0xPolygon/bor v2.4.0-beta2 on GitHub

Bor v2.4.0-beta2 is a major release containing changes for Madhugiri Hardfork on Amoy along with several improvements and bug fixes.

Madhugiri Hardfork enables the following PIPs/EIPs

PIP-74: Canonical Inclusion of state-sync (bridge) transactions in block body.
Parameterise block producer time (PIP to be added soon)
EIP-7883: ModExp Gas Cost Increase
EIP-7823: Set upper bounds for MODEXP
EIP-7825: Transaction Gas Limit Cap. For bor, this value is set to 2^25 M (33,554,432)

Note that this release doesn't enable the HF yet. A new release will follow for setting the HF block number.
