Low-level RPC changes
----------------------
`-usehd` was removed in version 0.16. From that version onwards, all new
wallets created are hierarchical deterministic wallets. Version 0.18 makes
specifying `-usehd` invalid config.
`ischange` field of boolean type that shows if an address was used for change
output was added to `getaddressinfo` method response.

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.

Updated RPCs

Deprecated or removed RPCs
--------------------------
- The `signrawtransaction` RPC is removed after being deprecated and
hidden behind a special configuration option in version 0.17.0.
- The 'account' API is removed after being deprecated in v0.17. The
'label' API was introduced in v0.17 as a replacement for accounts.
See the [release notes from v0.17](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.17.0.md#label-and-account-apis-for-wallet)
for a full description of the changes from the 'account' API to the
'label' API.
- The `addwitnessaddress` RPC is removed after being deprecated in
version 0.13.0.
- The wallet's `generate` RPC method is deprecated and will be fully
removed in a subsequent major version. This RPC is only used for
testing, but its implementation reached across multiple subsystems
(wallet and mining), so it is being deprecated to simplify the
wallet-node interface. Projects that are using `generate` for testing
purposes should transition to using the `generatetoaddress` RPC, which
does not require or use the wallet component. Calling
`generatetoaddress` with an address returned by the `getnewaddress`
RPC gives the same functionality as the old `generate` RPC. To
continue using `generate` in this version, restart bitcoind with the
`-deprecatedrpc=generate` configuration option.
New RPCs
--------
- A new `getnodeaddresses` RPC returns peer addresses known to this
node. It may be used to find nodes to connect to without using a DNS
seeder.
- A new `listwalletdir` RPC returns a list of wallets in the wallet
directory (either the default wallet directory or the directory
configured by the `-walletdir` parameter).
Updated RPCs
------------
Note: some low-level RPC changes mainly useful for testing are described
in the Low-level Changes section below.
- The `getpeerinfo` RPC now returns an additional "minfeefilter" field
set to the peer's BIP133 fee filter. You can use this to detect that
you have peers that are willing to accept transactions below the

deterministic wallets. This release makes specifying `-usehd` an
