+GUI changes
+-----------
+
+Configuration changes made in the bitcoin GUI (such as the pruning setting,
+proxy settings, UPNP preferences) are now saved to `<datadir>/settings.json`
+file rather than to the Qt settings backend (windows registry or unix desktop
+config files), so these settings will now apply to bitcoind, instead of being
+ignored.
+
+Also, the interaction between GUI settings and `bitcoin.conf` settings is
+simplified. Settings from `bitcoin.conf` are now displayed normally in the GUI
+settings dialog, instead of in a separate warning message ("Options set in this
+dialog are overridden by the configuration file: -setting=value"). And these
+settings can now be edited because `settings.json` values take precedence over
+`bitcoin.conf` values.
