 Notable changes
 ===============
 
-Change to Transaction Relay Policy
-----------------------------------
-
-Transactions paying less than the [ZIP 317](https://zips.z.cash/zip-0317)
-conventional fee to the extent that they have more than `-txunpaidactionlimit`
-unpaid actions (default: 50) will not be accepted to the mempool or relayed.
-For the default values of `-txunpaidactionlimit` and `-blockunpaidactionlimit`,
-these transactions would never be mined by the ZIP 317 block construction
-algorithm. (If the transaction has been prioritised by `prioritisetransaction`,
-the modified fee is used to calculate the number of unpaid actions.)
-
-Removal of Fee Estimation
--------------------------
-
-The `estimatefee` RPC call, which estimated the fee needed for a transaction to
-be included within a target number of blocks, has been removed. The fee that
-should be paid under normal circumstances is the ZIP 317 conventional fee; it
-is not possible to compute that without knowing the number of logical actions
-in a transaction, which was not an input to `estimatefee`. The `fee_estimates.dat`
-file is no longer used.
-
-RPC Changes
------------
-
-A new RPC method, `z_getsubtreesbyindex`, has been added to the RPC interface.
-This method is only enabled when running with the `-experimentalfeatures=1` and
-`-lightwalletd=1` node configuration options. This method makes available to the
-caller precomputed node values within the Sapling and Orchard note commitment 
-trees. Wallets can make use of these precomputed values to make their existing
-notes spendable without needing to fully scan the sub-trees whose roots
-correspond to the returned node values.
-
-In conjunction with this change, the `getblock` RPC method now returns an
-additional `trees` field as part of its result. The value for this field is an
-object that contains the final sizes of the Sapling and Orchard note commitment
-trees after the block's note commitments have been appended to their respective
-trees.
-
-Error reporting has also been improved for a number of RPC methods.
-
-Privacy Policy Changes
-----------------------
-
-The `AllowRevealedSenders` privacy policy no longer allows sending from
-multiple taddrs in the same transaction. This now requires
-`AllowLinkingAccountAddresses`. Care should be taken in using
-`AllowLinkingAccountAddresses` too broadly, as it can also result in linking
-UAs when transparent funds are sent from them. The practical effect is that an
-explicit privacy policy is always required for `z_mergetoaddress`,
-`z_sendmany`, and `z_shieldcoinbase` when sending from multiple taddrs, even
-when using wildcards like `*` and `ANY_TADDR`.
-
-Wallet Updates
---------------
-
-A number of libraries that zcashd relies upon have been updated as part of this
-release, including some changes that result in updates to wallet serialization
-formats for Orchard note commitment tree data. As always, it is recommended
-that users back up their wallets prior to upgrading to a new release to help
-guarantee the continued availability of their funds.
-
-Platform Support
-----------------
-
-- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has been removed from the list of supported platforms. It
-  reached End of Support on May 31st 2023, and no longer satisfies our Tier 2
-  policy requirements.
