- Logs now include which peer sent us a header. Additionally there are fewer
redundant header log messages. A side-effect of this change is that for
some untypical cases new headers aren't logged anymore, e.g. a direct
`BLOCK` message with a previously unknown header and `submitheader` RPC. (#27826)

RPC and Startup Option
---
The `-paytxfee` startup option and the `settxfee` RPC are now deprecated and will be removed in Bitcoin Core 31.0. They allowed the user to set a static fee rate for wallet transactions, which could potentially lead to overpaying or underpaying. Users should instead rely on fee estimation or specify a fee rate per transaction using the `fee_rate` argument in RPCs such as `fundrawtransaction`, `sendtoaddress`, `send`, `sendall`, and `sendmany`.

New command line interface
--------------------------
A new `bitcoin` command line tool has been added to make features more
discoverable and convenient to use. The `bitcoin` tool just calls other
executables and does not implement any functionality on its own. Specifically
`bitcoin node` is a synonym for `bitcoind`, `bitcoin gui` is a synonym for
`bitcoin-qt`, and `bitcoin rpc` is a synonym for `bitcoin-cli -named`. Other
commands and options can be listed with `bitcoin help`. The new tool does not
replace other tools, so existing commands should continue working and there are
no plans to deprecate them.
Install changes
---------------
The `test_bitcoin` executable is now located in `libexec/` rather than `bin/`.
It can still be executed directly, or accessed through the new `bitcoin` command
line tool as `bitcoin test`.
Other executables which are only part of source releases and not built by
default: `test_bitcoin-qt`, `bench_bitcoin`, `bitcoin-chainstate`,
`bitcoin-node`, and `bitcoin-gui` are also now installed in `libexec/`
instead of `bin/` and can be accessed through the `bitcoin` command line tool.
See `bitcoin help` output for details.

RPC
The `submitpackage` RPC, which allows submissions of child-with-parents
packages, no longer requires that all unconfirmed parents be present. The
package may contain other in-mempool ancestors as well. (#31385)
P2P
Opportunistic 1-parent-1-child package relay has been improved to handle
situations when the child already has unconfirmed parent(s) in the mempool.
This means that 1p1c packages can be accepted and propagate, even if they are
connected to broader topologies: multi-parent-1-child (where only 1 parent
requires fee-bumping), grandparent-parent-child (where only parent requires
fee-bumping) etc. (#31385)

A new (experimental) Mining interface was introduced to support Stratum v2 or other mining client software, see #31098. When the node is started with `bitcoin node -m -ipcbind=unix` the node will listen on a unix socket for IPC client connections. The `-m` option launches a new binary `bitcoin-node` instead of `bitcoind`.
IPC connectivity introduces new dependencies (see [multiprocess.md](multiprocess.md)), which are only included in the `bitcoin-node` and `bitcoin-gui` binaries (not in `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt`). Those new binaries are now built by default (controlled by `ENABLE_IPC`). If you don't intend to use IPC, nothing changes and there is no need to use `bitcoin -m`, `bitcoin-node` or `bitcoin-gui`(#31802)

P2P
- The transaction orphanage, which holds transactions with missing inputs temporarily while the node attempts to fetch
its parents, now has improved Denial of Service protections. Previously, it enforced a maximum number of unique
transactions (default 100, configurable using `-maxorphantx`). Now, its limits are as follows: the number of entries
(unique by wtxid and peer), plus each unique transaction's input count divided by 10, must not exceed 3,000. The total
weight of unique transactions must not exceed 404,000 Wu multiplied by the number of peers.
- The `-maxorphantx` option no longer has any effect, since the orphanage no longer limits the number of unique
transactions. Users should remove this configuration option if they were using it, as the setting will cause an
error in future versions when it is no longer recognized.

- `-datacarriersize` is increased to 100,000 which effectively uncaps the limit (as the maximum transaction size limit will be hit first). It can be overridden with -datacarriersize=83 to revert to the limit enforced in previous versions. Both `-datacarrier` and `-datacarriersize` options have been marked as deprecated and are expected to be removed in a future release. (#32406)
- Multiple data carrier (OP_RETURN) outputs in a transaction are now permitted for relay and mining. The `-datacarriersize` limit applies to the aggregate size of the scriptPubKeys across all such outputs in a transaction, not including the scriptPubKey size itself. (#32406)

Updated settings
----------------
- Previously, `-proxy` specified the proxy for all networks (except I2P which
uses `-i2psam`) and only the Tor proxy could have been specified separately
via `-onion`. Now, the syntax of `-proxy` has been extended and it is possible
to specify separately the proxy for IPv4, IPv6, Tor and CJDNS by appending `=`
followed by the network name, for example `-proxy=127.0.0.1:5555=ipv6`
configures a proxy only for IPv6. The `-proxy` option can be used multiple
times to define different proxies for different networks, such as
`-proxy=127.0.0.1:4444=ipv4 -proxy=10.0.0.1:6666=ipv6`. Later settings
override earlier ones for the same network; this can be used to remove an
earlier all-networks proxy and use direct connections only for a given
network, for example `-proxy=127.0.0.1:5555 -proxy=0=cjdns`. (#32425)

### Policy
The maximum number of potentially executed legacy signature operations in a
single standard transaction is now limited to 2500. Signature operations in all
previous output scripts, in all input scripts, as well as all P2SH redeem
scripts (if there are any) are counted toward the limit. The new limit is
assumed to not affect any known typically formed standard transactions. The
change was done to prepare for a possible BIP54 deployment in the future.

Support has been added for spending TRUC transactions received by the
wallet, as well as creating TRUC transactions. The wallet ensures that
TRUC policy rules are being met. The wallet will throw an error if the
user is trying to spend TRUC utxos with utxos of other versions.
Additionally, the wallet will treat unconfirmed TRUC sibling
transactions as mempool conflicts. The wallet will also ensure that
transactions spending TRUC utxos meet the required size restrictions.

# Legacy Wallet Removal
BDB legacy wallets can no longer be created or loaded. They can be migrated to
the new descriptor wallet format. Refer to the `migratewallet` RPC for more
details.
The legacy wallet removal drops redundant options in the bitcoin-wallet tool,
such as `-withinternalbdb`, `-legacy`, and `-descriptors`. Moreover, the
legacy-only RPCs `addmultisigaddress`, `dumpprivkey`, `dumpwallet`,
`importaddress`, `importmulti`, `importprivkey`, `importpubkey`,
`importwallet`, `newkeypool`, `sethdseed`, and `upgradewallet`, are removed.

Mining and Transaction Relay Policy
=========================
The minimum block feerate (`-blockmintxfee`) has been changed to 1 satoshi per kvB. It can still be changed using the
configuration option.
The default minimum relay feerate (`-minrelaytxfee`) and incremental relay feerate (`-incrementalrelayfee`) have been
changed to 100 satoshis per kvB. They can still be changed using their respective configuration options, but it is
recommended to change both together if you decide to do so.
Other minimum feerates (e.g. the dust feerate, the minimum returned by the fee estimator, and all feerates used by the
wallet) remain unchanged. The mempool minimum feerate still changes in response to high volume.
Note that unless these lower defaults are widely adopted across the network, transactions created with lower fee rates
are not guaranteed to propagate or confirm. The wallet feerates remain unchanged; `-mintxfee` must be changed before
attempting to create transactions with lower feerates using the wallet.
