    • ⏱ [PEERS] Init timeout changed to 3 seconds
    • 🔊 [LOGGING] Block downloader will no longer eat stack traces of exceptions in the logs.

    • 🔀 [SYNC] Peers with equal difficulty but higher block are now allowed further into peer allocation filters

    • [DISCOVERY] Messages are now only sent between bonded peers

    • 🔀 [SYNC] Beam sync no longer invokes standard processing after beam processing

    • ⚡️ [CONFIG] Added updated pivot blocks for AuRa chains
    • 👍 [DISCOVERY] Better handling of IPv6 addresses
    • 🔀 [LOGGING] Beam sync transactions are displayed now starting from 1 and not 0 (ie 1/2, 2/2 and not 0/2, 1/2)
