It + remains in this stage for at least 18 weeks. +- In stage 2, the feature is default-disabled, but can be re-enabled with the + `-allowdeprecated` config option. It remains in this stage for at least 18 + weeks. +- Finally, the feature is removed - either entirely, or (e.g. in the case of RPC + methods that were inherited from Bitcoin Core) with a "tombstone" left to + inform users of the removal (and what to use instead if applicable). + +Config options can be specified either as a `zcashd` argument (`-option=value`) +or in `zcash.conf` (as a `option=value` line). However, due to a bug in the +implementation, `allowdeprecated=feature` lines in `zcash.conf` were ignored. +The bug went unnoticed until v5.4.0, in which the first group of features moved +from stage 1 to stage 2. This hotfix releases fixes the bug. + +Fixed RPC blocking and wallet view lag on reindex +------------------------------------------------- + +The known issue reported in the v5.4.0 release notes has been fixed. +
