+Updated RPCs
+------------
+
+- The `getrawtransaction` RPC no longer checks the unspent UTXO set for
+ a transaction. The remaining behaviors are as follows: 1. If a
+ blockhash is provided, check the corresponding block. 2. If no
+ blockhash is provided, check the mempool. 3. If no blockhash is
+ provided but txindex is enabled, also check txindex.
