Notable changes
===============
GCC 4.8.x
--------------
The minimum version of GCC required to compile Bitcoin Core is now 4.8. No effort will be
made to support older versions of GCC. See discussion in issue #11732 for more information.
HD-wallets by default
---------------------
Due to a backward-incompatible change in the wallet database, wallets created
with version 0.16.0 will be rejected by previous versions. Also, version 0.16.0
will only create hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets.
Replace-By-Fee by default in GUI
--------------------------------
The send screen now uses BIP-125 RBF by default, regardless of `-walletrbf`.
There is a checkbox to mark the transaction as final.
The RPC default remains unchanged: to use RBF, launch with `-walletrbf=1` or
use the `replaceable` argument for individual transactions.
Wallets directory configuration (`-walletdir`)
----------------------------------------------
Bitcoin Core now has more flexibility in where the wallets directory can be
located. Previously wallet database files were stored at the top level of the
bitcoin data directory. The behavior is now:
- For new installations (where the data directory doesn't already exist),
wallets will now be stored in a new `wallets/` subdirectory inside the data
directory by default.
- For existing nodes (where the data directory already exists), wallets will be
stored in the data directory root by default. If a `wallets/` subdirectory
already exists in the data directory root, then wallets will be stored in the
`wallets/` subdirectory by default.
- The location of the wallets directory can be overridden by specifying a
`-walletdir=<path>` option where `<path>` can be an absolute path to a
directory or directory symlink.
Care should be taken when choosing the wallets directory location, as if it
becomes unavailable during operation, funds may be lost.
Low-level RPC changes
----------------------
- The deprecated RPC `getinfo` was removed. It is recommended that the more specific RPCs are used:
* `getblockchaininfo`
* `getnetworkinfo`
* `getwalletinfo`
* `getmininginfo`
- The wallet RPC `getreceivedbyaddress` will return an error if called with an address not in the wallet.
- The wallet RPC `addwitnessaddress` was deprecated and will be removed in version 0.17,
set the `address_type` argument of `getnewaddress`, or option `-addresstype=[bech32|p2sh-segwit]` instead.
Changed command-line options
-----------------------------
- `-debuglogfile=<file>` can be used to specify an alternative debug logging file.
Renamed script for creating JSON-RPC credentials
-----------------------------
The `share/rpcuser/rpcuser.py` script was renamed to `share/rpcauth/rpcauth.py`. This script can be
used to create `rpcauth` credentials for a JSON-RPC user.
- `dumpwallet` now includes hex-encoded scripts from the wallet in the dumpfile, and
`importwallet` now imports these scripts, but corresponding addresses may not be added
correctly or a manual rescan may be required to find relevant transactions.
