+Updated REST APIs
+-----------------
+- Parameter validation for `/rest/getutxos` has been improved by rejecting
+  truncated or overly large txids and malformed outpoint indices by raising an
+  HTTP_BAD_REQUEST "Parse error". Previously, these malformed requests would be
+  silently handled. (#30482, #30444)
