Samuel Dobson d6492d4ed0 Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22650 : Remove -deprecatedrpc=addresses flag and corresponding code/logic

43cd6b8af9 doc: add release notes for removal of the -deprecatedrpc=addresses flag (Michael Dietz)
2b1fdc2c6c refactor: minor styling, prefer snake case and same line if (Michael Dietz)
d64deac7b8 refactor: share logic between ScriptPubKeyToUniv and ScriptToUniv (Michael Dietz)
8721638daa rpc: remove deprecated addresses and reqSigs from rpc outputs (Michael Dietz)

Pull request description:

  Resolves #21797 now that we've branched-off to v23 ("addresses" and "reqSigs" deprecated) "ExtractDestinations" should be removed.

   `-deprecatedrpc=addresses` was initially added in this PR #20286 (which resolved the original issue #20102).

  Some chunks of code and logic are no longer used/necessary with the removal of this, and therefore some minor refactoring is done in this PR as well (separated commits)

Raw Blame History

After branching off for a major version release of Bitcoin Core, use this template to create the initial release notes draft.

The release notes draft is a temporary file that can be added to by anyone. See /doc/developer-notes.md#release-notes for the process.

Create the draft, named "version Release Notes Draft" (e.g. "22.0 Release Notes Draft"), as a collaborative wiki in:

https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/

Before the final release, move the notes back to this git repository.

version Release Notes Draft

Bitcoin Core version version is now available from:

https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-*version*/

This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations.

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:

How to Upgrade

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).

Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.

Compatibility

Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.15+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.

Notable changes

P2P and network changes

A bitcoind node will no longer rumour addresses to inbound peers by default. They will become eligible for address gossip after sending an ADDR, ADDRV2, or GETADDR message. (#21528)

Updated RPCs

The -deprecatedrpc=addresses configuration option has been removed. RPCs gettxout, getrawtransaction, decoderawtransaction, decodescript, gettransaction verbose=true and REST endpoints /rest/tx, /rest/getutxos, /rest/block no longer return the addresses and reqSigs fields, which were previously deprecated in 22.0. (#22650)

New RPCs

Build System

Files

On startup, the list of banned hosts and networks (via setban RPC) in banlist.dat is ignored and only banlist.json is considered. Bitcoin Core version 22.x is the only version that can read banlist.dat and also write it to banlist.json. If banlist.json already exists, version 22.x will not try to translate the banlist.dat into json. After an upgrade, listbanned can be used to double check the parsed entries. (#22570)

New settings

Updated settings

In previous releases, the meaning of the command line option -persistmempool (without a value provided) incorrectly disabled mempool persistence. -persistmempool is now treated like other boolean options to mean -persistmempool=1. Passing -persistmempool=0, -persistmempool=1 and -nopersistmempool is unaffected. (#23061)

Tools and Utilities

Update -getinfo to return data in a user-friendly format that also reduces vertical space. (#21832)
CLI -addrinfo now returns a single field for the number of onion addresses known to the node instead of separate torv2 and torv3 fields, as support for Tor V2 addresses was removed from Bitcoin Core in 22.0. (#22544)

Wallet

GUI changes

Low-level changes

RPC

getblockchaininfo now returns a new time field, that provides the chain tip time. (#22407)

Tests

For the regtest network the activation heights of several softforks were set to block height 1. They can be changed by the runtime setting -testactivationheight=name@height. (#22818)
