RPC low-level changes
----------------------
- `gettxoutsetinfo` UTXO hash (`hash_serialized`) has changed. There was a divergence between
32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and the txids were missing in the hashed data. This has been
fixed, but this means that the output will be different than from previous versions.
- Full UTF-8 support in the RPC API. Non-ASCII characters in, for example,
wallet labels have always been malformed because they weren't taken into account
properly in JSON RPC processing. This is no longer the case. This also affects
the GUI debug console.

0.13.0 Change log
=================
Detailed release notes follow. This overview includes changes that affect
behavior, not code moves, refactors and string updates. For convenience in locating
the code changes and accompanying discussion, both the pull request and
git merge commit are mentioned.
### RPC and REST
Asm script outputs replacements for OP_NOP2 and OP_NOP3
The following outputs are affected by this change:
- RPC `getrawtransaction` (in verbose mode)
- RPC `decoderawtransaction`
- RPC `decodescript`
- REST `/rest/tx/` (JSON format)
- REST `/rest/block/` (JSON format when including extended tx details)
- `bitcoin-tx -json`
New mempool information RPC calls

entries, as well as to calculate the in-mempool ancestors or descendants of a
transaction: see `getmempoolentry`, `getmempoolancestors`, `getmempooldescendants`.
### ZMQ
Each ZMQ notification now contains an up-counting sequence number that allows
listeners to detect lost notifications.
The sequence number is always the last element in a multi-part ZMQ notification and
therefore backward compatible.
Each message type has its own counter.

### Configuration and command-line options
### Block and transaction handling
### P2P protocol and network code
The p2p alert system has been removed in #7692 and the 'alert' message is no longer supported.
