After the hard fork, unshielding to P2PKH addresses or to P2PK addresses will not be allowed. For this reason, the following RPC commands have been (partially) deprecated: `z_sendmany` and `z_mergetoaddress` (check inline documentation for additional details). + +## New Features and Improvements +- Unshielding to script addresses only: a hard-fork is introduced which results in unshielding txs to target only P2SH addresses [#624](https://github.com/HorizenOfficial/zen/pull/624) + +## Bugfixes + +## Minor Changes + +## Contributors + +[@JackPiri](https://github.com/JackPiri) +[mantle0x](https://github.com/mantle0x) + +Special thanks to [mantle0x](https://github.com/mantle0x) for the first contribution to Zen!
