Removal of internal miner
150+
--------------------------
151+
152+
As CPU mining has been useless for a long time, the internal miner has been
153+
removed in this release, and replaced with a simpler implementation for the
154+
test framework.
155+
156+
The overall result of this is that `setgenerate` RPC call has been removed, as
157+
well as the `-gen` and `-genproclimit` command-line options.
158+
159+
For testing, the `generate` call can still be used to mine a block, and a new
160+
RPC call `generatetoaddress` has been added to mine to a specific address. This
161+
works with wallet disabled.
