This release includes the following features and fixes:

• Add a -fixedseeds option which can be set to 0 to disable the hardcoded seeds. This can be used in conjunction with dsnssed=0 to create a trusted peer only setup. In this case the nodes need to be added manually with the -addnode option or the addnode RPC.
• The node will now limit the rate at which the addresses received via p2p messages are processed. This can be bypassed if needed by granting the addr permission to a peer(see the -whitelist option for details).
• A bitcoind node will no longer gossip addresses to inbound peers by default. They will become eligible for address gossip after sending an ADDR, ADDRV2, or GETADDR message.
• The getpeerinfo RPC returns two new boolean fields, bip152_hb_to and bip152_hb_from, that respectively indicate whether we selected a peer to be in compact blocks high-bandwidth mode or whether a peer selected us as a compact blocks high-bandwidth peer. High-bandwidth peers send new block announcements via a cmpctblock message rather than the usual inv/headers announcements. See BIP 152 for more details.
