 Note that while multi-wallet is now fully supported, the RPC multi-wallet interface should be considered unstable for version 6.0.0, and there may backwards-incompatible changes in future versions.
 
+Custom wallet directories
+---------------------
+The ability to specify a directory other than the default data directory in which to store
+wallets has been added. An existing directory can be specified using the `-walletdir=<dir>`
+argument. Wallets loaded via `-wallet` arguments must be in this wallet directory. Care should be taken
+when choosing a wallet directory location, as if  it becomes unavailable during operation,
+funds may be lost.
+
+Default wallet directory change
+--------------------------
+On new installations (if the data directory doesn't exist), wallets will now be stored in a
+new `wallets/` subdirectory inside the data directory. If this `wallets/` subdirectory
+doesn't exist (i.e. on existing nodes), the current datadir root is used instead, as it was.
