SegWit, Bitcoin JSON-RPC and (strange?) addresses

I'm trying to analyse this transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/a388d6f88373aacf2a5c170eeff4adf51f2c6744da26375d5890f42d653a2e6c

I used to be able to just run bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction txid 1 and get a reasonable output, but running it with this particular transaction id, I get this:

  "time": 1507561656,
  "blocktime": 1507561656
}

So, there are no addresses in the second output. But blockchain.info has this to say:

bc1qwqdg6squsna38e46795at95yu9atm8azzmyvckulcc7kytlcckxswvvzej (0.09083487 BTC - Output) --> 1QDwdPsF1cpf6Wvmo8QmFWZKUVGh1KzNh - (Unspent) 0.08 BTC, 
bc1qwqdg6squsna38e46795at95yu9atm8azzmyvckulcc7kytlcckxswvvzej - (Unspent) 0.01043487 BTC

I have multiple questions:

In the above blockchain.info link I gave, what are those strange-looking addresses starting with "bc1...", and
Is there a way to extract such data from the output of getrawtransaction?
If not, how did blockchain.info did it?

Search about "Bech32 address format": https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki Bech32 is a way to write SegWit addresses

Thanks, that's indeed it! Any clue how to get it from bitcoind? – Ivan Voras – 2017-10-09T17:15:33.457
