Notable changes
===============
P2P and network changes
-----------------------
-- This release removes support for Tor version 2 hidden services in favor of Tor
- v3 only, as the Tor network [dropped support for Tor
- v2](https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline) with the release of
- Tor version 0.4.6. Henceforth, Bitcoin Core ignores Tor v2 addresses; it
- neither rumors them over the network to other peers, nor stores them in memory
- or to `peers.dat`. (#22050)
-
-- Added NAT-PMP port mapping support via
- [`libnatpmp`](https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/libnatpmp.html). (#18077)
-
Updated RPCs
------------
-- Due to [BIP 350](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0350.mediawiki)
- being implemented, behavior for all RPCs that accept addresses is changed when
- a native witness version 1 (or higher) is passed. These now require a Bech32m
- encoding instead of a Bech32 one, and Bech32m encoding will be used for such
- addresses in RPC output as well. No version 1 addresses should be created
- for mainnet until consensus rules are adopted that give them meaning
- (e.g. through [BIP 341](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki)).
- Once that happens, Bech32m is expected to be used for them, so this shouldn't
- affect any production systems, but may be observed on other networks where such
- addresses already have meaning (like signet). (#20861)
-
-- The `getpeerinfo` RPC returns two new boolean fields, `bip152_hb_to` and
- `bip152_hb_from`, that respectively indicate whether we selected a peer to be
- in compact blocks high-bandwidth mode or whether a peer selected us as a
- compact blocks high-bandwidth peer. High-bandwidth peers send new block
- announcements via a `cmpctblock` message rather than the usual inv/headers
- announcements. See BIP 152 for more details. (#19776)
-
-- `getpeerinfo` no longer returns the following fields: `addnode`, `banscore`,
- and `whitelisted`, which were previously deprecated in 0.21. Instead of
- `addnode`, the `connection_type` field returns manual. Instead of
- `whitelisted`, the `permissions` field indicates if the peer has special
- privileges. The `banscore` field has simply been removed. (#20755)
-
-- The following RPCs: `gettxout`, `getrawtransaction`, `decoderawtransaction`,
- `decodescript`, `gettransaction`, and REST endpoints: `/rest/tx`,
- `/rest/getutxos`, `/rest/block` deprecated the following fields (which are no
- longer returned in the responses by default): `addresses`, `reqSigs`.
- The `-deprecatedrpc=addresses` flag must be passed for these fields to be
- included in the RPC response. This flag/option will be available only for this major release, after which
- the deprecation will be removed entirely. Note that these fields are attributes of
- the `scriptPubKey` object returned in the RPC response. However, in the response
- of `decodescript` these fields are top-level attributes, and included again as attributes
- of the `scriptPubKey` object. (#20286)
-
-- When creating a hex-encoded bitcoin transaction using the `bitcoin-tx` utility
- with the `-json` option set, the following fields: `addresses`, `reqSigs` are no longer
- returned in the tx output of the response. (#20286)
-
-- The `listbanned` RPC now returns two new numeric fields: `ban_duration` and `time_remaining`.
- Respectively, these new fields indicate the duration of a ban and the time remaining until a ban expires,
- both in seconds. Additionally, the `ban_created` field is repositioned to come before `banned_until`. (#21602)
-
-- The `getnodeaddresses` RPC now returns a "network" field indicating the
- network type (ipv4, ipv6, onion, or i2p) for each address. (#21594)
-
-- `getnodeaddresses` now also accepts a "network" argument (ipv4, ipv6, onion,
- or i2p) to return only addresses of the specified network. (#21843)
-
-- The `testmempoolaccept` RPC now accepts multiple transactions (still experimental at the moment,
- API may be unstable). This is intended for testing transaction packages with dependency
- relationships; it is not recommended for batch-validating independent transactions. In addition to
- mempool policy, package policies apply: the list cannot contain more than 25 transactions or have a
- total size exceeding 101K virtual bytes, and cannot conflict with (spend the same inputs as) each other or
- the mempool, even if it would be a valid BIP125 replace-by-fee. There are some known limitations to
- the accuracy of the test accept: it's possible for `testmempoolaccept` to return "allowed"=True for a
- group of transactions, but "too-long-mempool-chain" if they are actually submitted. (#20833)
-
-- `addmultisigaddress` and `createmultisig` now support up to 20 keys for
- Segwit addresses. (#20867)

