users of graphical (wallet) installations. Before, this could only be done
through manual editing of the configuration file.
The new setting allows a user to decrease the total disk space used for keeping
full blocks the node down to 3GB, by removing blocks that are no longer needed
for full incremental validation of the blockchain.
**Caveats**
Note that when running a pruned node, the following applies:
* The node will no longer relay blocks and transactions.
* If the node needs to recover after a hardware failure, it might need to
re-download the entire chain.

for wallet transactions, or importing old keys, will not function.
* Reverting this setting will make the node re-download the entire chain.
### Manage the number of connections without restart
A new RPC method `setmaxconnections` has been introduced that enables wallet
