New features of particular interest ===================================

- BIP157 (Neutrino) can be enabled to serve compact block filters to peers.
  This requires both the `-blockfilterindex` and `-peercfilters` options
  enabled, and can also be turned on in the GUI settings under the Network
  tab.
- PSBT support has been experimentally expanded to include the new version and
  proprietary fields, as well as easier usage from the GUI for watch-only
  wallets.
- The Overview tab now has the ability to hide private information. This is
  still an experimental feature, and suggestions for how the new "privacy
  mode" should look can be made on the related Core PR:
