmempool` is unaffected. (#23061)
-
-- `-maxuploadtarget` now allows human readable byte units [k|K|m|M|g|G|t|T].
- E.g. `-maxuploadtarget=500g`. No whitespace, +- or fractions allowed.
- Default is `M` if no suffix provided. (#23249)
-
-- If `-proxy=` is given together with `-noonion` then the provided proxy will
- not be set as a proxy for reaching the Tor network. So it will not be
- possible to open manual connections to the Tor network for example with the
- `addnode` RPC. To mimic the old behavior use `-proxy=` together with
- `-onlynet=` listing all relevant networks except `onion`. (#22834)
-
-Tools and Utilities
--------------------
-
-- Update `-getinfo` to return data in a user-friendly format that also reduces vertical space. (#21832)
-
-- CLI `-addrinfo` now returns a single field for the number of `onion` addresses
- known to the node instead of separate `torv2` and `torv3` fields, as support
- for Tor V2 addresses was removed from Bitcoin Core in 22.0. (#22544)
-
-Wallet
-------
-
-- `upgradewallet` will now automatically flush the keypool if upgrading
- from a non-HD wallet to an HD wallet, to immediately start using the
- newly-generated HD keys. (#23093)
-
-- a new RPC `newkeypool` has been added, which will flush (entirely
- clear and refill) the keypool. (#23093)
-
-- `listunspent` now includes `ancestorcount`, `ancestorsize`, and
- `ancestorfees` for each transaction output that is still in the mempool.
- (#12677)
-
-- `lockunspent` now optionally takes a third parameter, `persistent`, which
- causes the lock to be written persistently to the wallet database. This
- allows UTXOs to remain locked even after node restarts or crashes. (#23065)
-
-- `receivedby` RPCs now include coinbase transactions. Previously, the
- following wallet RPCs excluded coinbase transactions: `getreceivedbyaddress`,
- `getreceivedbylabel`, `listreceivedbyaddress`, `listreceivedbylabel`. This
- release changes this behaviour and returns results accounting for received
- coins from coinbase outputs. The previous behaviour can be restored using the
- configuration `-deprecatedrpc=exclude_coinbase`, but may be removed in a
- future release. (#14707)
-
-- A new option in the same `receivedby` RPCs, `include_immature_coinbase`
- (default=`false`), determines whether to account for immature coinbase
- transactions. Immature coinbase transactions are coinbase transactions that
- have 100 or fewer confirmations, and are not spendable. (#14707)
-
-GUI changes
------------
-
-- UTXOs which are locked via the GUI are now stored persistently in the
- wallet database, so are not lost on node shutdown or crash. (#23065)
-
-- The Bech32 checkbox has been replaced with a dropdown for all address types, including the new Bech32m (BIP-350) standard for Taproot enabled wallets.
-
-Low-level changes
-=================
-
-RPC
----
-
-- `getblockchaininfo` now returns a new `time` field, that provides the chain tip time. (#22407)
-
-Tests
------
-
-- For the `regtest` network the activation heights of several softforks were
- set to block height 1. They can be changed by the runtime setting
- `-testactivationheight=name@height`. (#22818)
