Miner block size limiting deprecated
60+
------------------------------------
61+
62+
Though blockmaxweight has been preferred for limiting the size of blocks returned by
63+
getblocktemplate since 0.13.0, blockmaxsize remained as an option for those who wished
64+
to limit their block size directly. Using this option resulted in a few UI issues as
65+
well as non-optimal fee selection and ever-so-slightly worse performance, and has thus
66+
now been deprecated. Further, the blockmaxsize option is now used only to calculate an
67+
implied blockmaxweight, instead of limiting block size directly. Any miners who wish
68+
to limit their blocks by size, instead of by weight, will have to do so manually by
69+
removing transactions from their block template directly.
70+
71+
Low-level RPC changes
72+
----------------------
73+
- The "currentblocksize" value in getmininginfo has been removed.
