The following rpc features were deprecated in V0.17:
- validateaddress returning wallet information about an address
- signrawtransaction
This PR fully removes those features. It can be merged once V0.17 has been branched from master.
jnewbery commented at 2:22 PM on February 20, 2018: member

open-closing this PR so the branch is available to everyone. This ~+ #10762~ should allow server to be built without any dependencies on wallet.

Will re-open once V0.17 has been branched.

Edit: #10762 has been merged. I've now rebased this on master.

nit: No need for double semicolon?

What was the reasoning behind this? It seems unnecessary.
achow101 commented at 2:18 PM on September 11, 2018: member

@ptyx11 This is part of the separation of the wallet from the node. Those RPCs were node RPCs which involved wallet things, so they needed to be removed. They have been deprecated for at least one major version with replacement RPCs already available.
