algorand/go-algorand v2.0.14-beta

Algorand BetaNet v2.0.14

on GitHub

Highlights

• APIv2: New API functionality for a wider feature set and laying the groundwork for future releases.
• IndexerV2: A new indexer built as a separate binary, that leverages a postgres backend of your choice for faster lookups. This deprecates IndexerV1 support.
• Fast Catchup backend support: We are working on providing functionality for getting a new node up to date in a much faster manner. This release lays the groundwork for this functionality - stay tuned!
