The consensus team optimized the db-truncater tool on SanchoNet and improved debugging for bootstrap nodes.
The performance and tracing teams have released benchmarks for node v8.12.0, worked on governance workloads, and updated the latest Plutus cost model. CIP-69 and CIP-117 are now in the validation phase. Additionally, the team has deprecated the RTView component, which was presented in Zurich, and developed a community report on UTXO scaling benchmarks.
