Note that while multi-wallet is now fully supported, the RPC multi-wallet interface should be considered unstable for version 6.0.0, and there may backwards-incompatible changes in future versions.

Custom wallet directories
---------------------
The ability to specify a directory other than the default data directory in which to store
wallets has been added. An existing directory can be specified using the `-walletdir=<dir>`
argument. Wallets loaded via `-wallet` arguments must be in this wallet directory. Care should be taken
when choosing a wallet directory location, as if it becomes unavailable during operation,
funds may be lost.

Default wallet directory change
--------------------------
On new installations (if the data directory doesn't exist), wallets will now be stored in a
new `wallets/` subdirectory inside the data directory. If this `wallets/` subdirectory
doesn't exist (i.e. on existing nodes), the current datadir root is used instead, as it was.

Database cache memory increased
