				Wallet `generate` RPC method deprecated
				---------------------------------------

				The wallet's `generate` RPC method has been deprecated and will be fully
				removed in v0.19.

				`generate` is only used for testing. The RPC call reaches across multiple
				subsystems (wallet and mining), so is deprecated to simplify the wallet-node
				interface. Projects that are using `generate` for testing purposes should
				transition to using the `generatetoaddress` call, which does not require or use
				the wallet component. Calling `generatetoaddress` with an address returned by
				`getnewaddress` gives the same functionality as the old `generate` method.

				To continue using `generate` in v0.18, restart bitcoind with the
				`-deprecatedrpc=generate` configuration.
