 Notable changes
 ===============
 
+Changed command-line options
+----------------------------
+
+- `-includeconf=<file>` can be used to include additional configuration files.
+  Only works inside the `bitcoin.conf` file, not inside included files or from
+  command-line. Multiple files may be included. Can be disabled from command-
+  line via `-noincludeconf`. Note that multi-argument commands like
+  `-includeconf` will override preceding `-noincludeconf`, i.e.
+
+    noincludeconf=1
+    includeconf=relative.conf
+
+  as bitcoin.conf will still include `relative.conf`.

+Dynamic loading and creation of wallets
+---------------------------------------
+
+Previously, wallets could only be loaded or created at startup, by specifying `-wallet` parameters on the command line or in the bitcoin.conf file. It is now possible to load, create and unload wallets dynamically at runtime:
+
+- Existing wallets can be loaded by calling the `loadwallet` RPC. The wallet can be specified as file/directory basename (which must be located in the `walletdir` directory), or as an absolute path to a file/directory.
+- New wallets can be created (and loaded) by calling the `createwallet` RPC. The provided name must not match a wallet file in the `walletdir` directory or the name of a wallet that is currently loaded.
+- Loaded wallets can be unloaded by calling the `unloadwallet` RPC.
+
+This feature is currently only available through the RPC interface.
+
+Coin selection
+--------------
+- A new `-avoidpartialspends` flag has been added (default=false). If enabled, the wallet will try to spend UTXO's that point at the same destination
+  together. This is a privacy increase, as there will no longer be cases where a wallet will inadvertently spend only parts of the coins sent to
+  the same address (note that if someone were to send coins to that address after it was used, those coins will still be included in future
+  coin selections).
+
+Configuration sections for testnet and regtest
+----------------------------------------------
+
+It is now possible for a single configuration file to set different
+options for different networks. This is done by using sections or by
+prefixing the option with the network, such as:
+
+    main.uacomment=bitcoin
+    test.uacomment=bitcoin-testnet
+    regtest.uacomment=regtest
+    [main]
+    mempoolsize=300
+    [test]
+    mempoolsize=100
+    [regtest]
+    mempoolsize=20
+
+The `addnode=`, `connect=`, `port=`, `bind=`, `rpcport=`, `rpcbind=`
+and `wallet=` options will only apply to mainnet when specified in the
+configuration file, unless a network is specified.
+
+'label' and 'account' APIs for wallet
+-------------------------------------
+
+A new 'label' API has been introduced for the wallet. This is intended as a
+replacement for the deprecated 'account' API. The 'account' can continue to
+be used in V0.17 by starting bitcoind with the '-deprecatedrpc=accounts'
+argument, and will be fully removed in V0.18.
+
+The label RPC methods mirror the account functionality, with the following functional differences:
+
+- Labels can be set on any address, not just receiving addresses. This functionality was previously only available through the GUI.
+- Labels can be deleted by reassigning all addresses using the `setlabel` RPC method.
+- There isn't support for sending transactions _from_ a label, or for determining which label a transaction was sent from.
+- Labels do not have a balance.
+
+Here are the changes to RPC methods:
+
+| Deprecated Method       | New Method            | Notes       |
+| :---------------------- | :-------------------- | :-----------|
+| `getaccount`            | `getaddressinfo`      | `getaddressinfo` returns a json object with address information instead of just the name of the account as a string. |
+| `getaccountaddress`     | n/a                   | There is no replacement for `getaccountaddress` since labels do not have an associated receive address. |
+| `getaddressesbyaccount` | `getaddressesbylabel` | `getaddressesbylabel` returns a json object with the addresses as keys, instead of a list of strings. |
+| `getreceivedbyaccount`  | `getreceivedbylabel`  | _no change in behavior_ |
+| `listaccounts`          | `listlabels`          | `listlabels` does not return a balance or accept `minconf` and `watchonly` arguments. |
+| `listreceivedbyaccount` | `listreceivedbylabel` | Both methods return new `label` fields, along with `account` fields for backward compatibility. |
+| `move`                  | n/a                   | _no replacement_ |
+| `sendfrom`              | n/a                   | _no replacement_ |
+| `setaccount`            | `setlabel`            | Both methods now: <ul><li>allow assigning labels to any address, instead of raising an error if the address is not receiving address.<li>delete the previous label associated with an address when the final address using that label is reassigned to a different label, instead of making an implicit `getaccountaddress` call to ensure the previous label still has a receiving address. |
+
+| Changed Method         | Notes   |
+| :--------------------- | :------ |
+| `addmultisigaddress`   | Renamed `account` named parameter to `label`. Still accepts `account` for backward compatibility if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts'. |
+| `getnewaddress`        | Renamed `account` named parameter to `label`. Still accepts `account` for backward compatibility. if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' |
+| `listunspent`          | Returns new `label` fields. `account` field will be returned for backward compatibility if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' |
+| `sendmany`             | The `account` named parameter has been renamed to `dummy`. If provided, the `dummy` parameter must be set to the empty string, unless running with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` argument (in which case functionality is unchanged). |
+| `listtransactions`     | The `account` named parameter has been renamed to `dummy`. If provided, the `dummy` parameter must be set to the string `*`, unless running with the `-deprecatedrpc=accounts` argument (in which case functionality is unchanged). |
+| `getbalance`           | `account`, `minconf` and `include_watchonly` parameters are deprecated, and can only be used if running with '-deprecatedrpc=accounts' |

+Transaction index changes
+-------------------------
+
+The transaction index is now built separately from the main node procedure,
+meaning the `-txindex` flag can be toggled without a full reindex. If bitcoind
+is run with `-txindex` on a node that is already partially or fully synced
+without one, the transaction index will be built in the background and become
+available once caught up. When switching from running `-txindex` to running
+without the flag, the transaction index database will *not* be deleted
+automatically, meaning it could be turned back on at a later time without a full
+resync.
