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. Theend_of_service
object is intended to replace thedeprecationheight
field; see the 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.)

These features may be disabled by setting -allowdeprecated=none
