+@subsection query-block result field dirty-bitmaps (Since 4.2)
+
+The ``dirty-bitmaps`` field of the ``BlockInfo`` structure, returned by
+the query-block command is itself now deprecated. The ``dirty-bitmaps``
+field of the ``BlockDeviceInfo`` struct should be used instead, which is the
+type of the ``inserted`` field in query-block replies, as well as the
+type of array items in query-named-block-nodes.
+
+Since the ``dirty-bitmaps`` field is optionally present in both the old and
+new locations, clients must use introspection to learn where to anticipate
+the field if/when it does appear in command output.

@subsection query-cpus (since 2.12.0)
The ``query-cpus'' command is replaced by the ``query-cpus-fast'' command.