- like `-onlynet=<network>` or to upgrade to this release of Bitcoin Core 22.0
- that supports Tor v3 only. (#21595)

- `bitcoin-cli` will report a failure. (#21056)
+- Update `-getinfo` to return data in a user-friendly format that also reduces vertical space. (#21832)
Wallet
------
-- A new `listdescriptors` RPC is available to inspect the contents of descriptor-enabled wallets.
- The RPC returns public versions of all imported descriptors, including their timestamp and flags.
- For ranged descriptors, it also returns the range boundaries and the next index to generate addresses from. (#20226)
-
-- The `bumpfee` RPC is not available with wallets that have private keys
- disabled. `psbtbumpfee` can be used instead. (#20891)
-
-- The `fundrawtransaction`, `send` and `walletcreatefundedpsbt` RPCs now support an `include_unsafe` option
- that when `true` allows using unsafe inputs to fund the transaction.
- Note that the resulting transaction may become invalid if one of the unsafe inputs disappears.
- If that happens, the transaction must be funded with different inputs and republished. (#21359)

-- Update the version of `contrib/gitian-descriptors/*.yml`.
+- Translations on Transifex
+ - Create [a new resource](https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/content/) named after the major version with the slug `[bitcoin.qt-translation-<RRR>x]`, where `RRR` is the major branch number padded with zeros. Use `src/qt/locale/bitcoin_en.xlf` to create it.
+ - In the project workflow settings, ensure that [Translation Memory Fill-up](https://docs.transifex.com/translation-memory/enabling-autofill) is enabled and that [Translation Memory Context Matching](https://docs.transifex.com/translation-memory/translation-memory-with-context) is disabled.
+ - Update the Transifex slug in [`.tx/config`](/.tx/config) to the slug of the resource created in the first step. This identifies which resource the translations will be synchronized from.
+ - Make an announcement that translators can start translating for the new version. You can use one of the [previous announcements](https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/announcements/) as a template.
+ - Change the auto-update URL for the resource to `master`, e.g. `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/master/src/qt/locale/bitcoin_en.xlf`. (Do this only after the previous steps, to prevent an auto-update from interfering.)
#### After branch-off (on the major release branch)
- Update the versions.
- Create a pinned meta-issue for testing the release candidate (see [this issue](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17079) for an example) and provide a link to it in the release announcements where useful.
+- Translations on Transifex
+ - Change the auto-update URL for the new major version's resource away from `master` and to the branch, e.g. `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/<branch>/src/qt/locale/bitcoin_en.xlf`. Do not forget this or it will keep tracking the translations on master instead, drifting away from the specific major release.

-- Upload zips and installers, as well as `SHA256SUMS.asc` from last step, to the bitcoincore.org server

-- A `.torrent` will appear in the directory after a few minutes. Optionally help seed this torrent. To get the `magnet:` URI use:
-```bash
-transmission-show -m <torrent file>

-Insert the magnet URI into the announcement sent to mailing lists. This permits
-people without access to `bitcoincore.org` to download the binary distribution.

-1. `python3 ../bitcoin-maintainer-tools/update-translations.py`
-2. `git add` new translations from `src/qt/locale/`
-3. Update `src/qt/bitcoin_locale.qrc` manually or via
-```bash
-git ls-files src/qt/locale/*ts|xargs -n1 basename|sed 's/\(bitcoin_\(.*\)\).ts/ <file alias="\2">locale\/\1.qm<\/file>/'
