+- A new `importmempool` RPC has been added. It loads a valid `mempool.dat` file and attempts to
+  add its contents to the mempool. This can be useful to import mempool data from another node
+  without having to modify the datadir contents and without having to restart the node. (#27460)
+    - Warning: Importing untrusted files is dangerous, especially if metadata from the file is taken over.
+    - If you want to apply fee deltas, it is recommended to use the `getprioritisedtransactions` and
+      `prioritisetransaction` RPCs instead of the `apply_fee_delta_priority` option to avoid
+      double-prioritising any already-prioritised transactions in the mempool.
