Changelogs

Node

Consensus

Ledger

• Correctly translate time for Plutus (from protocol version 6 onwards). (#2451)
• Adding changes to the libsodium bindings. Those include a functional fix that makes it safe to call the function that generates a public key from a private key concurrently. We only use those functions in the CLI, in a non-concurrent manner, but they are exposed in cardano-api. This fix ensures that custom code written against cardano-api behaves as expected when run in multiple threads. Furthermore, there are performance improvements that should have a positive impact on sync times. (#236)
