Whenever possible, please amend the doc/release-notes.md within the pull that introduces a new fancy feature or breaks compatibility.

If this is not possible, mention the pull here, so it can be taken care of later.

(you don't need to mention all changes here, only those that have specific changes that the user needs to be aware of)

We need to mention the addition of the RPC getblockstats , introduced in #10757 and modified in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13918

#13194 needs mention that it makes the standardness for bare multisig somewhat stricter (see #14104)
#13033 changed the format of the txindex, thus requires an automatic upgrade on first run and makes downgrading require a reindex if txindex enabled (see #14048)

from @sipa on IRC ( #14289): my suggestion is to just point out in release notes that upgrading from 0.13.0 or before is a known memory bloat issue, which can be worked around with -reindex

Shouldn't this be closed now that 0.17.0 was released?
