This release includes the following features and fixes:

• Add a new RPC getblockfrompeer which permits requesting a specific block from
  a specific peer manually. The intended use is acquisition of stale chaintips
  for fork monitoring and research purposes.
• Add a new wallet RPC restorewallet to restore a wallet from a backup file
  created with the backupwallet RPC.
• The bytespersigop option has been deprecated and the more accurate
  -bytespersigcheck should be used instead.
• The sigops and sigoplimit fields of the getblocktemplate RPC are now
  deprecated and the new sigchecks and sigchecklimit fields should be used
  instead. The option -deprecatedrpc=getblocktemplate_sigops can be used to
  print the legacy fields.
