Corda V2.0
Corda 2.0
Following swiftly on the heels of the release of Corda 1.0, Corda version 2.0 consolidates a number of security updates for our dependent libraries alongside the reintroduction of the Observer node functionality. This was absent from version 1 but based on user feedback its re-introduction removes the need for complicated "isRelevant()" checks.
In addition the fix for a small bug present in the coin selection code of V1.0 is integrated from master.
Version Bump
Due to the introduction of new APIs, Corda 2.0 has a platform version of 2. This will be advertised in the network map structures and via the versioning APIs.
Observer Nodes
Adds the facility for transparent forwarding of transactions to some third party observer, such as a regulator. By having that entity simply run an Observer node they can simply receive a stream of digitally signed, de-duplicated reports that can be used for reporting.
