134
+
- The wallet's `generate` RPC method is deprecated and will be fully
135
+
removed in a subsequent major version. This RPC is only used for
136
+
testing, but its implementation reached across multiple subsystems
137
+
(wallet and mining), so it is being deprecated to simplify the
138
+
wallet-node interface. Projects that are using `generate` for testing
139
+
purposes should transition to using the `generatetoaddress` RPC, which
140
+
does not require or use the wallet component. Calling
141
+
`generatetoaddress` with an address returned by the `getnewaddress`
142
+
RPC gives the same functionality as the old `generate` RPC. To
143
+
continue using `generate` in this version, restart bitcoind with the
144
+
`-deprecatedrpc=generate` configuration option.

node. It may be used to find nodes to connect to without using a DNS
151

seeder.
152

153

- A new `listwalletdir` RPC returns a list of wallets in the wallet

configured by the `-walletdir` parameter).
