v2.5.0

Recommended Update

What’s Changed

• Protocol version has been bumped to 70023 due to the changes in the supported TX set.
• Fixes the case where unsupported TXs (say, now invalid ICX TX submitted from a 2.3.x node) caused the valid nodes to rollback excessively, which resulted in stalls in the blockchain when all miners end up in rollbacks at the same time due to the invalid DfTx. This provides better handling of unsupported TXs. Invalid TXs will no longer cause rollbacks.
• Adds an additional checkpoint at 1505965 (f7474c805de4f05673df2103bd5d8b8dea09b0d22f808ee957a9ceefc0720609).
