+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 `-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)
+
+- `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)

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)

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)
