Highlights

• TEAL return type check: this release addresses an inconsistency in the specification where operands pushing order is different from return values order. There are no changes in TEAL evaluation so that no protocol upgrade is required. Corresponding changes to the specification can be found here: algorandfoundation/specs@21adc34
• Optimizations and improvements to fast catchup
