[v0.9.43] Removal of the options ws-port and ws-external

[gitmewai]

I believe not only the default port changed in v0.9.43 as mentioned in #7363 but also the removal of the options --ws-port and --ws-external in v0.9.43 also mentioned in #7361 .

Can the team explain the breaking changes in v0.9.43, please? How websocket is supported in v0.9.43?

Yeah they were removed as part of the following pr: paritytech/substrate#13384

I have updated the release notes to make these changes more prominent.

Did we have some typo? --rpc--port not there but --rpc-port, notice the --.

Also is --rpc_external correct? so _ and not -?

Thanks.

Yes, you are correct
