Testnet Build v0.1.28

This release targets the Tweedledee testnet with Network ID 127

Release Notes

This release includes a bunch of bugfixes and improvements over the previous testnet release. Fixes to issues that appeared in the last testnet:

• Adds a timeout to fetch requests to prevent sync from hanging (#2359)
• Check multiple layers for the active set of blocks/ATXs, used to determine hare eligibility, to make hare more robust against empty layers (#2357)
• Fix two memory leaks in the p2p layer (#2351)
• Allow tortoise to pass layers with abstain votes (#2337)
• Lots and lots of logging improvements, including a fix to an issue that caused logs to grow very large (#2323)

In addition, this build contains lots of small fixes and improvements from the latest develop branch, and two big improvements (not previously tested in a testnet):

• basic impl of node fetcher (#2128)
• Golden ATX (#2212)
