90ae3d8ca68334ec712d67b21a8d4721c6d79788 doc: Add release notes for -deprecatedrpc=addresses and bitcoin-tx (Michael Dietz) 085b3a729952896ccd0e40c17df569f4421f5493 rpc: deprecate `addresses` and `reqSigs` from rpc outputs (Michael Dietz) Pull request description: Considering the limited applicability of `reqSigs` and the confusing output of `1` in all cases except bare multisig, the `addresses` and `reqSigs` outputs are removed for all rpc commands. 1) add a new sane "address" field (for outputs that have an identifiable address, which doesn't include bare multisig) 2) with -deprecatedrpc: leave "reqSigs" and "addresses" intact (with all weird/wrong behavior they have now) 3) without -deprecatedrpc: drop "reqSigs" and "addresses" entirely always. Note: Some light refactoring done to allow us to very easily delete a few chunks of code (marked with TODOs) when we remove this deprecated behavior. Using `IsDeprecatedRPCEnabled` in core_write.cpp caused some circular dependencies involving core_io Circular dependencies were caused by rpc/util unnecessarily importing node/coinstats and node/transaction. Really what rpc/util needs are some fundamental type/helper-function definitions. So this was cleaned up to make more sense. This fixes #20102.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
