This release includes the following features and fixes:

• Fix a potential OOM crash of bitcoin-qt when opening a BIP72 URI pointing to a very large file. The node will stop downloading the payment request if it exceeds the max size of 50kB.
• The testmempoolaccept RPC now returns 2 additional results within the fees result: effective-feerate is the feerate including fees and sizes of transactions validated together if package validation was used, and also includes any modified fees from prioritisetransaction. The effective-includes result lists the txids of transactions whose modified fees and sizes were used in the effective-feerate.
• Fix a data race that could prevent the staking reward winner from being added to the block template when the longpoll feature is used.
