https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.22.4/

This release includes the following features and fixes:

• Various logging fixes and improvements.

Wallet

• The way that output trust was computed has been fixed, which impacts confirmed/unconfirmed balance status and coin selection.

Command-line options

• The -debug=db logging category has been renamed to -debug=walletdb, to distinguish it from coindb. -debug=db has been deprecated and will be removed in a next release.

Low-level RPC Changes

• The RPC gettransaction, listtransactions and listsinceblock responses now also includes the height of the block that contains the wallet transaction, if any.

• A new descriptor type sortedmulti(...) has been added to support multisig scripts where the public keys are sorted lexicographically in the resulting script.

Deprecated or removed RPCs

• The getaddressinfo RPC labels field now returns an array of label name strings. Previously, it returned an array of JSON objects containing name and purpose key/value pairs, which is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. To re-enable the previous behavior, launch bitcoind with -deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose.

Miscellaneous CLI Changes

• The testnet field in bitcoin-cli -getinfo has been renamed to chain and now returns the current network name as defined in BIP70 (main, test, regtest).

Gitian Builds

• By default, gitian-builder cleans up the build container after building.
