    Since #22050, and for Bitcoin Core 22.0, our node shouldn't know of Torv2 addresses. So this should be updated.

    type. This is useful to see how many onion addresses

    $ ./src/bitcoin-cli -addrinfo

    Hmm, and there is the same info in the release notes for -addrinfo. For now, -addrinfo returns "torv2" and "torv3", so my thought was that this should be updated when -addrinfo is changed to return only "onion" instead, probably for v23. WDYT? (thanks for having a look!)

    yeah, makes sense. Can be left for a followup

    I don't think changes to maintainer-facing tools such as generate-seeds need to be in the release notes. Not a big deal though.

    jonatack commented at 10:12 AM on June 12, 2021:

    Good point, removed.

    FWIW if #22179 is merged, I planned to append its PR number to this entry manually in the wiki.
