+RPC Server "Warm-Up" Mode
+=========================
+
+The RPC server is started earlier now, before most of the expensive
+intialisations like loading the block index. It is available now almost
+immediately after starting the process. However, until all initialisations
+are done, it always returns an immediate error with code -28 to all calls.
+
+This new behaviour can be useful for clients to know that a server is already
+started and will be available soon (for instance, so that they do not
+have to start it themselves).
