- See the [Mining](#mining) section for changes to `getblocktemplate`.
- 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.
