If using bitcoind (command line) on bitcoin core, how do I:

1) create a segwit address

2) will 'bitcoin-cli getnewaddress' give me a segwit or non segwit address.

3) what exactly is the difference between a segwit and non-segwit address,

4) if I use bitcoin-cli sendfrom ...' will the change address generated be a segwit or non segwit address?


Also what about the next version of Bitcoin core, how do I:

5) create a segwit address

6) will 'bitcoin-cli getnewaddress' give me a segwit or non segwit address.

7) if I use bitcoin-cli sendfrom ...' will the change address generated be a segwit or non segwit address?

8 ) When will this segwit capable version of bitcoin core be out?
