+- `scantxoutset` takes as input descriptors to scan for, and also reports

+- `getdescriptorinfo` analyzes a descriptor, and reports a canonicalized version

+- `deriveaddresses` takes as input a descriptor and computes the corresponding

+- `listunspent` outputs a specialized descriptor for the reported unspent outputs.

------------
+Note: some low-level RPC changes mainly useful for testing are described in the
+Low-level Changes section below.
+
+* The `sendmany` RPC had an argument `minconf` that was not well specified and
+ would lead to RPC errors even when the wallet's coin selection would succeed.
+ The `sendtoaddress` RPC never had this check, so to normalize the behavior,
+ `minconf` is now ignored in `sendmany`. If the coin selection does not
+ succeed due to missing coins, it will still throw an RPC error. Be reminded
+ that coin selection is influenced by the `-spendzeroconfchange`,
+ `-limitancestorcount`, `-limitdescendantcount` and `-walletrejectlongchains`
