+New RPC methods
+===============
+
+Fee/Priority estimation
+-----------------------
+
+estimatefee nblocks : Returns approximate fee-per-1,000-bytes needed for
+a transaction to be confirmed within nblocks. Returns -1 if not enough
+transactions have been observed to compute a good estimate.
+
+estimatepriority nblocks : Returns approximate priority needed for
+a zero-fee transaction to confirm within nblocks. Returns -1 if not
+enough free transactions have been observed to compute a good
+estimate.
+
+Statistics used to estimate fees and priorities are saved in the
+data directory in the 'fee_estimates.dat' file just before
+program shutdown, and are read in at startup.
