In this release we merged all features from solana codebase v1.9

A list of major changes:

  1. Implemented borsh Serialization format for evm instructions - this will make better foreign language support, and allows future extendability
  2. Implemented feature that allow pay evm fee in native.
  3. EVM bridge will proxy all unknown requests to node, and for now using async api (this will increase its resilience and performance).
  4. (Solana) New native fee management - deprecated Fee governor, new rpc methods to receive fee of tx.
  5. (Solana) QUIC protocol support for tpu/tvu.
  6. (Solana) Rpc is splitted to basic (for validators) and full version (for rpc node).
  7. (Solana) Implemented etcd consensus recovery that allows failover for validator nodes https://docs.solana.com/ru/running-validator/validator-failover.
  8. Updates of many external dependencies.

Notes for validators:

  1. Port range are changed and now validator needs more ports.
  2. If you use your node for retrieving transactions history, please set --full-rpc-api flag in order to enable history apis.

On update, make sure that delinquent validators is less than 5%.
