2.24

This version replaces all previous versions. Any prior version will stop working
on 2024-05-29T00:00:00Z. Node administrators must upgrade to this version
before that date. The 2.24 feature upgrade will occur at block height 4819246
which is estimated to be mined at 2024-05-30T00:00:00Z.

This version will expire on 2024-08-21T00:00:00Z.

To upgrade, pull the latest docker image or download the binary and restart the node.

Changes:

• Transactions with expired TTLs and transactions with creation times in the
  future now yield different errors (#1868)

• Buying and redeeming gas were optimized, meaning all transactions now
  require less space in the Pact state and take slightly less time (#1886)

• Block payloads (i.e. transactions and their outputs) are now stored in a more
  space-efficient binary format. They are also now indexed by block height in
  addition to hash, improving overall performance of the payload store by
  increasing data locality. Payloads already in the node's database will not
  be automatically migrated; this change only applies to newly written payloads.

  A migration tool may be released in future.
  (#1885)

• Nodes configured to run without contacting any other nodes now log this more
  accurately (#1914)

• Add a flag --full-historic-pact-state which is set by default. This flag
  disallows use of a compacted Pact state. Unsetting this flag will not compact
  the Pact state automatically, but it will decrease the amount of disk space
  used by the Pact state in subsequent transactions to some extent. (#1910)

• Add "allow" verifier to devnet, to allow testing verifier plugin integrations
  in third-party tools (#1896)

Internal changes:

• Add a CLI flag for executing non-destructive replays of Pact history, to
  augment the already existing config file field (#1915)
• Pact requests are now cancellable, even before they start, and the interface
  to the Pact service is now easier to use (#1871)
• Mined blocks that fail validation on the mining node produce better errors
  including the outputs of the block from when it was created (#1888)
• Fix the block validation to correctly log the number of fork blocks played
  (#1904, #1874)
• Make tests more repeatable (#1902, #1903)
• Make some tests faster (#1866, #1897)
• Module cache contents should now be irrelevant to block validation, making
  block validation less brittle (#1872)
• Move some log messages from Info level to Debug level making it
  more useful to run a node at log level Info with telemetry disabled (#1874)
• cwtool is now included in the docker image produced by CI allowing
  administrators to use it more easily (#1887)
• The coin contract directory structure was reorganized to match the directory
  structure of the namespace contract for ease of maintenance (#1892)
