This is an OPTIONAL release, but since it contains many privacy improvements, it's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all users to upgrade.
It's VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for mining pools to upgrade, since some improvements affect them.
* New Sietch feature: Randomized change output location
* Zcash and Pirate always put the change as the last shielded output, which leaks metadata. Hush no longer has this metadata leakage.

* New Sietch feature: Sitech-ified `z_shieldcoinbase`
* This RPC now leaks less metadata by making it hard for blockchain analysts to know which of the three outputs has value.
* This also increases Hush's "anonset velocity", which is how fast we increase our anonymity set, or "anonset".
* Thanks to [LuckPool](https://luckpool.net) for a patch that fixes how the longest chain is calculated.
* This bug can prevent mining pools from making payout transactions, which is why this release is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for mining pools.
* Previously you could only run `stop` while Hush was in RPC warmup, but now additional RPCs are allowed:
* `stop` - Oops, you started hushd on accident a few seconds ago? Now you can stop it without waiting.
* `help` - Get help during long rescans, finally!

* `listaddresses` - See a list of taddrs as soon as we load the wallet.
* `dumpprivkey` - Dump the private key of a taddr, even when node isn't fully synced!
* `getpeerinfo` - See current peers even before we get enough peers to start syncing or a long rescan!
* If the RPC interface is not functioning (such as filled by deadlocks or something else) it can become impossible to shut down hushd correctly!
* Doing a `kill` of the process could corrupt wallet.dat and cause a very long rescan.
* Now you can create a file called `plz_stop` in the same directory as wallet.dat
* `hushd` checks for this file every 120 seconds and will shutdown if it sees it.
* `-keepnotewitnesscache` prevents the Sapling Note Witness cache from being deleted from wallet.dat on shutdown.
* If your hushd crashed or needed to be `kill -9`, do `hushd -keepnotewitnesscache -rescan -rescanheight=XXX` with a height of just before it crashed
* This will only rescan the latest part of the blockchain looking for new funds, instead of all of history. Much faster!
* `-rescanheight` can be used with `-keepnotewitnesscache` and `-rescan` to do a partial rescan of history and avoid completely rebuilding the Witness Cache.
* `-zindex` data is now stored on disk in the new `zindex.dat` file
* All nodes that use `-zindex` will now have reliable anonset statistics even after a restart
* `getpeerinfo` now returns a `relaytxes` key which says if a remote node is relaying transactions to us
* Improvements to the RPC help documentation
* `hushd.bat` for Windows now uses the ASN map via `-asmap` and has the latest seed nodes
* `hushd-tx.bat` for Windows now exists for making raw transactions on Windows
