+
+ * Mempory pool based fee estimates. If this option is activated,
+ users can set transaction fees that target a desired depth in the
+ memory pool. This feature might be controversial, because miners
+ could conspire and fill the memory pool with expensive transactions
+ that never get mined. However, our current time-based fee estimates
+ results in sticky fees, which cause inexperienced users to overpay,
+ while more advanced users visit (and trust) websites that display
+ memorypool data, and set their fee accordingly.
+ * Local transactions: Transactions that have not been broadcasted can
+ be saved in the wallet file, and their outputs can be used in
+ subsequent transactions. Transactions that disapear from the memory
+ pool stay in the wallet, and can be rebroadcasted. This feature can
+ be combined with cold storage, to create several transactions
+ before broadcasting.
+ * The initial headers download was replaced with hardcoded
+ checkpoints, one per retargeting period. Past headers are
+ downloaded when needed.
+ * The two coin selection policies have been merged, and the policy
+ choice was removed from preferences. Previously, the 'privacy'
+ policy has been unusable because it was was not prioritizing
+ confirmed coins.
+ * The 'Send' tab of the Qt GUI displays how transaction fees are
+ computed from transaction size.
+ * RBF is enabled by default. This might cause some issues with
+ merchants that use wallets that do not display RBF transactions
+ until they are confirmed.
+ * Watching-only wallets and hardware wallets can be encrypted.
+ * Semi-automated crash reporting
+ * The SSH checkbox option was removed from the GUI.
