Notable changes
===============
Wallet
------
- The `wsh()` output descriptor was extended with Miniscript support. You can import Miniscript
descriptors for P2WSH in a watchonly wallet to track coins, but you can't spend from them using
the Bitcoin Core wallet yet.
You can find more about Miniscript on the [reference website](https://bitcoin.sipa.be/miniscript/).
Low-level changes
=================
RPC
---
- The `deriveaddresses`, `getdescriptorinfo`, `importdescriptors` and `scantxoutset` commands now
accept Miniscript expression within a `wsh()` descriptor.
- The `getaddressinfo`, `decodescript`, `listdescriptors` and `listunspent` commands may now output
a Miniscript descriptor inside a `wsh()` where a `wsh(raw())` descriptor was previously returned.
