4.3.1

This is a maintenance release bringing bugfixes and substantial performance improvements. Upgrade to this version is optional, but highly recommended. Compared to 4.2.3 this node version has the following changes.

• Account records are no longer constantly retained in memory. Instead a limited
  number are retained in a cache. The number of cached accounts defaults to 10000,
  and can be configured by the --accounts-cache-size command line argument or the
  CONCORDIUM_NODE_CONSENSUS_ACCOUNTS_CACHE_SIZE environment variable.
• Reduce startup time and memory use further by reducing the amount of block
  data retained in memory. In particular finalized blocks are no longer stored
  in memory.
• Optimize node data structures related to accounts. This reduces node memory
  use and improves performance.
• Added the ability to download the catch-up file using the
  --download-blocks-from option (or CONCORDIUM_NODE_CONSENSUS_DOWNLOAD_BLOCKS_FROM environment variable).
• The gRPC API now reports correctly when the sender of a transaction did
  not have enough funds to cover the transaction costs.
• Remove obsolete and unused option --max-expiry-duration
• Remove transaction logging functionality from the node. It is replaced by an
  external service. As a consequence the transaction-outcome-logging family of
  command-line options are removed from the node. This functionality is replaced by the transaction logger service
