  - Deprecated 'softforks' information from `getblockchaininfo` RPC call, which
    had only been reporting on some very old upgrades. To keep this information,
    start bitcoind with the '-deprecatedrpc=getblockchaininfo' option.
+ - A new `-avoidpartialspends` flag has been added (default=false). If enabled,
+   the wallet will try to spend UTXO's that point at the same destination together.
+   This is a privacy increase, as there will no longer be cases where a wallet will
+   inadvertently spend only parts of the coins sent to the same address (note that
+   if someone were to send coins to that address after it was used, those coins
+   will still be included in future coin selections).
