For backwards compatibility, - if an unnamed `""` wallet already exists and would have been loaded previously, then it - will still be loaded. Users without an unnamed `""` wallet and without any other wallets - to be loaded on startup will be prompted to either choose a wallet to load, or to - create a new wallet. -- A new `send` RPC with similar syntax to `walletcreatefundedpsbt`, including - support for coin selection and a custom fee rate. Using the new `send` method - is encouraged: `sendmany` and `sendtoaddress` may be deprecated in a future release. -- The `testmempoolaccept` RPC returns `size` and a `fee` object with the `base` fee - if the transaction passes validation. -- A "sequence" notifier is added to ZeroMQ notifications, enabling client-side mempool - tracking. -- The same ZeroMQ notification (e.g. `-zmqpubhashtx=address`) can now be specified multiple - times to publish the same notification to different ZeroMQ sockets. -- The `-startupnotify` option can be used to specify a command to execute when Bitcoin ABC - has finished with its startup sequence. +- The `getpeerinfo` RPC now returns a `connection_type` field. This indicates + the type of connection established with the peer. It will return one of six + options. For more information, see the `getpeerinfo` help documentation. +- The `getpeerinfo` RPC no longer returns the `addnode` field by default. This + field will be fully removed in a future release. It can be accessed + with the configuration option `-deprecatedrpc=getpeerinfo_addnode`. However, + it is recommended to instead use the `connection_type` field (it will return + `manual` when addnode is true).
