Notable changes Notable changes
=============== ===============
`listtransactions` label support (todo)
--------------------------------
The `listtransactions` RPC `account` parameter which was deprecated in 0.17.0 0.17.x change log
and renamed to `dummy` has been un-deprecated and renamed again to `label`.
When bitcoin is configured with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` setting, specifying
a label/account/dummy argument will return both outgoing and incoming
transactions. Without the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` setting, it will only return
incoming transactions (because it used to be possible to create transactions
spending from specific accounts, but this is no longer possible with labels).
When `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` is set, it's possible to pass the empty string ""
to list transactions that don't have any label. Without
`-deprecatedrpc=accounts`, passing the empty string is an error because returning
only non-labeled transactions is not generally useful behavior and can cause
confusion.
