Node 8.11.0-pre introduces a number of changes that are needed to prepare for the Conway era, as well as other improvements. The hardfork combinator (HFC) has been made more robust and governance actions have been limited for the bootstrap phase. The PlutusV3 cost model has been added to the Conway genesis file. Network code includes further peer sharing improvements and changes that are related to inbound and outbound governors. Modifications have also been made to the Praos chain order. New API features include the possibility to query the account state, and to estimate and calculate balanced TxBodys. Finally, two new CLI commands have been introduced: governance action create-hardfork to generate a hard fork governance action, and transaction build-estimate, to produce a balanced transaction body without requiring a connection to a live node.
