The "extra data downloaded" corresponds to the Utreexo proof download during IBD that Floresta does not require anymore due to SwiftSync, so that should be moved from utreexod to Floresta. |

- **Utreexod 0.5 released:**
Utreexod [v0.5][utreexod blog] introduces IBD using [SwiftSync][news349
swiftsync]: uses cryptographic aggregation to eliminate the need for downloading
and verifying accumulator inclusion proofs during IBD, and slashing the extra data
downloaded by Compact State Nodes during IBD from 1.4 TB to ~200 GB (worst case),
with further reductions possible through proof caching.
- **Floresta 0.9.0 released:**
Floresta [v0.9.0][floresta v0.9.0] aligns its P2P networking with the
[BIP-0183][news366 utreexo bips] for UTXO proof exchange,
replaces libbitcoinconsensus with libbitcoinkernel, for approximately 15x faster
script validation, among other changes.

This should mention that the data reduction download is for CSNs and not utreexod itself
