    Post things here that need explicit mention in 0.14 release notes

    I'd strongly prefer for pulls to just update doc/release-notes.md directly, but if they somehow slip by, mention them here.

    Overview:

    • ZMQ on Windows (#8238) (done in wiki)
    • Changed RPC calls:
      • getaddednodeinfo got rid of first argument (#8272) (done in wiki)
      • getinfo was deprecated (but not yet removed) (#8780) (done in wiki)
      • preciousblock RPC call #6996
      • importmulti RPC: #7551
      • getmemoryinfo #8753
      • `setnetworkactive RPC (#8996)
    • Mention that the GUI confirmation target has been changed from the default of 25 to 6 (#9036).
    • Mempool dump to disk (#8448) (done in wiki)
    • Several memory usage improvements
      • (shared pointers, LockedPool #8753)
      • Share unused mempool space with coin cache (#8610)
    • Qt RPC nested commands: #7783 (done in wiki)
    • Qt sensitive data filter: #8877 (done in wiki)
    • Removal of priority estimation (#7730).
    • Address relay changes (#8594, #8661, #8740).
    • Named RPC arguments (#8811).
    • Manual block file pruning (#7871)
    • Deprecate use of getrawtransaction for confirmed transactions with unspent outputs without -txindex (#9520).

    Note: we're doing an experiment with editing the release notes draft in a github wiki. The most up to date version of the release notes is thus at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/0.14.0-Release-notes . Feel free to edit them there if you want to add any of these items.

    Mention that the GUI confirmation target has been changed from the default of 25 to 2 #8989 (or maybe 6 after #9036)

  16. laanwj commented at 11:37 AM on November 2, 2016: member

    Yes, also the RPC default will go to 6 if #9036.

    New RPC: getmemoryinfo #8753

    Created a label "Needs release notes" for pulls to be tagged with. Could be useful?

  19. laanwj commented at 11:19 AM on December 3, 2016: member

    @MarcoFalke yes good idea

    Named RPC arguments (#8811).

  34. luke-jr commented at 5:10 PM on January 10, 2017: member

    #9263 needs to be merged in

  35. laanwj commented at 5:21 PM on January 10, 2017: member

    Update to LevelDB 1.19 (#8613).

    Do you have a specific reason this needs special mention in the release notes? (besides a normal changelog line) Like other dependency upgrades, it's not a user-facing change.

  36. MarcoFalke commented at 5:22 PM on January 10, 2017: member

    Those are already in 0.13 so don't need to be put in the notes for 0.14?

  37. laanwj commented at 5:24 PM on January 10, 2017: member

    Indeed, good catch. Release notes are a diff to the last minor release on previous major. I guess an exception could be made if it was somehow forgotten there.

    Fair enough.

    #8456 bumpfee

  45. kallewoof commented at 12:48 PM on January 30, 2017: member

    Maybe mentioning changes to listsinceblock as these now use fork point rather than the relative height of the reorged block vs current main chain (#9516).

    I'm also confused by the wording "This is a new major version release", since traditionally, the version is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, and this is thus a new MINOR version release. Perhaps "major" is referring to a major change in codebase only?

  46. laanwj commented at 12:59 PM on January 30, 2017: member

    since traditionally, the version is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, and this is thus a new MINOR version release

    Traditionally for other projects perhaps. In bitcoin core we've always used "major" for 0.x.0 and "minor" for 0.x.y. To be honest I don't think that's going to ever change, unless for some freak reason the first number ever gets bumped, but that's a completely different discussion that doesn't belong here.

  47. MarcoFalke commented at 1:01 PM on January 30, 2017: member

    We might just drop the 0. prefix if it is always present and thus, count releases like firefox and similar. But agree it is off topic here.

  48. MarcoFalke commented at 1:03 PM on January 30, 2017: member

    Could make sense to sync the release notes from the wiki to our repo in a pull request, so we can see if all looks fine.

  50. morcos commented at 7:58 PM on February 9, 2017: member

    Need to add explanation of at least some of the new minimum fees (incrementalRelayFee, dustRelayFee and blockMinTxFee) as well as the fact that it is now unnecessary to set minRelayTxFee. (done)

  51. MarcoFalke commented at 10:48 AM on February 25, 2017: member

    bumpfee is still missing?

  52. laanwj commented at 12:48 PM on February 28, 2017: member

    #9878 added mention of bumpfee (thanks @ryanofsky), I think this is done, closing.
