Highlights

This release contains performance improvements as well as lays the groundwork for future features.

  • Re-factoring and re-organization of code to improve performance
  • Minor improvement to memory utilization on relays
  • Initial groundwork for future compact certificate support
  • Pre-requisite work for co-chain support
  • Core block archiver support
  • Added AssetClosingAmount to ApplyData

This release will require a protocol upgrade.
