(note: this is a temporary file, to be added-to by anybody, and moved to release-notes at release time) Notable changes =============== RPC Changes ----------- - `getdeprecationinfo` has several changes: - It now returns additional information about currently deprecated and disabled features. - A new `end_of_service` object that contains both the block height for end-of-service and the estimated time that the end-of-service halt is expected to occur. Note that this height is just an approximation and will change over time as the end-of-service block height approaches, due to the variability in block times. The `end_of_service` object is intended to replace the `deprecationheight` field; see the [Deprecations](#deprecations) section for additional detail. - This RPC method was previously only available for mainnet nodes; it is now also available for testnet and regtest nodes, in which case it does not return end-of-service halt information (as testnet and regtest nodes do not have an end-of-service halt feature.) - Several `z_sendmany` failures have moved from synchronous to asynchronous, so while you should already be checking the async operation status, there are now more cases that may trigger failure at that stage. [Deprecations](https://zcash.github.io/zcash/user/deprecation.html) -------------- The following features have been deprecated, but remain available by default. These features may be disabled by setting `-allowdeprecated=none`. 18 weeks after this release, these features will be disabled by default and the following flags to `-allowdeprecated` will be required to permit their continued use: - `deprecationinfo_deprecationheight`: The `deprecationheight` field of `getdeprecationinfo` has been deprecated and replaced by the `end_of_service` object.
